description: The following analytic detects the use of Windows Management Instrumentation
|
|
Command-line (WMIC) to retrieve information about running processes, specifically
|
|
targeting the command lines used to launch those processes. This detection leverages
|
|
data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on logs containing
|
|
process details and command-line executions. This activity is significant as it
|
|
may indicate suspicious behavior, such as a user or process gathering detailed process
|
|
information, which is uncommon for non-technical users. If confirmed malicious,
|
|
this could allow an attacker to gain insights into running processes, aiding in
|
|
further exploitation or lateral movement.

|
|
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.
