name: Anomalous usage of 7zip

status: production
type: Anomaly
description: The following detection identifies a 7z.exe spawned from `Rundll32.exe`
or `Dllhost.exe`. It is assumed that the adversary has brought in `7z.exe` and `7z.dll`.
It has been observed where an adversary will rename `7z.exe`. Additional coverage
may be required to identify the behavior of renamed instances of `7z.exe`. During
triage, identify the source of injection into `Rundll32.exe` or `Dllhost.exe`. Capture
any files written to disk and analyze as needed. Review parallel processes for additional
behaviors. Typically, archiving files will result in exfiltration.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
Image|endswith: '7z.exe'
ParentImage:
- rundll32.exe
- dllhost.exe
condition: selection1
how_to_implement: 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.
known_false_positives: False positives should be limited as this behavior is not normal
for `rundll32.exe` or `dllhost.exe` to spawn and run 7zip.

message: An instance of $parent_process_name$ spawning $process_name$ was identified
on endpoint $dest$ by user $user$. This behavior is indicative of suspicious loading
of 7zip.
