DNS search for encoded data
Description: Use this Splunk search to find Base64 encoded content in DNS queries. The goal is to examine the DNS query field of the dns events to find subdomain streams that contain only Base64 valid characters. Utilizing DNS queries with encoded information is a known method to exfiltrate data. But you do not know if […]

List all your existing indexes or check if index exists
With this spl you can check what indexes exist or if you want to search for a specific index. List all indexes:
|
1 |
|rest /services/data/indexes | fields title | rename title AS index |
Or check if a specific index exist use:
|
1 |
|rest /services/data/indexes | fields title | rename title AS index | search index=yourindex |

Check your strftime is correct in the props.conf
A simple method on checking if your strftime (TIME_FORMAT=) in the props.conf matches your log file timestamp format. strftime(X,Y) This function takes a UNIX time value, X, as the first argument and renders the time as a string using the format specified by Y. The UNIX time must be in seconds. Use the first 10 […]
