name: Anomalous usage of 7zip
id: 9364ee8e-a39a-11eb-8f1d-acde48001122
version: 1

author: Michael Haag, Teoderick Contreras, Splunk
type: Anomaly
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: The following detection identifies a 7z.exe spawned from `Rundll32.exe`
or `Dllhost.exe`. It is assumed that the adversary has brought in `7z.exe` and `7z.dll`.
It has been observed where an adversary will rename `7z.exe`. Additional coverage
may be required to identify the behavior of renamed instances of `7z.exe`. During
triage, identify the source of injection into `Rundll32.exe` or `Dllhost.exe`. Capture
any files written to disk and analyze as needed. Review parallel processes for additional
behaviors. Typically, archiving files will result in exfiltration.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.parent_process_name
IN ("rundll32.exe", "dllhost.exe") Processes.process_name=*7z* by Processes.dest
Processes.user Processes.parent_process Processes.process_name Processes.process
Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`| `anomalous_usage_of_7zip_filter`'
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.
known_false_positives: False positives should be limited as this behavior is not normal
for `rundll32.exe` or `dllhost.exe` to spawn and run 7zip.
