You are investigating an alert for a process that connected to the following suspicious domain: reallysuspiciousdomain[.]com. Which of the Investigate dashboards would provide a list of processes that looked up the specified domain?
The Bulk domains (often listed as Bulk Domain Investigate ) dashboard is a specialized tool within the Falcon platform designed for broad infrastructure pivoting. While a standard search might show you a single event, the Bulk Domain Investigate tool allows an analyst to enter one or more domain names to receive a comprehensive, global overview of all activity associated with those domains across the entire managed environment.
When an analyst inputs a suspicious domain into this dashboard, Falcon retrieves a list of every host that has attempted to resolve that domain and, crucially, the specific processes responsible for those DNS lookups or network connections. This provides the hunter with immediate visibility into the "Who" and the "How." For example, it might reveal that while the domain was initially seen on one host, it was actually looked up by powershell.exe on three other hosts that had not yet triggered an alert. This capability is essential for Hunting Methodology , as it allows for the rapid identification of a shared command-and-control (C2) infrastructure. By identifying all processes interacting with the domain, the hunter can determine if the threat is an isolated incident or part of a wider campaign, enabling them to transition quickly from identification to large-scale containment and remediation.
