Mars turns threat intel into validated detection logic in your SIEM’s native query language. In minutes. You review it and ship it.
A real advisory, walked through the pipeline. From published intel to a validated detection in your SIEM.
High-severity (CVSS 8.7) memory overflow in NetScaler ADC & Gateway SAML SP/IdP configs. Active exploitation confirmed; added to CISA KEV catalog.
TTPs pulled from threat intel as it’s published.
Memory overflow triggered via crafted SAML assertions targeting NetScaler ADC / Gateway SP & IdP endpoints. Indicator: anomalous crashes of the authentication daemon following oversized SAML requests.
Detection logic written in your SIEM’s native query language.
A query watches NetScaler auth-daemon crash events correlated with oversized SAML request payloads to the /saml/login endpoint, scoped to internet-facing VIPs.

Replay of the published PoC payload confirms the crash signature fires. Benign SAML traffic sampled to tune false positives. Shipped with MITRE ATT&CK mapping: T1499 (Endpoint DoS).
Hunts are built from real attacker campaigns, not alert patterns. Connects by API to the tools you already run. No data ingestion.
