description: The following analytic detects the execution of `powershell.exe` with
|
|
the `Get-AdComputer` commandlet, which is used to discover remote systems within
|
|
a domain. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
|
|
agents, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant
|
|
because it indicates potential reconnaissance efforts by adversaries to map out
|
|
domain computers, which is a common step in the attack lifecycle. If confirmed malicious,
|
|
this behavior could allow attackers to gain situational awareness and plan further
|
|
attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data exfiltration.

|
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.
