Isai b73e6e2a57 [Rule Tuning] AWS S3 Bucket Enumeration or Brute Force (#5173)
* [Rule Tuning] AWS S3 Bucket Enumeration or Brute Force

- changed to threshold rule to improve context
- groups alerts by unique combination of `tls.client.server_name`(bucket name), `source.address` (can be either an ip or an internal AWS service address like ), and `aws.cloudtrail.user_identity.type` (this is to prevent capturing double events produced when a user Assumes a role inside another AWS account. This results in the same request being created twice, once as both AssumedRole and AWSAccount identity types)
- uses `event.id` as the cardinality field and counts >= 40
- checks that`tls.client.server_name` exists in the query, this is to prevent capturing denied internal AWS actions that may occur against no particular bucket but against the S3 service itself
- adds highlighted fields
- replaces mitre technique
- replaces more detailed investigation guide including specific details around investigating Threshold rule types via timeline

* kuery language update

* removing extra space

* adding integration

* removing filebeat because of tls.client.server_name

removing filebeat because of tls.client.server_name

* update IG references

updated the references listed in the IG

Isai 8eb32f96ce Update privilege_escalation_sts_role_chaining.toml (#5180)
- changed rule from esql to new_terms. While details are limited in telemetry, the noise is evident. We've also gotten complaints about the noise from our own infosec team, prompting this tuning. Changes to a new terms rule will reduce noise by over 90% when tested against prod data.
- This originally only triggered for role chaining within a single AWS account, so excluded common cross-account role assumption. However, I am unable to apply a filter for that with KQL but the benefits to creating new-terms rule outweigh the benefits of keeping that exclusion with esql.
- looks for unique combination of `aws.cloudtrail.user_identity.session_context.session_issuer.arn` (originating role) and `aws.cloudtrail.resources.arn`(target role). Because the only identity type we are concerned with here are `AssumedRole` types, we don't have the same new_terms field limitations as with other rules that also must consider `IAMUser` types. So these fields will suffice.
- added highlighted fields
- added index pattern. rule is compatible with filebeat
- updated the investigation guide and description and description

Note: I may consider creating a broader BBR rule, with the same criteria just not new terms, as a way of capturing all instances of role chaining for investigative purposes

Isai db1f8d1fab [Rule Tuning] Potential AWS S3 Bucket Ransomware Note Uploaded (#5149)
* [Rule Tuning] Potential AWS S3 Bucket Ransomware Note Uploaded

- changed this from ESQL to EQL. While initially were only able to isolate uploaded file names using the `aws.cloudtrail.request_parameters` field, we now can use the target.entity.id field to isolate the uploaded file arn. I've adjusted the regex pattern to distinguish between the bucket name and the file uploaded, both of which are included in the target.entity.id field.
- I chose eql instead of esql to 1. provide more meaningful alert context to the user and 2. allow for easier exclusions for the user. Right now these alerts aren't generating much meaningful context.
- edits to description
- new investigation guide using specific AWS IR Ransomware Playbooks as additional context
- additional MITRE technique

* added highlighted fields

Isai 90ee151bf0 [Tuning] AWS Access Token Used from Multiple Addresses (#5055)
* [Tuning] AWS Access Token Used from Multiple Addresses

Tuning was triggered by a community member

- fixes wildcard and `Pulumi` typos to exclude common IaC tools
- adds exclusion for ``source.as.organization.name` == "AMAZON-02" and aws.cloudtrail.event_category == "Data"` to exclude the noisy multi-IP traffic coming from Amazon-02 networks performing high-throughput data-plane operations. I didn't exclude this network completely because this network can also indicate user-triggered events that are worth keeping in the alert.
- added additional high noise service providers that may be more indicative of console browsing
- added a field for pairing source.ip & network
- added highlighted fields

Isai 88d9811361 [Rule Tunings] AWS SNS new Terms rules (#5082)
AWS SNS is a pub/sub style service where users can subscribe to a topic and receive messages published to that topic. Below is a screenshot of the different protocols a user could subscribe with and the various endpoints that could be associated with those protocols.

AWS SNS Email Subscription by Rare User -->  AWS SNS Rare Protocol Subscription by User (not a new rule)
- changed the scope of the rule to capture the first time a user/role subscribes to a topic via a particular protocol (ie. email, http, lambda, mobile). Subscribing to an SNS topic via email is a rather normal behavior and it would be normal for each user to subscribe this way "for the first time" making this rule not as valuable as it was intended to be.
- reduced execution window
- added real-world threat references
- added additional MITRE technique and Impact tag
- small edits to IG and Description
- edited highlighted fields

AWS SNS Topic Message Publish by Rare User
- added AWS to name for consistency
-changed new terms fields to use a combination of cloud.account.id and user.name against the topic itself `aws.cloudtrail.resources.arn`. So that instead of simply evaluating the first time a user/role publishes a message to ANY topic, this rule now looks for the first time a user/role publishes a message to a particular topic. We want to make this distinction to capture the case where an identity responsible for publishing to a particular topic A suddenly starts publishing to another topic B, which indicates behavior that should be verified.
- reduced new terms window
- added setup notes as Data events are necessary for capturing the `Publish` API call
- reduced execution window
- added real-world threat references
- added additional MITRE technique and Impact tag
- small edits to IG and Description
- edited highlighted fields

AWS SNS Topic Created by Rare User
- removed the `AssumedRole` and `*-i*` parameters from the query as this narrowed the query to only alert on behavior from EC2 instance roles. We ideally want to evaluate this behavior for all users and roles.
- reduced execution window
- added real-world threat references
- added additional MITRE technique and Impact tag
- small edits to IG and Description
- edited highlighted fields

Isai fcc82fa49c [Tuning] AWS S3 Unauthenticated Bucket Access by Rare Source (#5075)
* [Rule Tuning] AWS S3 Unauthenticated Bucket Access by Rare Source

No query changes as this rule is alerting as expected, however I did change the new terms field to be a combination of an IP address and a particular bucket name. Rather than just alerting for the IP address itself. Perhaps an IP is seen retrieving a doc from a public bucket in the environment (expected behavior) but then it also accesses a file in a bucket meant to be private (unexpected behavior). With new terms only on the IP address we would miss the private bucket access.

- added `tls.client.server_name` to new terms field (bucket name)
- reduced execution window
- removed duplicate IG
- added setup note for turning on data events
- small edits to description and highlighted fields

Isai 7ff2648cfd [Rule Tuning] SSM Session Started to EC2 Instance (#5068)
* [Rule Tuning] SSM Session Started to EC2 Instance

Role/role session noise seen in telemetry due to new fields term using `aws.cloudtrail.user_identity.arn`, which is unique for each role session and does not isolate the role itself.

- new fields term change to `cloud.account.id` and `user.name` combination to account for both IAMUsers and Roles across multiple accounts.
- added AWS to the rule name
- reduced execution window
- small edits to description and IG
- added reference from IG to Reference section

Isai 76e083ced0 [Rule Tunings] AWS Route Table Created / AWS EC2 Route Table Modified or Deleted (#5064)
* [Rule Tunings] AWS Route Table Created / AWS EC2 Route Table Modified or Deleted

AWS Route Table Created
- turned this into a new_terms rule to reduce noise and be more indicative of potential malicious behavior. Used `cloud.account.id`, `user.name` combination to account for both roles and users doing this behavior for the first time.
- changed execution interval
- changed the name to add EC2
- slight adjustments to IG and description
- fixed tagging error
- added investigation fields

AWS EC2 Route Table Modified or Deleted
- replaced new terms field to `cloud.account.id`, `user.name` combination to account for both roles and users doing this behavior for the first time.
- removed the exclusions from this rule. These exclusions, while meant to reduce noise caused by automation tools, actually just provide an easy bypass. A user can simply use CloudFormation to perform the exact same behaviors and avoid detection. I've shown this in the screenshot below, I ran a nearly identical script, one with and one without using CloudFormation. While `source.address` is `cloudformation.amazonaws.com` the behavior was still performed by an IAMUser and should still be evaluated. The fact that this is a new terms rule will reduce the risk of noise due to automation using these tools.
- changed execution interval
- slight adjustments to IG and description
- added investigation fields

Isai e22f60f44c [Tuning] AWS IAM Create User via Assumed Role on EC2 Instance (#5063)
- query change : I chose to replace `aws.cloudtrail.user_identity.arn` with `user.id` and a more accurate wildcard pattern. This will reduce the chances of this rule triggering for role sessions outside of those started by EC2 instances. The wildcard pattern looks for a role session name that starts with `i-` this is because when an EC2 instance operates using it's attached Role (instance profile), the session name attached to that role name is the instance id (`i-......`). The `user.id` field appends this session name to the role name via a standard pattern `:[session_name]`, making it a more reliable field to use in this case.
- small edits to description and IG
- reduced execution window
- reduced history window
- edited highlighted fields
Note: the new_terms field here remains `aws.cloudtrail.user_identity.arn` because we are only interested in assumed roles, and even more particular, only those used by an EC2 instance. This means we want to evaluate each individual instance's behavior rather than the broader behavior of the role itself. The arn field will capture each instance id (session name) alongside the role itself.
