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.

search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|
|
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where `process_bitsadmin` Processes.process
|
|
IN (*create*, *addfile*, *setnotifyflags*, *setnotifycmdline*, *setminretrydelay*,
|
|
*setcustomheaders*, *resume* ) by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.original_file_name

|
|
how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
|
|
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
|
|
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
|
|
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
|
|
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
|
|
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
|
|
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
|
|
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
|
|
names and speed up the data modeling process.
|
|
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.
