Description

This analytic looks for the execution of powershell.exe executing the Get-DomainPolicy commandlet used to obtain the password policy in a Windows domain. Red Teams and adversaries alike may use PowerShell to enumerate domain policies for situational awareness and Active Directory Discovery.

How To Implement

To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the Sysmon TA. Tune and filter known instances where renamed rundll32.exe may be used.

Required field

• _time
• Processes.dest
• Processes.user
• Processes.parent_process
• Processes.process_name
• Processes.process
• Processes.process_id
• Processes.parent_process_id
• Processes.parent_process_name

Kill Chain Phase

• Reconnaissance

Known False Positives
