HackTool - Inveigh Execution

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
The HackTool - Inveigh Execution detection rule is designed to identify the execution of 'Inveigh', a cross-platform .NET tool utilized for man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, particularly in the context of credential harvesting. The rule primarily focuses on the creation of processes that utilize Inveigh's executable file, targeting its specific file names and command line arguments associated with its functionality. The detection criteria include matching the file paths of known Inveigh components, such as the executable and its supporting DLL, as well as analyzing specific command-line parameters that are indicative of active MitM operations. Given the critical nature of this detection, it aims to alert security teams of potential misuse of this tool in an environment, thus allowing for timely remediation and mitigation of possible credential theft or data interception. The rule contributes to the broader attack detection landscape by focusing on tactics related to credential access, thereby enhancing the overall security posture against emerging threats associated with misused tools.
