DNS Query To Remote Access Software Domain From Non-Browser App

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule detects DNS queries directed towards domains associated with remote access software from non-browser applications. Such software, including Team Viewer, LogMeIn, and AmmyyAdmin, can be misused by adversaries to establish control over compromised systems. These remote access tools are often permitted in enterprise environments, posing a risk if they are exploited by attackers to facilitate unauthorized access. The rule monitors DNS queries for specific domain endings commonly utilized by these remote access applications, filtering out requests generated by recognized web browsers to minimize false positives. It utilizes extensive domain name patterns to identify suspicious behavior from legitimate software, thus enhancing the security posture against potential command and control (C2) channels. This detection mechanism aims to alert security teams of potentially malign activity leveraging trusted software environments.
