description: The following analytic identifies the use of Microsoft Remote Assistance,
msra.exe, spawning PowerShell.exe or cmd.exe as a child process. Msra.exe by default
has no command-line arguments and typically spawns itself. It will generate a network
connection to the remote system that is connected. This behavior is indicative of
another process injected into msra.exe. Review the parent process or cross process
events to identify source.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
ParentImage: msra.exe
condition: selection1
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node. In addition,
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
endpoint product.
known_false_positives: False positives should be limited, filter as needed. Add additional
shells as needed.
