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.
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count values(Processes.process)
|
|
as process min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
|
|

|
|

|
|
how_to_implement: You must be ingesting data that records process activity from your
|
|
hosts and populates the Endpoint data model with the resultant dataset. This search
|
|
includes a lookup file, `prohibited_apps_launching_cmd.csv`, that contains a list
|
|
of processes that should not be spawning cmd.exe. You can modify this lookup to
|
|
better suit your environment. 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: 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.
