Agent skill
hunting-credential-stuffing-attacks
Detects credential stuffing attacks by analyzing authentication logs for login velocity anomalies, ASN diversity, password spray patterns, and geographic distribution of failed logins. Uses statistical analysis on Splunk or raw log data. Use when investigating account takeover campaigns or building detection rules for auth abuse.

Hunting Credential Stuffing Attacks
Instructions
Analyze authentication logs to detect credential stuffing by identifying patterns of distributed login failures, high IP diversity, and suspicious ASN distribution.
import pandas as pd
from collections import Counter
# Load auth logs
df = pd.read_csv("auth_logs.csv", parse_dates=["timestamp"])
# Credential stuffing indicator: many IPs trying few accounts
ip_per_account = df[df["status"] == "failed"].groupby("username")["source_ip"].nunique()
accounts_under_attack = ip_per_account[ip_per_account > 50]
Key detection indicators:
- High unique source IPs per failed username
- Low success rate across many accounts (< 1%)
- ASN concentration from cloud/proxy providers
- Geographic impossibility (same account, distant locations)
- User-agent uniformity across distributed IPs
Examples
# Password spray: one password tried across many accounts
spray = df[df["status"] == "failed"].groupby(["source_ip", "password_hash"]).agg(
accounts=("username", "nunique")).reset_index()
sprays = spray[spray["accounts"] > 10]

mapping-mitre-attack-techniques
Maps observed adversary behaviors, security alerts, and detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques to quantify detection coverage and guide control prioritization. Use when building an ATT&CK-based coverage heatmap, tagging SIEM alerts with technique IDs, aligning security controls to adversary playbooks, or reporting threat exposure to executives. Activates for requests involving ATT&CK Navigator, Sigma rules, MITRE D3FEND, or coverage gap analysis.
