name: MS Scripting Process Loading Ldap Module

version: 1

author: Teoderick Contreras, Splunk
status: production
type: Anomaly
description: This search is to detect a suspicious MS scripting process such as wscript.exe
or cscript.exe that loading ldap module to process ldap query. This behavior was
seen in FIN7 implant where it uses javascript to execute ldap query to parse host
information that will send to its C2 server. this anomaly detections is a good initial
step to hunt further a suspicious ldap query or ldap related events to the host
that may give you good information regarding ldap or AD information processing or
might be a attacker.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 7
search: '`sysmon` EventCode =7 Image IN ("*\\wscript.exe", "*\\cscript.exe") ImageLoaded
IN ("*\\Wldap32.dll", "*\\adsldp.dll", "*\\adsldpc.dll") | stats min(_time) as firstTime
max(_time) as lastTime count by Image EventCode process_name ProcessId ProcessGuid
Computer ImageLoaded | rename Computer as dest | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `ms_scripting_process_loading_ldap_module_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the
Sysmon TA. Tune and filter known instances where renamed rundll32.exe may be used.
known_false_positives: automation scripting language may used by network operator
to do ldap query.
