Password Spray🔗
The Password Spray Detector identifies an attempt to steal account credentials by attempting logins using common account names and frequently used passwords. The detector monitors login events from multiple sources (Windows Active Directory, Cloud Authentication, endpoint, and others) and creates an alert when there are a high number of login attempts using multiple usernames from a single IP address during a small time window.

- MITRE Enterprise ATT&CK - Credential Access - Password Spraying. For more information, see MITRE Technique T1110.003.
Detector Testing🔗
This detector does not have a supported testing method, though an Advanced Search will verify if alerts originated with this detector.
Note
If no supported testing method is available, an Advanced Search will show you if any alerts came from this detector if a qualifying event was observed. A search with no results does not indicate the detector is not working. A lack of search results for the detector may only indicate that the specific attack has not been observed in the tenant. However, it could indicate the underlying data is not available. Ensure the required schemas are provided in Data Sources along with the supported device type(s) for that schema.
