Description

Identifies AWS CloudTrail events where an EC2 route table or association has been modified or deleted. Route table or association modifications can be used by attackers to disrupt network traffic, reroute communications, or maintain persistence in a compromised environment. This is a New Terms rule that detects the first instance of this behavior by a user or role.

Detection logic

Its licence does not clear it for publishing here

Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.

IaaS

The rule states no platform. This is derived from the ATT&CK technique it maps to.

Known benign triggers

  • Route Tables could be modified or deleted by a system administrator. Verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment. Route Tables being modified from unfamiliar users should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule. Also automated processes that use Terraform may lead to false positives.
