description: This search is to detect a suspicious creation of msmpeng.exe or mpsvc.dll
|
|
in non default windows defender folder. This technique was seen couple days ago
|
|
with revil ransomware in Kaseya Supply chain. The approach is to drop an old version
|
|
of msmpeng.exe to load the actual payload name as mspvc.dll which will load the
|
|
revil ransomware to the compromise machine
|
|
search: '|tstats `security_content_summariesonly` values(Filesystem.file_path) as
|
|
file_path count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Filesystem
|
|
where (Filesystem.file_name = "msmpeng.exe" OR Filesystem.file_name = "mpsvc.dll") AND
|
|
Filesystem.file_path != "*\\Program Files\\windows defender\\*" by Filesystem.file_create_time
|
|
Filesystem.process_id Filesystem.file_name Filesystem.user | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
|
|
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `msmpeng_application_dll_side_loading_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
|
|
on process that include the name of the Filesystem responsible for the changes from
|
|
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Filesystem` node.
|
|
known_false_positives: quite minimal false positive expected.
