Hunting For Supply Chain Compromise

Name: hunting-for-supply-chain-compromise
Author: mukul975

When to Use

When proactively hunting for indicators of hunting for supply chain compromise in the environment
After threat intelligence indicates active campaigns using these techniques
During incident response to scope compromise related to these techniques
When EDR or SIEM alerts trigger on related indicators
During periodic security assessments and purple team exercises

Prerequisites

EDR platform with process and network telemetry (CrowdStrike, MDE, SentinelOne)
SIEM with relevant log data ingested (Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel)
Sysmon deployed with comprehensive configuration
Windows Security Event Log forwarding enabled
Threat intelligence feeds for IOC correlation

Workflow

Formulate Hypothesis: Define a testable hypothesis based on threat intelligence or ATT&CK gap analysis.
Identify Data Sources: Determine which logs and telemetry are needed to validate or refute the hypothesis.
Execute Queries: Run detection queries against SIEM and EDR platforms to collect relevant events.
Analyze Results: Examine query results for anomalies, correlating across multiple data sources.
Validate Findings: Distinguish true positives from false positives through contextual analysis.
Correlate Activity: Link findings to broader attack chains and threat actor TTPs.
Document and Report: Record findings, update detection rules, and recommend response actions.

Key Concepts

Concept	Description
T1195.001	Compromise Software Dependencies

T1199	Trusted Relationship

Tools & Systems

Tool	Purpose
CrowdStrike Falcon	EDR telemetry and threat detection
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint	Advanced hunting with KQL
