EVENmonitor streams Domain Controller Security logs in real time and decodes Windows events to reveal Active Directory attacks the moment they occur. This guide maps common AD attack techniques to their definitive Windows Event IDs, provides example commands and distinguishing forensic fields for detecting DCSync, AS‑REP Roasting, password spraying, Pass‑the‑Hash, Kerberoasting, privilege manipulation, and account lifecycle abuse #EVENmonitor #ActiveDirectory
Keypoints
- EVENmonitor uses the MS‑EVEN6 RPC interface to stream Domain Controller Security events agentlessly and in real time.
- The article maps specific attacks to Event IDs (e.g., 4662 for DCSync, 4768 for AS‑REP Roasting, 4625 for password spraying).
- Practical detection examples include commands and tooling demonstrations for DCSync, AS‑REP Roasting, password spraying, Pass‑the‑Hash, Pass‑the‑Ticket, Kerberoasting, and account/group abuse.
- Key forensic indicators highlighted are SubjectUserName, TargetUserName, PreAuthType, TicketEncryptionType, LogonType, and source IpAddress to distinguish malicious activity.
- EVENmonitor supports NTLM-hash (-H) authentication, installs via pipx, and is presented as a lightweight option for live incident response and purple-team validation.
