status: production

type: TTP
|
|
description: The following analytic detects the use of PowerShell to delete shadow
|
|
copies via the WMIC PowerShell module. It leverages EventCode 4104 and searches
|
|
for specific keywords like "ShadowCopy," "Delete," or "Remove" within the ScriptBlockText.
|
|
This activity is significant because deleting shadow copies is a common tactic used
|
|
by ransomware, such as DarkSide, to prevent data recovery. If confirmed malicious,
|
|
this action could lead to irreversible data loss and hinder recovery efforts, significantly
|
|
impacting business continuity and data integrity.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- Powershell Script Block Logging 4104
|
|
search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText= "*ShadowCopy*" (ScriptBlockText
|
|
= "*Delete*" OR ScriptBlockText = "*Remove*") | stats count min(_time) as firstTime
|
|
max(_time) as lastTime by Opcode Computer UserID EventCode ScriptBlockText |rename
|
|
Computer as dest |rename UserID as user | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` |
|
|
`security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `delete_shadowcopy_with_powershell_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
|
|
logs with the powershell logs from your endpoints. make sure you enable needed
|
|
registry to monitor this event.
