# Detecting Anomalous Authentication Patterns

## When to Use

- Security operations needs to identify compromised accounts from authentication log analysis
- Implementing impossible travel detection to flag geographically inconsistent logins
- Detecting brute force, password spraying, and credential stuffing attacks in real time
- Building behavioral baselines for users to identify deviations indicating account compromise
- Correlating authentication anomalies with threat intelligence for lateral movement detection
- Investigating alerts from SIEM or IdP for suspicious sign-in activity

**Do not use** for static rule-based alerting on single failed logins; anomaly detection requires statistical baselines across time and entity dimensions to reduce false positives.

## Prerequisites

- Authentication log sources (Azure AD/Entra ID sign-in logs, Okta system logs, Active Directory event logs 4624/4625/4648/4768/4771)
- SIEM platform (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic SIEM) with at least 90 days of baseline data
- GeoIP database for location-based anomaly detection (MaxMind GeoLite2 or IP2Location)
- Python 3.9+ with pandas, scikit-learn, and scipy for custom analytics
- User identity context (department, role, typical work hours, location)

## Workflow

### Step 1: Collect and Normalize Authentication Logs

Aggregate authentication events from all identity sources:

```python
import pandas as pd
import json
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from collections import defaultdict

# Parse authentication logs from multiple sources
def normalize_auth_logs(log_source, raw_logs):
    """Normalize authentication events to a common schema."""
    normalized = []

    for event in raw_logs:
        if log_source == "azure_ad":
            normalized.append({

                },
                "result": "success" if event["outcome"]["result"] == "SUCCESS" else "failure",
                "failure_reason": event["outcome"].get("reason", ""),

                "browser": event["client"].get("userAgent", {}).get("browser", "Unknown"),
                "source": "okta"
            })
        elif log_source == "windows_ad":
            normalized.append({
                "timestamp": event["TimeCreated"],
                "user": event["TargetUserName"],

    return pd.DataFrame(normalized)

### Step 2: Detect Impossible Travel Anomalies

Identify logins from geographically impossible locations:

```python
from math import radians, sin, cos, sqrt, atan2
from datetime import datetime

def haversine_distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2):
    """Calculate great-circle distance between two points in km."""
    R = 6371  # Earth's radius in kilometers

    lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2 = map(radians, [lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2])
    dlat = lat2 - lat1
    dlon = lon2 - lon1

    a = sin(dlat/2)**2 + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin(dlon/2)**2
    c = 2 * atan2(sqrt(a), sqrt(1-a))

    return R * c

def detect_impossible_travel(df, max_speed_kmh=900):

    # Sort by user and timestamp
    df_sorted = df.sort_values(["user", "timestamp"])

    for user, user_events in df_sorted.groupby("user"):
        successful_events = user_events[user_events["result"] == "success"]

        for i in range(1, len(successful_events)):
            prev = successful_events.iloc[i-1]

            # Calculate distance and time delta
            distance_km = haversine_distance(
                prev["location"]["lat"], prev["location"]["lon"],
                curr["location"]["lat"], curr["location"]["lon"]
            )

            time_diff = (pd.Timestamp(curr["timestamp"]) -
                        pd.Timestamp(prev["timestamp"])).total_seconds() / 3600

    return alerts

### Step 3: Detect Brute Force and Password Spraying

Identify credential attack patterns across authentication logs:

```python

        random_state=42,
        n_jobs=-1
    )
    features_df["anomaly_score"] = model.fit_predict(X)
    features_df["anomaly_probability"] = model.score_samples(X)

    # Extract anomalies (labeled as -1)
    anomalies = features_df[features_df["anomaly_score"] == -1]

    return anomalies.sort_values("anomaly_probability")
```

### Step 5: Implement SIEM Detection Rules

Deploy detection rules for common authentication attack patterns:

```yaml
# Splunk SPL queries for authentication anomaly detection

# 1. Brute Force Detection
# name: Authentication Brute Force - Multiple Failed Logins
# severity: high
brute_force_spl: |
  index=auth sourcetype IN ("azure:aad:signin", "okta:im:log", "WinEventLog:Security")
  (result="failure" OR EventCode=4625)
  | bin _time span=10m
  | stats count as failed_attempts dc(src_ip) as unique_ips
    values(src_ip) as source_ips
    latest(_time) as last_attempt
    by user _time
  | where failed_attempts >= 10
  | eval alert_type=if(unique_ips > 3, "Distributed Brute Force", "Standard Brute Force")

# 2. Password Spray Detection
# name: Password Spray Attack - Multiple Users Same Source
# severity: critical
password_spray_spl: |
  index=auth sourcetype IN ("azure:aad:signin", "okta:im:log")
  result="failure"
  | bin _time span=30m
  | stats dc(user) as targeted_users count as total_attempts
    values(user) as users_targeted
    by src_ip _time
  | where targeted_users >= 10
  | eval attempts_per_user = round(total_attempts / targeted_users, 1)
  | where attempts_per_user <= 3
  | eval severity=if(targeted_users > 50, "CRITICAL", "HIGH")

# 3. Impossible Travel Detection
# name: Impossible Travel - Geographically Inconsistent Logins
# severity: high
impossible_travel_spl: |
  index=auth result="success"
  | iplocation src_ip
  | sort user _time
  | streamstats current=f last(lat) as prev_lat last(lon) as prev_lon
    last(_time) as prev_time last(City) as prev_city last(Country) as prev_country
    by user
  | where isnotnull(prev_lat) AND isnotnull(lat)
  | eval distance_km = 6371 * 2 * asin(sqrt(
      pow(sin((lat - prev_lat) * pi() / 360), 2) +
      cos(prev_lat * pi() / 180) * cos(lat * pi() / 180) *
      pow(sin((lon - prev_lon) * pi() / 360), 2)))
  | eval time_hours = (_time - prev_time) / 3600
  | eval required_speed = distance_km / time_hours
  | where required_speed > 900 AND distance_km > 100

# 4. Credential Stuffing Detection
# name: Credential Stuffing - High Volume Failed Logins with Some Successes
# severity: critical
credential_stuffing_spl: |
  index=auth
  | bin _time span=1h
  | stats count(eval(result="failure")) as failures
    count(eval(result="success")) as successes
    dc(user) as unique_users
    dc(src_ip) as unique_ips
    by src_ip _time
  | where failures > 100 AND successes > 0 AND unique_users > 20
  | eval success_rate = round(successes / (failures + successes) * 100, 2)
  | where success_rate < 5
```

### Step 6: Correlate and Score Authentication Anomalies

Combine multiple detection signals into risk scores:

```python
def calculate_auth_risk_score(user, alerts, baseline):
    """
    Calculate composite risk score for authentication events.
    Combines multiple anomaly signals with weighted scoring.
    """
    score = 0
    risk_factors = []

    weights = {
        "IMPOSSIBLE_TRAVEL": 40,
        "PASSWORD_SPRAY": 35,
        "BRUTE_FORCE": 30,
        "CREDENTIAL_STUFFING": 35,
        "NEW_COUNTRY": 25,
        "OFF_HOURS_LOGIN": 15,
        "NEW_SOURCE_IP": 10,
        "NEW_DEVICE": 10,
        "NEW_APPLICATION": 5,
        "WEEKEND_LOGIN": 5,
        "MFA_BYPASS": 45,
        "LEGACY_PROTOCOL": 20
    }

    for alert in alerts:
        alert_type = alert.get("type") or alert.get("alert_type")
        weight = weights.get(alert_type, 10)

        # Adjust weight based on severity
        severity_multiplier = {
            "CRITICAL": 2.0,
            "HIGH": 1.5,
            "MEDIUM": 1.0,
            "LOW": 0.5
        }
        severity = alert.get("severity", "MEDIUM")
        adjusted_weight = weight * severity_multiplier.get(severity, 1.0)

        score += adjusted_weight
        risk_factors.append({
            "factor": alert_type,
            "weight": adjusted_weight,
            "detail": alert.get("detail", alert.get("details", ""))
        })

    # Normalize score to 0-100
    normalized_score = min(100, score)

    # Determine risk level
    if normalized_score >= 80:
        risk_level = "CRITICAL"
        recommended_action = "Immediate account suspension and investigation"
    elif normalized_score >= 60:
        risk_level = "HIGH"
        recommended_action = "Force MFA re-enrollment and notify SOC"
    elif normalized_score >= 40:
        risk_level = "MEDIUM"
        recommended_action = "Require step-up authentication"
    elif normalized_score >= 20:
        risk_level = "LOW"
        recommended_action = "Monitor and log for trend analysis"
    else:
        risk_level = "INFORMATIONAL"
        recommended_action = "No action required"

    return {
        "user": user,
        "risk_score": normalized_score,
        "risk_level": risk_level,
        "recommended_action": recommended_action,
        "risk_factors": sorted(risk_factors, key=lambda x: x["weight"], reverse=True),
        "timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat()
    }
```

## Key Concepts

| Term | Definition |
|------|------------|
| **Impossible Travel** | Authentication anomaly where a user logs in from two geographically distant locations within a timeframe that makes physical travel impossible |
| **Password Spraying** | Credential attack that tries a small number of commonly used passwords against many accounts to avoid lockout thresholds |
| **Credential Stuffing** | Automated attack using stolen username/password pairs from data breaches to gain unauthorized access to accounts |
| **UEBA** | User and Entity Behavior Analytics technology that builds behavioral baselines and detects deviations using machine learning and statistical analysis |
| **Behavioral Baseline** | Statistical profile of a user's normal authentication patterns including typical hours, locations, devices, and applications |
| **Isolation Forest** | Unsupervised machine learning algorithm that detects anomalies by isolating observations that differ from the majority of data points |
| **Risk Score** | Composite numerical value aggregating multiple anomaly signals with weighted scoring to prioritize authentication threats |

## Tools & Systems

- **Microsoft Sentinel UEBA**: Cloud-native SIEM with built-in entity behavior analytics for Azure AD and multi-cloud authentication anomaly detection
- **Exabeam Advanced Analytics**: UEBA platform using machine learning for user session analysis and automated threat timeline construction
- **Splunk UBA**: Behavioral analytics add-on for Splunk providing pre-built authentication anomaly models and risk scoring
- **Elastic SIEM ML Jobs**: Machine learning anomaly detection jobs for authentication log analysis in the Elastic Stack

## Common Scenarios

### Scenario: Detecting Compromised Executive Account After Password Spray

**Context**: SOC observes a spike in failed authentication attempts from a cloud VPS IP address targeting 200+ accounts. Two hours later, an executive account shows successful authentication from the same IP range followed by mailbox rule creation and data exfiltration.

**Approach**:
1. Run password spray detection across the timeframe to identify all targeted accounts
2. Cross-reference targeted accounts with subsequent successful logins from related IP ranges
3. Build behavioral baseline for the executive account and flag all deviations
4. Check for impossible travel between the executive's last legitimate login and the attacker's session
5. Identify post-compromise activity: mailbox rules, file downloads, delegated access changes
6. Calculate composite risk score combining password spray, new IP, off-hours login, and new device signals
7. Trigger automated response: force session termination, disable account, notify manager

**Pitfalls**:
- Relying on single-signal detection (failed logins only) misses successful spray results
- Not correlating across identity providers when users have accounts in multiple IdPs
- Static thresholds that do not account for legitimate VPN IP changes or travel
- Ignoring successful authentications after the spray window closes (attackers may wait before using credentials)
