name: Detect RClone Command-Line Usage

type: TTP
description: This analytic identifies commonly used command-line arguments used by
`rclone.exe` to initiate a file transfer. Some arguments were negated as they are
specific to the configuration used by adversaries. In particular, an adversary may
list the files or directories of the remote file share using `ls` or `lsd`, which
is not indicative of malicious behavior. During triage, at this stage of a ransomware
event, exfiltration is about to occur or has already. Isolate the endpoint and continue
investigating by review file modifications and parallel processes.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
Image|endswith: rclone.exe
selection2:
OriginalFileName: rclone.exe
selection3:
CommandLine:
- '*copy*'
- '*mega*'
- '*pcloud*'
- '*ftp*'
- '*--config*'
- '*--progress*'
- '*--no-check-certificate*'
- '*--ignore-existing*'
- '*--auto-confirm*'
- '*--transfers*'
- '*--multi-thread-streams*'
condition: (selection1 or selection2) and selection3
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: False positives should be limited as this is restricted to
the Rclone process name. Filter or tune the analytic as needed.
