Analyzing DNS Logs for Exfiltration
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- SOC teams suspect data exfiltration through DNS tunneling to bypass firewall/proxy controls
- Threat intelligence indicates adversaries using DNS-based C2 channels (e.g., Cobalt Strike DNS beacon)
- UEBA detects anomalous DNS query volumes from specific hosts
- Malware analysis reveals DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) or DNS tunneling capabilities
Do not use for standard DNS troubleshooting or availability monitoring — this skill focuses on security-relevant DNS abuse detection.
