+description: 'Uncover activity related to the execution of Zerologon CVE-2020-11472, a technique wherein
+  attackers target a Microsoft Windows Domain Controller to reset its computer account password. The result from this attack
+  is attackers can now provide themselves high privileges and take over Domain Controller. The included searches in this Analytic Story
+  are designed to identify attempts to reset Domain Controller Computer Account via exploit code remotely or via the use of tool Mimikatz
+  as payload carrier.'
+narrative: 'This attack is a privilege escalation technique, where attacker targets a Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller,
+  using Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC).
+  This vulnerability exposes vulnerable Windows Domain Controllers to be targeted via unaunthenticated RPC calls which eventually
+  reset Domain Contoller computer account ($) providing the attacker the opportunity to exfil domain controller credential secrets and
+  assign themselve high privileges that can lead to domain controller and potentially complete network takeover.
+  The detection searches in this Analytic Story use Windows Event viewer events and Sysmon events to detect attack execution, these
+  searches monitor access to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process which is an indicator of the use of Mimikatz
+  tool which has bee updated to carry this attack payload.'
