+description: Malicious actors often abuse misconfigured LDAP servers or applications that use the LDAP servers in organizations. 
+Outbound LDAP traffic should not be allowed outbound through your perimeter firewall. 
+This search will help determine if you have any LDAP connections to IP addresses outside of private (RFC1918) address space.
+search: '| from read_ssa_enriched_events() | eval timestamp=parse_long(ucast(map_get(input_event,
+  "_time"), "string", null)), cmd_line=lower(ucast(map_get(input_event, "process"),
+  "string", null)), process_name=lower(ucast(map_get(input_event, "process_name"),
+  "string", null)), process_path=ucast(map_get(input_event, "process_path"), "string",
+  null), parent_process_name=ucast(map_get(input_event, "parent_process_name"), "string",
+  null), event_id=ucast(map_get(input_event, "event_id"), "string", null) | where
+  cmd_line IS NOT NULL AND process_name IS NOT NULL | where process_name="pwsh.exe"
+  OR process_name="pwsh.exe" OR process_name="sqlps.exe" OR process_name="sqltoolsps.exe"
+  OR process_name="powershell.exe" OR process_name="powershell_ise.exe" | where (like
+  (cmd_line, "%downloadfile%")) | eval start_time=timestamp, end_time=timestamp, entities=mvappend(ucast(map_get(input_event,
+  "dest_user_id"), "string", null), ucast(map_get(input_event, "dest_device_id"),
+  "string", null)), body=create_map(["event_id", event_id, "cmd_line", cmd_line, "process_name",
+  process_name, "parent_process_name", parent_process_name, "process_path", process_path])
+  | into write_ssa_detected_events();'
+how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
+  on network traffic, specifically data that populates the Network_Traffic datamodel. 
+  To develop this analytic we used specifically Zeek/Bro conn.log and PAN Traffic events.
+known_false_positives: Unknown at this moment. Outbound LDAP traffic should not be allowed outbound through your perimeter firewall. 
+Please check those servers to verify if the activity is legitimate.
