behavioral-detections

behavioral-detections is a skill for Claude Code from willwebster5/agent-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,886 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security detection add-on for CrowdStrike NG-SIEM that uses its correlate() function to connect multiple events. It covers attack patterns across AWS, Entra ID, and CrowdStrike data sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building behavioral rules for attack chains, such as failed logins followed by successful access, and other multi-stage threats.
Why use it?
Rules that inspect only one event can miss attacks spread across several steps and systems. Correlation brings those steps together within a time window.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

behavioral-detections scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Behavioral Detection Engineering

Design and implement behavioral detection rules that identify attack patterns across multiple events using CrowdStrike NG-SIEM's correlate() function.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Design attack chain detections (recon → escalation → persistence)
  • Build behavioral rules that span multiple events over time
  • Create compound detections from multiple rule triggers
  • Correlate events across different data sources (AWS + EntraID + CrowdStrike)
  • Detect multi-stage attacks that single-event rules would miss

Quick Start: Your First Behavioral Rule

// Detect failed logins followed by successful access
correlate(
  FailedLogins: {
    event.outcome="failure"
    event.action=/UserLogon|Sign-in/
  },
  SuccessfulLogin: {
    event.outcome="success"
    event.action=/UserLogon|Sign-in/
    | user.email <=> FailedLogins.user.email
  },
  sequence=true,
  within=30m,
  globalConstraints=[user.email]
)
| table([SuccessfulLogin.user.email, FailedLogins.source.ip])

Core Concepts

Behavioral vs Correlation Rules

Type Function Use Case
Correlation Rule Single-event threshold "Alert on 50+ failed logins"
Behavioral Rule Multi-event pattern via correlate() "Alert on failed logins FOLLOWED BY success"

correlate() Key Components

  1. Named Queries: Each event pattern has a unique name

    QueryName: { filter_expression }
    
  2. Link Operator <=>: Correlates fields between queries

    | user.email <=> OtherQuery.user.email
    
  3. Sequence: Enforce chronological order

    sequence=true  // Events must occur in order
    
  4. Time Window: Constrain event timing

    within=1h  // All events within 1 hour
    
  5. Global Constraints: Fields all events must share

    globalConstraints=[user.email, cloud.account.id]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

behavioral-detections is a skill published in the GitHub repository willwebster5/agent-skills (12 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,886 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
