+description: The following analytic detects programs that have been started by forfiles.exe.
+  According to Microsoft, the 'The forfiles command lets you run a command on or pass 
+  arguments to multiple files'. While this tool can be used to start legitimate programs,
+  usually within the context of a batch script, it has been observed being used to evade 
+  protections on command line execution.
+search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
+    as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.parent_process="*forfiles* /c *"  
+    by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id Processes.process_path
+  | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` 
+  | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
+  | `windows_indirect_command_execution_via_forfiles_filter`'
+how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
+  logs with the full process path in the process field of CIM's Process data model.
+  If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the Sysmon TA.
+  Tune and filter known instances where  forfiles.exe may be used.
+known_false_positives: Some legacy applications may be run using pcalua.exe.  
+  Similarly, forfiles.exe may be used in legitimate batch scripts.  Filter these results as needed.
