description: Detect remote thread creation into LSASS consistent with credential dumping.
search: '`sysmon` EventID=8 TargetImage=*lsass.exe | stats count min(_time) as firstTime
max(_time) as lastTime by Computer, EventCode, TargetImage, TargetProcessId | rename
Computer as dest | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `create_remote_thread_into_lsass_filter`'
how_to_implement: This search needs Sysmon Logs with a Sysmon configuration, which
includes EventCode 8 with lsass.exe. This search uses an input macro named `sysmon`.
We strongly recommend that you specify your environment-specific configurations
(index, source, sourcetype, etc.) for Windows Sysmon logs. Replace the macro definition
with configurations for your Splunk environment. The search also uses a post-filter
macro designed to filter out known false positives.
known_false_positives: Other tools can access LSASS for legitimate reasons and generate
an event. In these cases, tweaking the search may help eliminate noise.

message: A process has created a remote thread into $TargetImage$ on $dest$. This
behavior is indicative of credential dumping and should be investigated.
