description: The vssadmin.exe utility is used to interact with the Volume Shadow Copy
Service. Wmic is an interface to the Windows Management Instrumentation. This
search looks for either of these tools being used to delete shadow copies.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
CommandLine: '*delete*'
Image|endswith:
- wmic.exe
- vssadmin.exe
selection2:
CommandLine: '*shadow*'
condition: selection1 and selection2
how_to_implement: You must be ingesting endpoint data that tracks process activity,
including parent-child relationships from your endpoints to populate the Endpoint
data model in the Processes node. The command-line arguments are mapped to the "process"
field in the Endpoint data model.
known_false_positives: vssadmin.exe and wmic.exe are standard applications shipped
with modern versions of windows. They may be used by administrators to legitimately
delete old backup copies, although this is typically rare.
