description: This query detects the Nishang Invoke-PowerShellTCPOneLine utility that
|
|
spawns a call back to a remote Command And Control server. This is a powershell
|
|
oneliner. In addition, this will capture on the command-line additional utilities
|
|
used by Nishang. Triage the endpoint and identify any parallel processes that look
|
|
suspicious. Review the reputation of the remote IP or domain contacted by the powershell
|
|
process.

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
|
|
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
|
|
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node. In addition,
|
|
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
|
|
endpoint product.
|
|
known_false_positives: Limited false positives may be present. Filter as needed based
|
|
on initial analysis.
