description:
|
|
The following analytic detects the use of the Get-CimInstance cmdlet
|
|
with the -ComputerName parameter, indicating an attempt to retrieve information
|
|
from a remote computer. It leverages PowerShell Script Block Logging to identify
|
|
this specific command execution. This activity is significant as it may indicate
|
|
unauthorized remote access or information gathering by an attacker. If confirmed
|
|
malicious, this could allow the attacker to collect sensitive data from remote systems,
|
|
potentially leading to further exploitation or lateral movement within the network.

how_to_implement:
|
|
To successfully implement this analytic, you will need to enable
|
|
PowerShell Script Block Logging on some or all endpoints. Additional setup here

This is meant to be a low risk RBA anomaly analytic or to be
|
|
used for hunting. Enable this with a low risk score and let it generate risk in
|
|
the risk index.
