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

* Update persistence_route_table_created.toml

rules/

Rules within this folder are organized by solution or platform. The structure is flattened out, because nested file hierarchies are hard to navigate and find what you're looking for. Each directory contains several .toml files, and the primary ATT&CK tactic is included in the file name when it's relevant (i.e. windows/execution_via_compiled_html_file.toml)
