description: The following analytic detects the execution of the chcp.exe application,
|
|
which is used to change the active code page of the console. This detection leverages
|
|
data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process creation
|
|
events where chcp.exe is executed by cmd.exe with specific command-line arguments.
|
|
This activity is significant because it can indicate the presence of malware, such
|
|
as IcedID, which uses this technique to determine the locale region, language, or
|
|
country of the compromised host. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to further
|
|
system compromise and data exfiltration.

search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)

|
|
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.
