description: The following analytic detects the use of the ICACLS command to grant
|
|
additional access permissions to files or directories. It leverages data from Endpoint
|
|
Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on specific process names and command-line
|
|
arguments. This activity is significant because it is commonly used by Advanced
|
|
Persistent Threats (APTs) and coinminer scripts to evade detection and maintain
|
|
control over compromised systems. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow
|
|
attackers to manipulate file permissions, potentially leading to unauthorized access,
|
|
data exfiltration, or further system compromise.

search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|

as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process_name IN( "icacls.exe",
|
|
"cacls.exe", "xcacls.exe") AND Processes.process IN ("*/grant*", "*/G*") by Processes.parent_process_name

|
|
how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
|
|
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
|
|
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
|
|
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
|
|
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
|
|
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
|
|
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
|
|
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
|
|
names and speed up the data modeling process.
|
|
known_false_positives: Unknown. Filter as needed.
