Guess first, no penalty. You want to hunt for one IP address trying many accounts. Which request gets a query you can check?
KQL (Kusto Query Language) is the query language of Microsoft Sentinel and other Microsoft security tools. A SIEM (a security information and event management system) collects logs in one place, and a hunting query searches them for signs of an attack. AI assistants now draft these queries from plain English. Microsoft's Security Copilot overview lists building KQL queries from natural language as a main use case.
A draft query fails quietly when the AI guesses. So give it what it would otherwise guess:
- Data: the table, such as SecurityEvent, and the fields you know.
- Pattern: what you're looking for, in one sentence.
- Time range: the last hour, the last 24 hours, a specific night.
- Show the working: ask it to explain each field and event ID it relies on. A wrong explanation is the easiest mistake to spot.
A worked example
A prompt (the message you send to the AI):
Write a KQL query for Microsoft Sentinel that finds one IP address
trying to sign in to many different accounts.
Data: SecurityEvent table (TimeGenerated, EventID, Account, IpAddress).
Time range: the last 24 hours.
Return: the query, what each event ID and field means, and one way
I can test it against a time when I know this happened.Completa los espacios
