LogonTracer - Investigate Malicious Windows Logon By Visualizing And Analyzing Windows Event Log


Investigate malicious logon by visualizing and analyzing Windows active directory event logs.

Concept
LogonTracer associates a host name (or an IP address) and account name found in logon-related events and displays it as a graph. This way, it is possible to see in which account login attempt occurs and which host is used.
This tool can visualize the following event id related to Windows logon based on this research.
  • 4624: Successful logon
  • 4625: Logon failure
  • 4768: Kerberos Authentication (TGT Request)
  • 4769: Kerberos Service Ticket (ST Request)
  • 4776: NTLM Authentication
  • 4672: Assign special privileges
More details are described in the following documents:
