What does this example of a YARA rule represent?
A YARA rule is used for malware identification and classification, based on textual or binary patterns. The example provided suggests a rule that flags occurrences of a specific string (str1) at a precise location within a file. The 'offset' keyword in YARA rules specifies the exact byte position where the pattern (in this case, 'str1') should appear. Thus, the correct interpretation of the YARA rule example is that it flags instances where 'str1' appears 25 bytes into the file, indicating a very specific pattern match used for identifying potentially malicious files or activities that conform to this pattern.
After how much time will QRadar mark an Event offense dormant if no new events or flows occur?
QRadar will mark an Event offense as dormant if no new events or flows occur within 30 minutes. However, if QRadar did not process any events within 4 hours, this also triggers the offense to become dormant. Once dormant, the offense remains in this state for 5 days unless new events or flows are added.
Which parameters are used to calculate the magnitude rating of an offense?
The magnitude rating of an offense in IBM Security QRadar SIEM V7.5 is calculated based on three key parameters: severity, relevance, and credibility. Severity indicates the level of threat, relevance determines the offense's impact on the network, and credibility reflects the integrity of the offense as determined by the credibility rating configured in the log source. This combination of factors helps prioritize offenses and guide analysts on which ones to investigate first.
A QRadar analyst wants to limit the time period for which an AOL query is evaluated. Which functions and clauses could be used for this?
In QRadar, to limit the time period for which an AQL (Ariel Query Language) query is evaluated, the functions and clauses that can be used include START, STOP, LAST, NOW, and PARSEDATETIME. Specifically, the LAST function is used to define a relative time range for the query, such as 'LAST 2 DAYS'.
A QRadar analyst develops an advanced search on the Log Activity tab and presses the shortcut "Ctrl + Space" in the search field. What information is displayed?
The information displayed when pressing ''Ctrl + Space'' in the search field in the Log Activity tab in QRadar is not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, in general, this shortcut is often used in various software and platforms to display a list of available commands, functions, or properties. In the context of QRadar, it's likely that pressing ''Ctrl + Space'' in the search field would display a list of available AQL (Ariel Query Language) databases, functions, and fields (properties).
