description: 'The following analytic identifites the use of Mimikatz modules attempting to perform Pass-the-Ticket, Golden or Silver Kerberos ticket attacks and Skeleton Key attack. This behavior is typically performed within interactive Mimikatz memory space, however it may be identified on the command-line.
A Pass-the-Ticket (ptt) attack is performed once an adversary has established access to a single endpoint and retrieved the kerberos ticket to now begin moving laterally using this method. Typically, it blends in with logon activity as the ticket can be copied to another system and passed into the current session effectively simulating a logon without any communication with the Domain Controller.
A Golden or Silver ticket attack requires some setup by the adversary, but once performed it will simulate lateral based authentication to additional endpoints.'

description: 'The following analytic identifies commonly used PowerSploit modules that perform credential access, spoofing of authentication processes, user impersonation and attempting to manipulate tokens. Specifically, the following modules `Invoke-CredentialInjection`, `Invoke-TokenManipulation`, `Invoke-UserImpersonation`, `Get-System`, and `Invoke-RevertToSelf` were identfiied as modules used to access credentials.
PowerSploit is an archived project on GitHub, but much of its modules and scripts are still utilized today by adversaries. This behavior is typically performed within interactive PowerShell sessions or injected into processes, however it may be identified on the command-line.'

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint_Processess` datamodel.
known_false_positives: Administrators may modify the boot configuration.

description: 'The following analytic identifies the use of Windows Curl.exe uploading
a file to a remote destination. \
`-T` or `--upload-file` is used when a file is to be uploaded to a remotge destination.
\
`-d` or `--data` POST is the HTTP method that was invented to send data to a receiving
web application, and it is, for example, how most common HTML forms on the web work.
\
HTTP multipart formposts are done with `-F`, but this appears to not be compatible
with the Windows version of Curl. Will update if identified adversary tradecraft.
\
Adversaries may use one of the three methods based on the remote destination and
what they are attempting to upload (zip vs txt). During triage, review parallel
processes for further behavior. In addition, identify if the upload was successful
in network logs. If a file was uploaded, isolate the endpoint and review.'
