type: Anomaly
datamodel: []
description: The following analytic identifies the usage of PowerShell Cmdlets - New-WebGlobalModule, Enable-WebGlobalModule and Set-WebGlobalModule being utilized to create (new), enable (start) or modify a current IIS Module.
These commands are equivalent to AppCmd.exe parameters.
Adversaries may utilize these cmdlets as they are lesser known and perform the same activity as AppCmd.
search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText IN("*New-WebGlobalModule*","*Enable-WebGlobalModule*","*Set-WebGlobalModule*")
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by EventCode ScriptBlockText Computer user_id
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `windows_powershell_iis_components_webglobalmodule_usage_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this analytic, you will need to enable
PowerShell Script Block Logging on some or all endpoints. Additional setup here
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UBA/5.0.4.1/GetDataIn/AddPowerShell#Configure_module_logging_for_PowerShell.
known_false_positives: It is possible administrators or scripts may run these commands, filtering may be required.
