Description

in https:/SigmaHQ/sigma/blob/master/rules/windows/builtin/security/win_security_kerberoasting_activity.yml#L28

contains this condition:
condition: selection and not 1 of filter_main_*

but in the detection just created on filter_main_...

this:

    filter_main_:
        ServiceName|endswith:
            - 'krbtgt' # Ignore requests for the krbtgt service
            - '$' # Ignore requests from service names that end with $ which are associated with genuine kerberos traffic
        TargetUserName|contains: '$@' # Ignore requests from machines

Based on our experiens with the logs I think so, the TargetUserName and ServiceName filtering are in or relation and not in and relation.

So may be need to modify the rule like this:
this:

    filter_main_servicename:
        ServiceName|endswith:
            - 'krbtgt' # Ignore requests for the krbtgt service
            - '$' # Ignore requests from service names that end with $ which are associated with genuine kerberos traffic
    filter_main_targetusername:        
        TargetUserName|contains: '$@' # Ignore requests from machines

It's clear to me what's going on with the rule. But i won't say no to logs for historical reasons. So if you have them please share.
