Splunk SPLK-5001 Exam - Topic 5 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-5001 exam

Question #: 3
Topic #: 5

A threat hunter generates a report containing the list of users who have logged in to a particular database during the last 6 months, along with the number of times they have each authenticated. They sort this list and remove any user names who have logged in more than 6 times. The remaining names represent the users who rarely log in, as their activity is more suspicious. The hunter examines each of these rare logins in detail.

This is an example of what type of threat-hunting technique?

ALeast Frequency of Occurrence Analysis

BCo-Occurrence Analysis

CTime Series Analysis

DOutlier Frequency Analysis

Co-Occurrence Analysis seems off for this scenario.

Surprised they didn't look at the context of those logins!

Not so sure about that, could it be Outlier Frequency Analysis instead?

Time Series Analysis doesn't seem right either; this is more about the frequency of logins rather than tracking changes over time.

Co-Occurrence Analysis sounds familiar, but I don't think it applies to this scenario since we're looking at individual logins.

I remember practicing a question about identifying rare behaviors, so Outlier Frequency Analysis could also fit here.

Alright, I've got an idea. The threat hunter is focusing on the users who have logged in less frequently, so I'm guessing this is some kind of outlier analysis technique. Let me double-check the options.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Are we looking for the technique that the threat hunter used, or the type of threat they were trying to detect? I want to make sure I understand the question properly.

Okay, let's see. The key seems to be identifying the users who have logged in rarely, as their activity is more suspicious. I think I've got this.

This seems straightforward. The threat hunter is looking for users with low login frequency, which is a type of Least Frequency of Occurrence Analysis. I'm confident that's the right answer.

I'm a bit confused by the options here. I'll need to review my notes on wireless networking modes to figure out the right combination. Gotta make sure I don't overthink this.
