Rule: title: Suspicious Machine Account Replication - DcSync Indicator id: 611eab06-a145-4dfa-a295-3ccc5c20f59a related: - id: 17d619c1-e020-4347-957e-1d1207455c93 type: similar status: test description: 'Detects suspicious Active Directory Replication Service (ADRS) requests originating from a machine account (SubjectUserName ending in ''$'') rather than a legitimate Domain Controller. Under normal operation, only Domain Controllers initiate replication requests carrying the DS-Replication-Get-Changes-All right. If a threat actor obtains valid machine account credentials — for example by abusing certificate-based authentication (PKINIT) to impersonate a DC after exploiting a CA vulnerability such as CVE-2026-54121 (Certighost), where a temporary machine account is created to request a DC certificate and then used to perform DCSync — they can dump all domain credential material including the krbtgt hash.
