description: This search looks for executions of cmd.exe spawned by a process that
is often abused by attackers and that does not typically launch cmd.exe. This is
a SPL2 implementation of the rule `Detect Prohibited Applications Spawning cmd.exe`
by @bpatel.

how_to_implement: You must be ingesting sysmon logs. This search has been modified
to process raw sysmon data from attack_range's nxlogs on DSP.
known_false_positives: There are circumstances where an application may legitimately
execute and interact with the Windows command-line interface. Investigate and modify
the lookup file, as appropriate.
