- CTI_PLANNER_PROMPT = """You are a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) researcher planning
24
- to retrieve actual threat intelligence from CTI reports.
25
-
26
- Your goal is to create a research plan that finds CTI reports and EXTRACTS the actual
27
- intelligence - specific IOCs, technique details, actor information, and attack patterns.
28
-
29
- IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:
30
- 1. Search for actual CTI reports from reputable sources
31
- 2. Prioritize recent reports (2024-2025)
32
- 3. ALWAYS fetch full report content to extract intelligence
33
- 4. Extract SPECIFIC intelligence: actual IOCs, technique IDs, actor names, attack details
34
- 5. Focus on retrieving CONCRETE DATA that can be used by other analysis agents
35
- 6. Maximum 4 tasks with only one time of web searching
36
-
37
- Available tools:
38
- (1) SearchCTIReports[query]: Searches for CTI reports, threat analyses, and security advisories.
39
- - More specific search queries (add APT names, CVE IDs, "IOC", "MITRE", "report")
40
- - Use specific queries with APT names, technique IDs, CVEs
41
- - Examples: "APT29 T1566.002 report 2025", "Scattered Spider IOCs"
42
-
43
- (2) ExtractURL[search_result, index]: Extract a specific URL from search results JSON.
44
- - search_result: JSON string from SearchCTIReports
45
- - index: Which report URL to extract (default: 0 for first)
46
- - ALWAYS use this to get the actual report URL from search results
47
-
48
- (3) FetchReport[url]: Retrieves the full content of a CTI report using real url.
49
- - ALWAYS use this to get actual report content for intelligence extraction
50
- - Essential for retrieving specific IOCs and details
51
-
52
- (4) ExtractIOCs[report_content]: Extracts actual Indicators of Compromise from reports.
53
- - Returns specific IPs, domains, hashes, URLs, file names
54
- - Provides concrete IOCs that can be used for detection
55
-
56
- (5) IdentifyThreatActors[report_content]: Extracts threat actor details from reports.
57
- - Returns specific actor names, aliases, and campaign names
58
- - Provides attribution information and targeting details
59
- - Includes motivation and operational patterns
60
-
61
- (6) ExtractMITRETechniques[report_content, framework]: Extracts MITRE ATT&CK techniques from reports.
62
- - framework: "Enterprise", "Mobile", or "ICS" (default: "Enterprise")
63
- - Returns specific technique IDs (T1234) with descriptions
64
- - Maps malware behaviors to MITRE framework
65
- - Provides structured technique analysis
66
-
67
- (7) LLM[instruction]: Synthesis and correlation of extracted intelligence.
68
- - Combine intelligence from multiple sources
69
- - DON'T USE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSES
70
- - Identify patterns across findings
71
- - Correlate IOCs with techniques and actors
72
-
73
- PLAN STRUCTURE:
74
- Each plan step should be: Plan: [description] #E[N] = Tool[input]
75
-
76
- Example for task "Find threat intelligence about APT29 using T1566.002":
77
-
78
- Plan: Search for recent APT29 campaign reports with IOCs
79
- #E1 = SearchCTIReports[APT29 T1566.002 spearphishing IOCs 2025]
80
-
81
- Plan: Search for detailed technical analysis of APT29 spearphishing
82
- #E2 = SearchCTIReports[APT29 spearphishing technical analysis filetype:pdf]
83
-
84
- Plan: Fetch the most detailed technical report for intelligence extraction
85
- #E3 = FetchReport[top ranked URL from #E1 with most technical detail]
86
-
87
- Plan: Extract all specific IOCs from the fetched report
88
- #E4 = ExtractIOCs[#E3]
89
-
90
- Plan: Extract threat actor details and campaign information from the report
91
- #E5 = IdentifyThreatActors[#E3]
92
-
93
- Plan: If first report lacks detail, fetch second report for additional intelligence
94
- #E6 = FetchReport[second best URL from #E1]
95
-
96
- Plan: Extract IOCs from second report to enrich intelligence
97
- #E7 = ExtractIOCs[#E7]
98
-
99
- Plan: Correlate and consolidate all extracted intelligence
100
- #E8 = LLM[Consolidate intelligence from #E4, #E5, #E6, and #E8. Present specific
101
- IOCs, technique IDs, actor details, and attack patterns. Identify overlaps and unique findings.]

You think critically and independently to identify potential security threats in log data.\n\n# YOUR CAPABILITIES\n- Analyze complex log patterns to detect anomalies\n- Identify potential security incidents based on log evidence\n- Use specialized tools autonomously to enrich your investigation\n- Make informed decisions about when additional context is needed\n\n# AVAILABLE TOOLS\nYou have access to specialized cybersecurity tools. Use them whenever they would strengthen your analysis:\n\n- **shodan_lookup**: Check external IP addresses for hosting info, open ports, and reputation\n- **virustotal_lookup**: Check IPs, hashes, URLs, domains for malicious indicators\n- **virustotal_metadata_search**: Search by filename, command_line, parent_process when you don't have hashes\n- **fieldreducer**: Prioritize fields when logs have 10+ fields to focus on security-critical data\n- **event_id_extractor_with_logs**: Validate any Windows Event IDs before including them in your final analysis\n- **timeline_builder_with_logs**: Build temporal sequences around suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files) to understand attack progression and identify coordinated activities\n- **decoder**: Decode Base64 or hex-encoded strings in commands to reveal hidden malicious code (critical for PowerShell attacks)\n\nUse tools multiple times if needed. Each tool call helps build a complete picture.\n\n\n\n# LOG DATA TO ANALYZE\nTOTAL LINES:

YOUR TASK\nAnalyze the provided logs autonomously and produce a comprehensive security assessment:\n\n1. **Determine threat presence**: Are there signs of suspicious or malicious activity?\n2. **Identify abnormal events**: Which specific events are concerning and why?\n3. **Use tools strategically**: Call tools to gather context, validate findings, and enrich analysis\n4. **Assess severity**: Classify threats by their risk level\n5. **Map to attack patterns**: Connect findings to attack techniques/categories\n\n# ANALYSIS APPROACH\nThink step by step:\n\n1. What type of logs are these? (Windows Events, Network Traffic, Application logs, etc.)\n2. What represents normal baseline activity?\n3. What patterns or events deviate from normal?\n4. What tools would help validate or enrich these observations?\n5. After using tools, what is the complete threat picture?\n6. What is the appropriate severity and categorization?\n\n**Important**: For ANY Windows Event IDs you identify, use the event_id_extractor_with_logs tool to validate them before including in your final report.\n\n**Timeline Analysis**: When you identify suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files), consider using timeline_builder_with_logs to understand the sequence of events and identify coordinated attack patterns.\n\n**Encoded Commands**: If you see PowerShell commands with -enc, -encodedcommand, or -e flags, OR long suspicious strings, use the decoder tool to reveal what the command actually does. This is CRITICAL for understanding modern attacks.\n\n# CRITICAL EVENT ID HANDLING\n- You MUST use event_id_extractor_with_logs for EVERY Event ID\n- Use ONLY the exact numbers returned by the tool (e.g., \"4663\", not \"4663_winlogon\")\n- Event IDs must be pure numbers only: \"4663\", \"4656\", \"5156\"\n- Put descriptive information in event_description field, NOT in event_id field\n\n# FINAL OUTPUT FORMAT\nAfter you've completed your investigation (including all tool usage), provide your final analysis as a JSON object:\n\n{\n \"overall_assessment\": \"NORMAL|SUSPICIOUS|ABNORMAL\",\n \"total_events_analyzed\": 0,\n \"analysis_summary\": \"Brief summary of your findings and key threats identified\",\n \"reasoning\": \"Your detailed analytical reasoning throughout the investigation\",\n \"abnormal_event_ids\": [\"4663\", \"4688\", \"5156\"],\n \"abnormal_events\": [\n {\n \"event_id\": \"NUMBERS_ONLY\",\n \"event_description\": \"What happened in this specific event\",\n \"why_abnormal\": \"Why this event is concerning or suspicious\",\n \"severity\": \"LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL\",\n \"indicators\": [\"specific indicators that made this stand out\"],\n \"potential_threat\": \"What type of threat this might represent\",\n \"attack_category\": \"reconnaissance|initial_access|execution|persistence|privilege_escalation|defense_evasion|credential_access|discovery|lateral_movement|collection|command_and_control|exfiltration|impact\",\n \"tool_enrichment\": {\n \"shodan_findings\": \"Include if you used shodan_lookup\",\n \"virustotal_findings\": \"Include if you used virustotal tools\",\n \"timeline_context\": \"Include if you used timeline_builder_with_logs\",\n \"decoded_command\": \"Include if you used decoder tool\",\n \"other_context\": \"Any other enriched context from tools\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n"

Baseline Activity:** Based on the sample, normal activity seems to include registry modifications by Cortana (`SearchUI.exe`), network connections by `dns.exe` and `svchost.exe`, and image loading by `sppsvc.exe`.\n\n**3. Deviations:** Several events stand out:\n\n* Registry modifications by Cortana: While not inherently malicious, excessive or unusual registry changes by system processes can sometimes indicate compromise.\n* Network connections by `dns.exe` and `svchost.exe`: These are normal system processes, but the specific IPs and ports should be investigated.\n* Token right adjustments (Event ID 4703): These events can be indicative of privilege escalation attempts.\n\n**4. Tool Usage:**\n\n* I will use `virustotal_lookup` to check the external IP address `64.4.48.201` seen in the network connection logs.\n* I will use `event_id_extractor_with_logs` to validate the Event IDs `12`, `13`, `5156`, `5158`, `4703`, and `7`.\n* I will use `timeline_builder_with_logs` to build a timeline around `svchost.exe` to see if there are any suspicious events before or after the network connection.\n\n**5. Analysis:** Let's start by validating the Event IDs.",

This could indicate privilege escalation attempts.\n\n4. **Tool Usage:** I will use the following tools to investigate further:\n\n * `virustotal_lookup` to check the external IP addresses seen in the network connection events.\n * `timeline_builder_with_logs` to build a timeline around the `svchost.exe` process to see the sequence of events related to the token right adjustments.\n\nI will start by checking the external IP addresses.",

YOUR TASK\nAnalyze the provided logs autonomously and produce a comprehensive security assessment:\n\n1. **Determine threat presence**: Are there signs of suspicious or malicious activity?\n2. **Identify abnormal events**: Which specific events are concerning and why?\n3. **Use tools strategically**: Call tools to gather context, validate findings, and enrich analysis\n4. **Assess severity**: Classify threats by their risk level\n5. **Map to attack patterns**: Connect findings to attack techniques/categories\n\n# ANALYSIS APPROACH\nThink step by step:\n\n1. What type of logs are these? (Windows Events, Network Traffic, Application logs, etc.)\n2. What represents normal baseline activity?\n3. What patterns or events deviate from normal?\n4. What tools would help validate or enrich these observations?\n5. After using tools, what is the complete threat picture?\n6. What is the appropriate severity and categorization?\n\n**Important**: For ANY Windows Event IDs you identify, use the event_id_extractor_with_logs tool to validate them before including in your final report.\n\n**Timeline Analysis**: When you identify suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files), consider using timeline_builder_with_logs to understand the sequence of events and identify coordinated attack patterns.\n\n**Encoded Commands**: If you see PowerShell commands with -enc, -encodedcommand, or -e flags, OR long suspicious strings, use the decoder tool to reveal what the command actually does. This is CRITICAL for understanding modern attacks.\n\n# CRITICAL EVENT ID HANDLING\n- You MUST use event_id_extractor_with_logs for EVERY Event ID\n- Use ONLY the exact numbers returned by the tool (e.g., \"4663\", not \"4663_winlogon\")\n- Event IDs must be pure numbers only: \"4663\", \"4656\", \"5156\"\n- Put descriptive information in event_description field, NOT in event_id field\n\n# FINAL OUTPUT FORMAT\nAfter you've completed your investigation (including all tool usage), provide your final analysis as a JSON object:\n\n{\n \"overall_assessment\": \"NORMAL|SUSPICIOUS|ABNORMAL\",\n \"total_events_analyzed\": 0,\n \"analysis_summary\": \"Brief summary of your findings and key threats identified\",\n \"reasoning\": \"Your detailed analytical reasoning throughout the investigation\",\n \"abnormal_event_ids\": [\"4663\", \"4688\", \"5156\"],\n \"abnormal_events\": [\n {\n \"event_id\": \"NUMBERS_ONLY\",\n \"event_description\": \"What happened in this specific event\",\n \"why_abnormal\": \"Why this event is concerning or suspicious\",\n \"severity\": \"LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL\",\n \"indicators\": [\"specific indicators that made this stand out\"],\n \"potential_threat\": \"What type of threat this might represent\",\n \"attack_category\": \"reconnaissance|initial_access|execution|persistence|privilege_escalation|defense_evasion|credential_access|discovery|lateral_movement|collection|command_and_control|exfiltration|impact\",\n \"tool_enrichment\": {\n \"shodan_findings\": \"Include if you used shodan_lookup\",\n \"virustotal_findings\": \"Include if you used virustotal tools\",\n \"timeline_context\": \"Include if you used timeline_builder_with_logs\",\n \"decoded_command\": \"Include if you used decoder tool\",\n \"other_context\": \"Any other enriched context from tools\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n"

Log Type:**\n\nThe logs appear to be Windows Event logs, specifically Sysmon and Security Auditing logs, based on the \"SourceName\" field (Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon, Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing) and the presence of Event IDs.\n\n**2. Baseline Activity:**\n\nBased on the sampled logs, normal activity seems to include:\n\n* Registry key creation and value setting by Cortana (SearchUI.exe)\n* Windows Filtering Platform events related to network connections by system processes like `dns.exe` and `svchost.exe`\n* Image loading events for system executables (`sppsvc.exe`, `ntdll.dll`)\n* Token right adjustments for system accounts\n\n**3. Deviations from Normal:**\n\nI'll start by looking for unusual processes, network connections, or registry modifications. The Cortana registry modifications seem noisy but probably normal. The network connections involving `dns.exe` and `svchost.exe` to external IPs warrant further investigation. The token right adjustments could be normal, but I'll keep an eye on them.\n\n**4. Tool Usage:**\n\nI'll start by examining the external IP address `64.4.48.201` using VirusTotal to see if it's associated with any known threats. Then, I'll examine the same IP using Shodan to get more context.",

While VirusTotal didn't find a match for Outflank-Dumpert.exe, the behavior warrants a 'SUSPICIOUS' assessment.",
453
- "agent_reasoning": "The presence of 'Outflank-Dumpert.exe' accessing lsass.exe (Event ID 4663) is a strong indicator of credential dumping, a common technique used by attackers to steal user credentials. The process exiting (Event ID 4689) immediately after the lsass access further strengthens this suspicion. Additionally, lsass.exe modifying registry keys related to W32Time (Event IDs 12 and 13) suggests an attempt to manipulate system time, which could be related to defense evasion or other malicious activities. The network connection (Event ID 5156) could be related to exfiltration or C2. Timeline analysis of Outflank-Dumpert.exe did not reveal any additional events.",

You think critically and independently to identify potential security threats in log data.\n\n# YOUR CAPABILITIES\n- Analyze complex log patterns to detect anomalies\n- Identify potential security incidents based on log evidence\n- Use specialized tools autonomously to enrich your investigation\n- Make informed decisions about when additional context is needed\n\n# AVAILABLE TOOLS\nYou have access to specialized cybersecurity tools. Use them whenever they would strengthen your analysis:\n\n- **shodan_lookup**: Check external IP addresses for hosting info, open ports, and reputation\n- **virustotal_lookup**: Check IPs, hashes, URLs, domains for malicious indicators\n- **virustotal_metadata_search**: Search by filename, command_line, parent_process when you don't have hashes\n- **fieldreducer**: Prioritize fields when logs have 10+ fields to focus on security-critical data\n- **event_id_extractor_with_logs**: Validate any Windows Event IDs before including them in your final analysis\n- **timeline_builder_with_logs**: Build temporal sequences around suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files) to understand attack progression and identify coordinated activities\n- **decoder**: Decode Base64 or hex-encoded strings in commands to reveal hidden malicious code (critical for PowerShell attacks)\n\nUse tools multiple times if needed. Each tool call helps build a complete picture.\n\n\n\n# LOG DATA TO ANALYZE\nTOTAL LINES: 118\nSAMPLED:\n{\"RemoteMachineID\":\"S-1-0-0\",\"LayerRTID\":\"48\",\"TimeCreated\":\"2020-10-18

YOUR TASK\nAnalyze the provided logs autonomously and produce a comprehensive security assessment:\n\n1. **Determine threat presence**: Are there signs of suspicious or malicious activity?\n2. **Identify abnormal events**: Which specific events are concerning and why?\n3. **Use tools strategically**: Call tools to gather context, validate findings, and enrich analysis\n4. **Assess severity**: Classify threats by their risk level\n5. **Map to attack patterns**: Connect findings to attack techniques/categories\n\n# ANALYSIS APPROACH\nThink step by step:\n\n1. What type of logs are these? (Windows Events, Network Traffic, Application logs, etc.)\n2. What represents normal baseline activity?\n3. What patterns or events deviate from normal?\n4. What tools would help validate or enrich these observations?\n5. After using tools, what is the complete threat picture?\n6. What is the appropriate severity and categorization?\n\n**Important**: For ANY Windows Event IDs you identify, use the event_id_extractor_with_logs tool to validate them before including in your final report.\n\n**Timeline Analysis**: When you identify suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files), consider using timeline_builder_with_logs to understand the sequence of events and identify coordinated attack patterns.\n\n**Encoded Commands**: If you see PowerShell commands with -enc, -encodedcommand, or -e flags, OR long suspicious strings, use the decoder tool to reveal what the command actually does. This is CRITICAL for understanding modern attacks.\n\n# CRITICAL EVENT ID HANDLING\n- You MUST use event_id_extractor_with_logs for EVERY Event ID\n- Use ONLY the exact numbers returned by the tool (e.g., \"4663\", not \"4663_winlogon\")\n- Event IDs must be pure numbers only: \"4663\", \"4656\", \"5156\"\n- Put descriptive information in event_description field, NOT in event_id field\n\n# FINAL OUTPUT FORMAT\nAfter you've completed your investigation (including all tool usage), provide your final analysis as a JSON object:\n\n{\n \"overall_assessment\": \"NORMAL|SUSPICIOUS|ABNORMAL\",\n \"total_events_analyzed\": 0,\n \"analysis_summary\": \"Brief summary of your findings and key threats identified\",\n \"reasoning\": \"Your detailed analytical reasoning throughout the investigation\",\n \"abnormal_event_ids\": [\"4663\", \"4688\", \"5156\"],\n \"abnormal_events\": [\n {\n \"event_id\": \"NUMBERS_ONLY\",\n \"event_description\": \"What happened in this specific event\",\n \"why_abnormal\": \"Why this event is concerning or suspicious\",\n \"severity\": \"LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL\",\n \"indicators\": [\"specific indicators that made this stand out\"],\n \"potential_threat\": \"What type of threat this might represent\",\n \"attack_category\": \"reconnaissance|initial_access|execution|persistence|privilege_escalation|defense_evasion|credential_access|discovery|lateral_movement|collection|command_and_control|exfiltration|impact\",\n \"tool_enrichment\": {\n \"shodan_findings\": \"Include if you used shodan_lookup\",\n \"virustotal_findings\": \"Include if you used virustotal tools\",\n \"timeline_context\": \"Include if you used timeline_builder_with_logs\",\n \"decoded_command\": \"Include if you used decoder tool\",\n \"other_context\": \"Any other enriched context from tools\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n"

- "content": "Okay, I'm ready to analyze these logs.\n\n**Step 1: Log Type and Initial Observations**\n\nThe logs appear to be a mix of Windows Security Auditing and Sysmon logs. I see events related to process execution, network connections, file access, and registry modifications. The presence of Sysmon logs is helpful for deeper process and system activity monitoring.\n\n**Step 2: Identifying Deviations from Baseline**\n\nI'll start by looking for potentially suspicious events:\n\n* **Event ID 4663**: An attempt was made to access an object, specifically `lsass.exe`. This is a critical process, and unauthorized access attempts should be investigated. The process `C:\\\\Users\\\\wardog\\\\Desktop\\\\Outflank-Dumpert.exe` is attempting to access `lsass.exe`. This is highly suspicious, as `lsass.exe` stores credentials, and this access could indicate a credential theft attempt.\n* **Event ID 4689**: A process has exited. The process `C:\\\\Users\\\\wardog\\\\Desktop\\\\Outflank-Dumpert.exe` exited. This event, in conjunction with the `lsass.exe` access, strengthens the suspicion.\n* **Network Connections**: There's a connection from `windowsazureguestagent.exe` to `168.63.129.16` on port 80. I need to investigate this IP address.\n* **Registry Modifications**: There are several registry modifications by `lsass.exe` related to `W32Time`.

I'll check the signature status of these DLLs.\n\n**Step 3: Tool-Based Enrichment**\n\nI will now use the tools to enrich my analysis:\n\n1. **Validate Event IDs**: I'll start by validating the Event IDs I've identified as potentially suspicious.\n2. **Investigate IP Address**: I'll use `shodan_lookup` to get information about the destination IP address `168.63.129.16`.\n3. **Investigate Outflank-Dumpert.exe**: I'll use `virustotal_lookup` to check if `Outflank-Dumpert.exe` is known to be malicious. Since I don't have the file hash, I'll use the filename with `virustotal_metadata_search`.\n4. **Timeline Analysis**: I'll use `timeline_builder_with_logs` to build a timeline around `Outflank-Dumpert.exe` to see the sequence of events.\n5. **Timeline Analysis**: I'll use `timeline_builder_with_logs` to build a timeline around `lsass.exe` to see the sequence of events.",

Now I'll proceed with a deeper analysis of the logs.\n\nThe logs contain several event types, including:\n\n* **Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) events (5156, 5158)**: These indicate network connections and port bindings.\n* **Process exit events (4689)**: These show when a process terminates.\n* **Object access events (4663, 4658)**: These indicate attempts to access objects like files or processes.\n* **Sysmon events (Event ID 7, 12, 13)**: These provide detailed information about process execution, image loading, and registry modifications.\n\nA few things stand out:\n\n1. **`Outflank-Dumpert.exe`**: This executable, located on the user's desktop, is involved in several events. Specifically, it's accessing `lsass.exe` (Event ID 4663), which is highly suspicious. `lsass.exe` is the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service, and unauthorized access to it is a common technique for credential dumping.\n2. **Network Connection to 168.63.129.16**: The `windowsazureguestagent.exe` is making an outbound connection to `168.63.129.16` on port 80. I should investigate this IP address.\n3. **Registry modifications by `lsass.exe`**: There are several registry modifications being made by `lsass.exe` related to `W32Time`. This could be related to time tampering.\n\nI'll start by investigating the external IP address `168.63.129.16` using the `shodan_lookup` tool. Then, I'll investigate the suspicious `Outflank-Dumpert.exe` file.",

However, there are also registry access events (4663, 4656, 4658) involving PowerShell (regsvr32.exe and powershell.exe) accessing .NETFramework registry keys AND the Winlogon key. This combination of network connections to metadata IPs and registry access by PowerShell, especially the Winlogon key, is suspicious and requires further investigation.

You think critically and independently to identify potential security threats in log data.\n\n# YOUR CAPABILITIES\n- Analyze complex log patterns to detect anomalies\n- Identify potential security incidents based on log evidence\n- Use specialized tools autonomously to enrich your investigation\n- Make informed decisions about when additional context is needed\n\n# AVAILABLE TOOLS\nYou have access to specialized cybersecurity tools. Use them whenever they would strengthen your analysis:\n\n- **shodan_lookup**: Check external IP addresses for hosting info, open ports, and reputation\n- **virustotal_lookup**: Check IPs, hashes, URLs, domains for malicious indicators\n- **virustotal_metadata_search**: Search by filename, command_line, parent_process when you don't have hashes\n- **fieldreducer**: Prioritize fields when logs have 10+ fields to focus on security-critical data\n- **event_id_extractor_with_logs**: Validate any Windows Event IDs before including them in your final analysis\n- **timeline_builder_with_logs**: Build temporal sequences around suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files) to understand attack progression and identify coordinated activities\n- **decoder**: Decode Base64 or hex-encoded strings in commands to reveal hidden malicious code (critical for PowerShell attacks)\n\nUse tools multiple times if needed. Each tool call helps build a complete picture.\n\n\n\n# LOG DATA TO ANALYZE\nTOTAL LINES:

YOUR TASK\nAnalyze the provided logs autonomously and produce a comprehensive security assessment:\n\n1. **Determine threat presence**: Are there signs of suspicious or malicious activity?\n2. **Identify abnormal events**: Which specific events are concerning and why?\n3. **Use tools strategically**: Call tools to gather context, validate findings, and enrich analysis\n4. **Assess severity**: Classify threats by their risk level\n5. **Map to attack patterns**: Connect findings to attack techniques/categories\n\n# ANALYSIS APPROACH\nThink step by step:\n\n1. What type of logs are these? (Windows Events, Network Traffic, Application logs, etc.)\n2. What represents normal baseline activity?\n3. What patterns or events deviate from normal?\n4. What tools would help validate or enrich these observations?\n5. After using tools, what is the complete threat picture?\n6. What is the appropriate severity and categorization?\n\n**Important**: For ANY Windows Event IDs you identify, use the event_id_extractor_with_logs tool to validate them before including in your final report.\n\n**Timeline Analysis**: When you identify suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files), consider using timeline_builder_with_logs to understand the sequence of events and identify coordinated attack patterns.\n\n**Encoded Commands**: If you see PowerShell commands with -enc, -encodedcommand, or -e flags, OR long suspicious strings, use the decoder tool to reveal what the command actually does. This is CRITICAL for understanding modern attacks.\n\n# CRITICAL EVENT ID HANDLING\n- You MUST use event_id_extractor_with_logs for EVERY Event ID\n- Use ONLY the exact numbers returned by the tool (e.g., \"4663\", not \"4663_winlogon\")\n- Event IDs must be pure numbers only: \"4663\", \"4656\", \"5156\"\n- Put descriptive information in event_description field, NOT in event_id field\n\n# FINAL OUTPUT FORMAT\nAfter you've completed your investigation (including all tool usage), provide your final analysis as a JSON object:\n\n{\n \"overall_assessment\": \"NORMAL|SUSPICIOUS|ABNORMAL\",\n \"total_events_analyzed\": 0,\n \"analysis_summary\": \"Brief summary of your findings and key threats identified\",\n \"reasoning\": \"Your detailed analytical reasoning throughout the investigation\",\n \"abnormal_event_ids\": [\"4663\", \"4688\", \"5156\"],\n \"abnormal_events\": [\n {\n \"event_id\": \"NUMBERS_ONLY\",\n \"event_description\": \"What happened in this specific event\",\n \"why_abnormal\": \"Why this event is concerning or suspicious\",\n \"severity\": \"LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL\",\n \"indicators\": [\"specific indicators that made this stand out\"],\n \"potential_threat\": \"What type of threat this might represent\",\n \"attack_category\": \"reconnaissance|initial_access|execution|persistence|privilege_escalation|defense_evasion|credential_access|discovery|lateral_movement|collection|command_and_control|exfiltration|impact\",\n \"tool_enrichment\": {\n \"shodan_findings\": \"Include if you used shodan_lookup\",\n \"virustotal_findings\": \"Include if you used virustotal tools\",\n \"timeline_context\": \"Include if you used timeline_builder_with_logs\",\n \"decoded_command\": \"Include if you used decoder tool\",\n \"other_context\": \"Any other enriched context from tools\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n"

- "content": "Okay, I'm ready to analyze the logs.\n\n**1. Log Type:** These appear to be Windows Event logs, specifically Security and Sysmon logs.\n\n**2. Baseline Activity:** Normal baseline activity would include standard process execution, network connections to known services, and routine registry access.\n\n**3. Deviations:** I see several events that deviate from the baseline:\n\n* **Event ID 5156:** Windows Filtering Platform permitting connections. This is normal, but the destination IPs `169.254.169.254` and `168.63.129.16` are worth investigating.\n* **Event ID 4663:** An attempt was made to access an object, specifically registry keys. The `regsvr32.exe` process accessing `\\\\REGISTRY\\\\MACHINE\\\\SOFTWARE\\\\Microsoft\\\\Windows NT\\\\CurrentVersion\\\\Winlogon` is suspicious.\n* **Event ID 7:** Image loaded. `conhost.exe` loading `bcryptprimitives.dll` and `advapi32.dll` are normal, but I'll keep an eye on this. PowerShell loading `rpcrt4.dll` is also normal.\n* **Event IDs 4656 and 4658:** Handle to an object was requested and closed, related to PowerShell accessing the registry key `\\\\REGISTRY\\\\MACHINE\\\\SOFTWARE\\\\Microsoft\\\\.NETFramework`. This could be related to reconnaissance or configuration changes.\n\n**4. Tool Usage:**\n\n* I will use `shodan_lookup` to investigate the destination IPs from the 5156 events.\n* I will use `virustotal_lookup` to check the `regsvr32.exe` process.\n* I will use `event_id_extractor_with_logs` to validate the Event IDs.\n* I will use `timeline_builder_with_logs` to investigate the PowerShell registry access.\n\n**5. Investigation:**\n\nFirst, I will validate the Event IDs.",

You think critically and independently to identify potential security threats in log data.\n\n# YOUR CAPABILITIES\n- Analyze complex log patterns to detect anomalies\n- Identify potential security incidents based on log evidence\n- Use specialized tools autonomously to enrich your investigation\n- Make informed decisions about when additional context is needed\n\n# AVAILABLE TOOLS\nYou have access to specialized cybersecurity tools. Use them whenever they would strengthen your analysis:\n\n- **shodan_lookup**: Check external IP addresses for hosting info, open ports, and reputation\n- **virustotal_lookup**: Check IPs, hashes, URLs, domains for malicious indicators\n- **virustotal_metadata_search**: Search by filename, command_line, parent_process when you don't have hashes\n- **fieldreducer**: Prioritize fields when logs have 10+ fields to focus on security-critical data\n- **event_id_extractor_with_logs**: Validate any Windows Event IDs before including them in your final analysis\n- **timeline_builder_with_logs**: Build temporal sequences around suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files) to understand attack progression and identify coordinated activities\n- **decoder**: Decode Base64 or hex-encoded strings in commands to reveal hidden malicious code (critical for PowerShell attacks)\n\nUse tools multiple times if needed. Each tool call helps build a complete picture.\n\n\n\n# LOG DATA TO ANALYZE\nTOTAL LINES: 68\nSAMPLED:\n{\"Message\":\"The audit log was cleared.\\r\\nSubject:\\r\\n\\tSecurity ID:\\tS-1-5-21-3940915590-64593676-1414006259-500\\r\\n\\tAccount Name:\\twardog\\r\\n\\tDomain Name:\\tWORKSTATION5\\r\\n\\tLogon ID:\\t0xC61D9\",\"EventID\":1102,\"SourceName\":\"Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog\",\"TimeCreated\":\"2020-10-21T11:28:08.823Z\",\"Hostname\":\"WORKSTATION5\",\"Task\":\"104\",\"Level\":\"4\",\"Keywords\":\"0x4020000000000000\",\"Channel\":\"Security\",\"ProviderGuid\":\"{fc65ddd8-d6ef-4962-83d5-6e5cfe9ce148}\",\"@timestamp\":\"2020-10-21T11:28:08.823Z\"}\n{\"@timestamp\":\"2020-10-21T11:28:11.220Z\",\"TimeCreated\":\"2020-10-21T11:28:11.220Z\",\"CommandLine\":\"reg query \\\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\Software\\\\Microsoft\\\\Internet Explorer\\\" /v svcVersion\",\"SubjectLogonId\":\"0xc61d9\",\"NewProcessId\":\"0x898\",\"SubjectDomainName\":\"WORKSTATION5\",\"ProviderGuid\":\"{54849625-5478-4994-a5ba-3e3b0328c30d}\",\"TargetLogonId\":\"0x0\",\"TokenElevationType\":\"%%1936\",\"SubjectUserSid\":\"S-1-5-21-3940915590-64593676-1414006259-500\",\"NewProcessName\":\"C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\reg.exe\",\"Level\":\"0\",\"Channel\":\"Security\",\"Task\":\"13312\",\"SourceName\":\"Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing\",\"Hostname\":\"WORKSTATION5\",\"TargetDomainName\":\"-\",\"ProcessId\":\"0x2844\",\"TargetUserName\":\"-\",\"ParentProcessName\":\"C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\cmd.exe\",\"TargetUserSid\":\"S-1-0-0\",\"EventID\":4688,\"Keywords\":\"0x8020000000000000\",\"SubjectUserName\":\"wardog\",\"MandatoryLabel\":\"S-1-16-12288\",\"Message\":\"A new process has been created.\\r\\n\\r\\nCreator Subject:\\r\\n\\tSecurity ID:\\t\\tS-1-5-21-3940915590-64593676-1414006259-500\\r\\n\\tAccount Name:\\t\\twardog\\r\\n\\tAccount Domain:\\t\\tWORKSTATION5\\r\\n\\tLogon ID:\\t\\t0xC61D9\\r\\n\\r\\nTarget Subject:\\r\\n\\tSecurity ID:\\t\\tS-1-0-0\\r\\n\\tAccount Name:\\t\\t-\\r\\n\\tAccount Domain:\\t\\t-\\r\\n\\tLogon ID:\\t\\t0x0\\r\\n\\r\\nProcess Information:\\r\\n\\tNew Process ID:\\t\\t0x898\\r\\n\\tNew Process Name:\\tC:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\reg.exe\\r\\n\\tToken Elevation Type:\\t%%1936\\r\\n\\tMandatory Label:\\t\\tS-1-16-12288\\r\\n\\tCreator Process ID:\\t0x2844\\r\\n\\tCreator Process Name:\\tC:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\cmd.exe\\r\\n\\tProcess Command Line:\\treg query \\\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\Software\\\\Microsoft\\\\Internet Explorer\\\" /v svcVersion\\r\\n\\r\\nToken Elevation Type indicates the type of token that was assigned to the new process in accordance with User Account Control policy.\\r\\n\\r\\nType 1 is a full token with no privileges removed or groups disabled.

YOUR TASK\nAnalyze the provided logs autonomously and produce a comprehensive security assessment:\n\n1. **Determine threat presence**: Are there signs of suspicious or malicious activity?\n2. **Identify abnormal events**: Which specific events are concerning and why?\n3. **Use tools strategically**: Call tools to gather context, validate findings, and enrich analysis\n4. **Assess severity**: Classify threats by their risk level\n5. **Map to attack patterns**: Connect findings to attack techniques/categories\n\n# ANALYSIS APPROACH\nThink step by step:\n\n1. What type of logs are these? (Windows Events, Network Traffic, Application logs, etc.)\n2. What represents normal baseline activity?\n3. What patterns or events deviate from normal?\n4. What tools would help validate or enrich these observations?\n5. After using tools, what is the complete threat picture?\n6. What is the appropriate severity and categorization?\n\n**Important**: For ANY Windows Event IDs you identify, use the event_id_extractor_with_logs tool to validate them before including in your final report.\n\n**Timeline Analysis**: When you identify suspicious entities (users, processes, IPs, files), consider using timeline_builder_with_logs to understand the sequence of events and identify coordinated attack patterns.\n\n**Encoded Commands**: If you see PowerShell commands with -enc, -encodedcommand, or -e flags, OR long suspicious strings, use the decoder tool to reveal what the command actually does. This is CRITICAL for understanding modern attacks.\n\n# CRITICAL EVENT ID HANDLING\n- You MUST use event_id_extractor_with_logs for EVERY Event ID\n- Use ONLY the exact numbers returned by the tool (e.g., \"4663\", not \"4663_winlogon\")\n- Event IDs must be pure numbers only: \"4663\", \"4656\", \"5156\"\n- Put descriptive information in event_description field, NOT in event_id field\n\n# FINAL OUTPUT FORMAT\nAfter you've completed your investigation (including all tool usage), provide your final analysis as a JSON object:\n\n{\n \"overall_assessment\": \"NORMAL|SUSPICIOUS|ABNORMAL\",\n \"total_events_analyzed\": 0,\n \"analysis_summary\": \"Brief summary of your findings and key threats identified\",\n \"reasoning\": \"Your detailed analytical reasoning throughout the investigation\",\n \"abnormal_event_ids\": [\"4663\", \"4688\", \"5156\"],\n \"abnormal_events\": [\n {\n \"event_id\": \"NUMBERS_ONLY\",\n \"event_description\": \"What happened in this specific event\",\n \"why_abnormal\": \"Why this event is concerning or suspicious\",\n \"severity\": \"LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL\",\n \"indicators\": [\"specific indicators that made this stand out\"],\n \"potential_threat\": \"What type of threat this might represent\",\n \"attack_category\": \"reconnaissance|initial_access|execution|persistence|privilege_escalation|defense_evasion|credential_access|discovery|lateral_movement|collection|command_and_control|exfiltration|impact\",\n \"tool_enrichment\": {\n \"shodan_findings\": \"Include if you used shodan_lookup\",\n \"virustotal_findings\": \"Include if you used virustotal tools\",\n \"timeline_context\": \"Include if you used timeline_builder_with_logs\",\n \"decoded_command\": \"Include if you used decoder tool\",\n \"other_context\": \"Any other enriched context from tools\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n"

The logs appear to be Windows Event logs and Sysmon logs, containing information about process creation, registry modifications, and other system events.\n\nNext, I'll look for anomalies and suspicious patterns. Some initial observations:\n\n* **Event ID 1102 and 104**: \"The audit log was cleared\" and \"The System log file was cleared.\" This is a major red flag, as clearing logs is a common tactic used by attackers to cover their tracks.\n* **Registry Queries**: There are events related to registry queries using `reg.exe`. While not inherently malicious, registry queries can be used for reconnaissance or to gather system information.\n* **Handle Duplication**: Event ID 4690 indicates an attempt to duplicate a handle to an object. This could be a sign of process injection or other malicious activity.\n* **RawAccessRead**: Event ID 9 from Sysmon indicates RawAccessRead detected. This could be a sign of malicious activity.\n* **PowerShell Access**: There are events showing Explorer.EXE accessing powershell.exe. This could be a sign of malicious activity.\n\nI'll start by investigating the log clearing events.",

Second, there are events (4656, 4663) indicating access to the LSA registry keys, which are critical for security. Third, there is network activity from the Azure guest agent to an external IP. The timeline analysis, pivoting on svchost.exe, shows a series of registry modifications and file creations, followed by wscript.exe and powershell.exe executions. This sequence suggests a potential attack chain. The presence of Event ID 4690 (handle duplication) further strengthens the suspicion of malicious activity.
