MITRE ATT&CK

25 rules detecting network flows that match MITRE ATT&CK v18.1 techniques across 5 tactics: Initial Access, Command and Control, Lateral Movement, Exfiltration, and Discovery.

Discovery

Rule IDSeverityTechniqueCategorySummary
ATK-T1018-01MEDIUMT1018Remote System DiscoveryICMP from broad source to broad/any destination
ATK-T1046-01HIGHT1046Network Service DiscoveryWide TCP port range between internal hosts
ATK-T1046-02MEDIUMT1046Network Service DiscoveryWide UDP port range between internal hosts

The Severity column, like the Rules tab, shows the worst-case severity a rule can emit. MITRE ATT&CK rules have no tiered severities: each rule always emits the severity shown.

ICMP flows

ATK-T1018-01 fires when the ICMP type selection includes Echo Request (Type 8). An all or blank ICMP type field selects every known ICMP type, so it fires too. The T1046 rules check TCP and UDP port ranges only, so ICMP never triggers them.
