Description
Identifies when a single Okta device token hash (dt_hash) is associated with multiple operating system types. This is highly anomalous because a device token is tied to a specific device and its operating system. This alert strongly indicates that an attacker has stolen a device token and is using it to impersonate a legitimate user from a different machine.
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.
Detection requirements
- Platform
- LinuxmacOSOffice SuiteSaaSWindows
The rule states no platform. This is derived from the ATT&CK technique it maps to.
- Log source category
- event_index
Known benign triggers
- Applications will tag the operating system as null when the device is not recognized as a managed device. In environments where users frequently switch between managed and unmanaged devices, this may lead to false positives.
