using the "scrobj.dll" dll to load .sct scriptlets. This technique is still widely used

by adversaries to bypass detection and prevention controls.

Triage\
|
||||
Validate execution \
|
||||
1. Determine if regsvr32.exe executed. Validate the OriginalFileName of regsvr32.exe and further
|
||||
PE metadata. If executed outside of c:\windows\system32 or c:\windows\syswow64, it should be highly suspect.\
|
||||
|
||||
1. Determine if script code was executed with regsvr32.\
|
||||
|
||||
Situational Awareness\
|
||||
The objective of this step is meant to identify suspicious behavioral indicators related to executed of
|
||||
Script code by regsvr32.exe.\
|
||||
|
||||
1. Parent process. Is the parent process a known LOLBin? Is the parent process an Office Application?\
|
||||
|
||||
1. Module loads. Is regsvr32 loading any suspicious .DLLs? Unsigned or signed from non-standard paths.\
|
||||
|
||||
1. Network connections. Any network connections? Review the reputation of the remote IP or domain.\
|
||||
|
||||
Retrieval of Script Code\
|
||||
The objective of this step is to confirm the executed script code is benign or malicious.'
