Teleport Network Scan Initiated

Panther Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule monitors the initiation of network scans using the Teleport platform, which can indicate enumeration activities on the network. The rule is triggered when a user invokes a scanning command, specifically using utilities like Nmap, which is commonly used for discovering hosts and services on a network. The rule checks the logs from Teleport Audit to identify if a user has executed a network scanning command with specific arguments that suggest discovery. Potential scanning behavior is assessed based on the provided command arguments and system-level events. If the command is executed without arguments or in a benign manner, it will not trigger an alert, reducing false positives. This detection is pegged with a medium severity and contributes to the defense against network reconnaissance activities that are precursors to attacks.
