DET0482 Behavior-chain detection for T1134.001 Access Token Manipulation: Token Impersonation/Theft on Windows
AN1324 Analytic 1324
Detection of token duplication and impersonation attempts by correlating suspicious command-line executions (e.g., runas) with API calls to DuplicateToken, DuplicateTokenEx, ImpersonateLoggedOnUser, or SetThreadToken. The chain includes the initial command execution or in-memory API invocation → token handle duplication or thread token assignment → a new or existing process assuming the impersonated user's context.
