description: The following query identifies Microsoft Background Intelligent Transfer
Service utility `bitsadmin.exe` scheduling a BITS job to persist on an endpoint.
The query identifies the parameters used to create, resume or add a file to a BITS
job. Typically seen combined in a oneliner or ran in sequence. If identified, review
the BITS job created and capture any files written to disk. It is possible for BITS
to be used to upload files and this may require further network data analysis to
identify. You can use `bitsadmin /list /verbose` to list out the jobs during investigation.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
OriginalFileName: bitsadmin.exe
selection2:
Image|endswith: bitsadmin.exe
selection3:
CommandLine: []
condition: (selection1 or selection2) and selection3
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. In addition,
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
endpoint product.
known_false_positives: Limited false positives will be present. Typically, applications
will use `BitsAdmin.exe`. Any filtering should be done based on command-line arguments
(legitimate applications) or parent process.
