Security Monitoring Recommendations

For 5031(F): The Windows Firewall Service blocked an application from accepting incoming connections on the network.

  • You can use this event to detect applications for which no Windows Firewall rules were created.

  • If you have a pre-defined application that should be used to perform the operation that was reported by this event, monitor events with “Application” not equal to your defined application.

  • You can monitor to see if “Application” isn't in a standard folder (for example, not in System32 or Program Files) or is in a restricted folder (for example, Temporary Internet Files).

  • If you have a pre-defined list of restricted substrings or words in application names (for example, “mimikatz” or “cain.exe”), check for these substrings in “Application.”
