description: The following analytic detects an explorer.exe with a possible url link process command line on it.
Explorer.exe is known windows process that handle start menu, taskbar ,desktop and file manager.
So many threat actor abuses this process like DCRat malware, where it tries to open the url link with the default process browser application
in the target host by putting the url link as a parameter on explorer.exe process. This anomaly detection might be a good pivot to check
which user and how this process was executed, what is the parent process and what is the url link. This technique is not so common way to open an url link.
