description: The following analytic identifies AppInstaller.exe which is a native
living off the land binary or script (LOLBAS) within the Windows operating system
that may be abused by adversaries by moving it to a new directory. The list of binaries
was derived from the https://lolbas-project.github.io site.

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you must be ingesting logs
with the process name, command-line arguments, and parent processes from your endpoints.
Collect endpoint data such as Sysmon or Windows Events 4688.
known_false_positives: False positives may be present and filtering may be required.
Certain utilities will run from non-standard paths based on the third-party application
in use.
