Welcome to this learning module on forced authentication with remote icons. In this module, we will go over the nuances of this attack and the challenges it poses for detection. We will also operationalize a hunt for malicious files by leveraging open-source tools. We will close with a demonstration of a lesser-known remote icon attack.
The goal of this module is to:
1. Give you exposure to an attack that is often overlooked.
2. Introduce forced authentication generally.
3. Show the process of turning a hunt into a detection.
4. Inspire you to overcome similar challenges in your own environment.
The events in your SIEM can be found in the following timespan: 21 Mar 2023 - 22 Mar 2023.
Use the `logs-*` index.](https://assets.aceresponder.com/meta/763c838e-d316-4637-8e81-af748f13cdb4.png)
