# T1102 - Web Service

## SOC Recommendation
Investigate Web Service activity in the context of Command and Control: confirm scope, affected host/identity, and whether it matches expected administrative behaviour before deciding this is benign.

## D3FEND Mappings
| D3FEND Technique | Relationship | Practical SOC Action |
|---|---|---|
| Relay Pattern Analysis | Detect | Monitor for Relay Pattern Analysis indicators relevant to this technique. |
| Outbound Traffic Filtering | Isolate | Apply Outbound Traffic Filtering to contain the blast radius once this technique is observed. |

## Investigation Steps
1. Review Defender for Endpoint / Defender XDR alerts and timeline for the affected host or identity.
2. Check Sentinel analytics rules and incidents correlated with this technique.
3. Review Entra ID sign-in and audit logs if the technique involves an identity or cloud resource.

## Evidence to Collect
- Host or resource affected
- Account or identity involved
- Timestamp of the activity
- Related process, file, or network artifact
- Any preceding or follow-on alerts

## Response Actions
| Action | Risk | Automation Safe | Approval Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contain the affected host or account | Medium | No | Yes |
| Collect and preserve evidence | Low | Yes | No |

## KQL
```kql
let eventsThreshold = 20;
CommonSecurityLog
| where isnotempty(RequestURL)
| project TimeGenerated, RequestURL, RequestMethod, SourceIP, SourceHostName
| evaluate sequence_detect(TimeGenerated, 5s, 8s, login=(RequestURL has "login.microsoftonline.com/consumers/oauth2/v2.0/token"), graph=(RequestURL has "graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/"), SourceIP, SourceHostName)
| summarize Events=count() by SourceIP, SourceHostName
| where Events >= eventsThreshold
```
```kql
let oneDriveCalls = dynamic(['graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root:/Documents/data.txt:/content','graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root:/Documents/response.json:/content']);
let oneDriveCallsRegex = dynamic([@'graph\.microsoft\.com\/v1\.0\/me\/drive\/root\:\/Uploaded\/.*\:\/content',@'graph\.microsoft\.com\/v1\.0\/me\/drive\/root\:\/Downloaded\/.*\:\/content']);
CommonSecurityLog
| where RequestURL has_any (oneDriveCalls) or RequestURL matches regex tostring(oneDriveCallsRegex[0]) or RequestURL matches regex tostring(oneDriveCallsRegex[1])
| project TimeGenerated, DeviceVendor, DeviceProduct, DeviceAction, DestinationDnsDomain, DestinationIP, RequestURL, SourceIP, SourceHostName, RequestClientApplication
```
```kql
CiscoSecureEndpoint
| where EventMessage has 'Possible webshell'
| extend HostCustomEntity = DstHostname, MalwareCustomEntity = ThreatName
```

## Escalation Criteria
- Web Service activity observed on a privileged account or critical system.
- Activity follows or precedes other suspicious behaviour in the same investigation.
- Automated triage cannot confidently rule out malicious intent.

## False Positive Considerations
- Legitimate administrative or maintenance activity matching this pattern.
- Approved security testing or red team exercise.
- Known benign software producing similar telemetry.
