description: This analytic is to detect the execution of sdelete.exe application sysinternal
tools. This tool is one of the most use tool of malware and adversaries to remove
or clear their tracks and artifact in the targetted host. This tool is designed
to delete securely a file in file system that remove the forensic evidence on the
machine. A good TTP query to check why user execute this application which is not
a common practice.

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.
