Google Full Network Traffic Packet Capture

Identifies potential full network packet capture in gcp. This feature can potentially be abused to read sensitive data from unencrypted internal traffic.

Detection logic

Detection requirements

Platform: ESXi IaaS Linux macOS Windows
The rule states no platform. This is derived from the ATT&CK technique it maps to.
Log source product: gcp
Log source service: gcp_audit

Known benign triggers

Full Network Packet Capture may be done by a system or network administrator.
If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.

Links the source published beside this detection. Reference is the link the source wrote, unmodified. Class is decided by this catalogue from the host and path, not stated by the source. Cited by counts published detections citing the same resource, including this one, and the sources beneath it count the repositories this catalogue ingests, which is not the same as independent research.
