Offensive SIEM

Practical techniques for leveraging SIEM as an offensive discovery tool, helping defenders think like attackers to strengthen security from within.

Queries

See above - queries.md file.

Will keep getting updated when needed. The idea is to have layer on layer coverage using different event.codes/event.providers.

  • Released queries for environmental PATHS, Kernel Drivers and Logon/Startup scripts etc during february 2026!
  • Released queries for OpenSSL libraries and Schedule task / Services with missing binary paths during mars 2026!

Vulnerability Management

Queries for Vulnerability Management in file: vulnerabilitymanagement.md

Gives you an idea how you can enumerate

  • Windows OS version and build status
  • Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) Rules and find misconfigurations
  • Windows Defender exclusions and find misconfigurations
  • Windows Applocker rules and find misconfigurations

Ping us if/when you find something

We hope that you liked the presentation. Ping us if you (i would say when you) find vulnerabilities by using this method. A simple message like "one of your queries cathed good stuff".. is more then enough :) do it by commiting to the ping.md file or contact us in alternative ways! We would be happy to share your success!

General information

The repo will assist you in having offensive mindset. Repo is to share the material and queries that we talked about in our presentation:

Offensive SIEM - When The Blue Team Switches Perspective

SEC-T september 2025 ⭐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nfL_4ek4dY

x33fcon updated talk june 2026 covering some new areas ⭐ https://youtu.be/dD_7AdEoj0k?is=CMp22Q9evBcqZe7L

We have included the most interesting ACL related parts and have tips & tricks.

Check out the outstanding webinars about windows local privilege escalation and windows endpoint misconfigurations which will assist you further on. There are more areas to look into.. This is only the starting point. If you build good queries in other areas - please share it with us so more in the community can use them.

The queries with ⭐ mark is extra highly relevant. The topics down below with ⭐ is really good content.
