description: The search looks for files created with names that have been linked to
malicious activity.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 11
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count values(Filesystem.action)
as action values(Filesystem.file_path) as file_path min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Filesystem by Filesystem.file_name Filesystem.dest
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `drop_dm_object_name(Filesystem)`
| `suspicious_writes` | `suspicious_file_write_filter`'
how_to_implement: You must be ingesting data that records the filesystem activity
from your hosts to populate the Endpoint file-system data model node. This is typically
populated via endpoint detection-and-response product, such as Carbon Black, or
via other endpoint data sources, such as Sysmon. The data used for this search is
typically generated via logs that report file system reads and writes. In addition,
this search leverages an included lookup file that contains the names of the files
to watch for, as well as a note to communicate why that file name is being monitored.
This lookup file can be edited to add or remove file the file names you want to
monitor.
known_false_positives: It's possible for a legitimate file to be created with the
same name as one noted in the lookup file. Filenames listed in the lookup file should
be unique enough that collisions are rare. Looking at the location of the file and
the process responsible for the activity can help determine whether or not the activity
is legitimate.
