You Should Know: Key Cybersecurity Practices & Commands
1. Monitoring Entra ID (Azure AD) Threats
Use these PowerShell commands to detect suspicious activities in Entra ID:
Get all risky sign-ins Get-AzureADRiskDetection List risky users Get-AzureADRiskyUser Investigate sign-in logs (requires MS Graph) Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "AuditLog.Read.All" Get-MgAuditLogSignIn -Filter "status/errorCode eq 0" -Top 100
2. Detecting MFA Bypass Attempts
Check for MFA failures and conditional access violations:
Check MFA registration status
Get-MsolUser -All | Where-Object { $_.StrongAuthenticationMethods -eq $null }
Analyze MFA failures in logs
Get-MgAuditLogSignIn -Filter "status/errorCode eq 50058"
3. Linux Threat Hunting with CrowdStrike Falcon
If using CrowdStrike, these Linux commands help analyze threats:
Check running processes
ps aux | grep -i "suspicious_process"
Inspect network connections
netstat -tulnp
Search for hidden files
find / -name "." -type f -exec ls -la {} \;
4. Windows Security Log Analysis
Extract security events from Windows Event Logs:
Get failed login attempts
Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName='Security'; ID=4625}
Check for PowerShell exploitation
Get-WinEvent -LogName "Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational" | Where-Object {$_.Id -eq 4104}
5. Automating Threat Detection with Python
A simple script to monitor logins:
import pandas as pd
from azure.monitor.ingestion import LogsIngestionClient
client = LogsIngestionClient("<endpoint>", "<credential>")
logs = client.query_logs("SigninLogs", "| where ResultType != 0")
print(pd.DataFrame(logs))
What Undercode Say
Cybersecurity is a continuous battle, and staying ahead requires automation, community knowledge, and proactive threat hunting. Tools like CrowdStrike Falcon, Azure AD logs, and PowerShell scripting are critical for defenders.
