AN0493 Analytic 0493
Windows · attack.mitre.org · ATT&CK Enterprise v19.2
<p>Detects adversary exploitation of authentication mechanisms or credential validation processes. Defender perspective includes forged Kerberos tickets (e.g., MS14-068), abnormal LSASS memory access, replayed authentication attempts, and unexpected crashes of authentication services. Multi-event correlation ties exploitation attempts to abnormal process creation, service instability, and suspicious authentication events.</p>

Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=4768, 4769, 4770 | DC0002 User Account Authentication |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=10 | DC0035 Process Access |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
MonitoredAccounts | High-value accounts (e.g., Domain Admins) for anomalous ticket issuance or replay activity. |
ReplayDetectionWindow | Time window for correlating duplicate or replayed Kerberos authentications. |
