Macros

The SPL above uses the following Macros:

• security_content_ctime
• security_content_summariesonly

ℹ️ conti_common_exec_parameter_filter is a empty macro by default. It allows the user to filter out any results (false positives) without editing the SPL.

Required field

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

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.

Known False Positives

3rd party tool may have commandline parameter that can trigger this detection.

Associated Analytic story

• Ransomware

RBA

Risk Score	Impact	Confidence	Message
64.0	80	80	An instance of parent_process_name spawning process_name was identified on endpoint dest by user user executing specific Conti Ransomware related parameters.

ℹ️ The Risk Score is calculated by the following formula: Risk Score = (Impact * Confidence/100). Initial Confidence and Impact is set by the analytic author.
