name: Disable Schedule Task
id: db596056-3019-11ec-a9ff-acde48001122
version: 1
date: '2021-10-18'
author: Teoderick Contreras, Splunk
type: TTP
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: This analytic is to detect a suspicious commandline to disable existing
schedule task. This technique is used by adversaries or commodity malware like IceID
to disable security application (AV products) in the targetted host to evade detections.
This TTP is a good pivot to check further why and what other process run before
and after this detection. check which process execute the commandline and what task
is disabled. parent child process is quite valuable in this scenario too.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime
max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process_name="schtasks.exe"
Processes.process=*/change* Processes.process=*/disable* by Processes.user Processes.process_name
Processes.process Processes.parent_process_name Processes.parent_process Processes.dest
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `disable_schedule_task_filter`'
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.
