Setup
editSetup
This rule uses Elastic Endpoint network events from Linux hosts and system integration events from Domain controllers for correlation. Both data sources should be collected from the hosts for this detection to work.
The Audit Detailed File Share audit policy must be configured (Success Failure). Steps to implement the logging policy with Advanced Audit Configuration:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Advanced Audit Policies Configuration > Audit Policies > Object Access > Audit Detailed File Share (Success,Failure)
