Daily "Network Port Sweep detected on port x" but no Source IP
There are some ideas in this query, to get you started
let lookback = 1h;
let threshold = 20;
_Im_NetworkSession(starttime=ago(lookback), endtime=now())
| where NetworkDirection =~ "Inbound"
| where ipv4_is_private(SrcIpAddr)==false
| distinct SrcIpAddr, DstIpAddr, DvcHostname, DstPortNumber
| extend country_=geo_info_from_ip_address(SrcIpAddr)

as you are using make-set with 100 you get 100 random values, lets say you have 200 results you maybe missing something in the 100 you are dropping
Clive_Watson Hi Clive,
With the line for not being a private IP we get what is expected, and only see hits against our external DNS.
let lookback = 8h;
let threshold = 20;
_Im_NetworkSession(starttime=ago(lookback), endtime=now())
| where NetworkDirection =~ "Inbound"
// | where ipv4_is_private(SrcIpAddr)==false
| distinct SrcIpAddr, DstIpAddr, DvcHostname, DstPortNumber
// | extend country_=geo_info_from_ip_address(SrcIpAddr)Commenting that out we get a load of scans. The two specific ports (135 and 445) are listed, and the query that Sentinel is flagging is only against the ones with ::ffff at the front.
Rule: Network Port Sweep from External Network (ASIM Network Session schema)
Description: This detection rule detects scenarios when a particular port is being scanned by multiple external sources. The rule utilize [ASIM](https://aka.ms/AboutASIM) normalization, and is applied to any source which supports the ASIM Network Session schema.
Theory, Sentinel is thinking these IPs are external because of the ::ffff in front of them. It only flags those. SO my question is why are the logged IPs having that in front of them?
- https://blog.ip2location.com/knowledge-base/ipv4-mapped-ipv6-address/ I agree Sentinel does seem to think they are something else, if you split it out to remove the prefix that may work?
let sourceIP ="::ffff.10.10.10.10";
print sourceIP = iif(sourceIP has "ffff",split(sourceIP,"f.")[1],sourceIP)- We also have issues with this stupid rule when Sentinel thinks ffff:pri.vate.add.ress is external. Is there any easy fix can be implemented for this?
Clive_Watson Hi, there’s no source IP. The query running is one built into Sentinel.
I shall try running your query. Thanks for the feedback.
Hey MarcusBoyce, just wondering if you were able to solve this? I have the same issue.
