description: This analytic looks for the presence of suspicious commandline parameters
typically present when using Impacket tools. Impacket is a collection of python
classes meant to be used with Microsoft network protocols. There are multiple scripts
that leverage impacket libraries like `wmiexec.py`, `smbexec.py`, `dcomexec.py`
and `atexec.py` used to execute commands on remote endpoints. By default, these
scripts leverage administrative shares and hardcoded parameters that can be used
as a signature to detect its use. Red Teams and adversaries alike may leverage Impackets
tools for lateral movement and remote code execution.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where (Processes.process = "*/c* \\\\127.0.0.1\\*"
OR Processes.process= "*/c* 2>&1") by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name
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)`
| `impacket_lateral_movement_commandline_parameters_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
endpoints.
known_false_positives: Although uncommon, Administrators may leverage Impackets tools
to start a process on remote systems for system administration or automation use
cases.
