How to detect fail password on Splunk?
Hi @cedSplunk2023,
your question is just a little vague!
failed password on which opeating system (windows, Linux, etc...) or application or appliance?
Anyway to answer to this question you don't need a Splunk expert but of someone that knows the target environment.
e.g. to find the failed password on windows, you have to search for EventCode=4625, for Splunk, you have to search "ERROR AuthenticationManagerSplunk - Login failed".
In addition you need to know in which index data are stored, e.g. Splunk logs are in "_internal", winevenlogs are usualli in "wineventlog",
in conclusion to find the failed logins in windows, you have to search:
index=wineventlog EventCode=4625
to find the failed logins in Splunk, you have to search:
index=_internal "ERROR AuthenticationManagerSplunk - Login failed"
Remember that finding something in Splunk depends on the 70% on your knowledge of the target and 30% on your Splunk knowledge.
Ciao.
Giuseppe
