description: This analytic will identify a suspicious PowerShell command used to delete
|
|
the Windows Defender folder. This technique was seen used by the WhisperGate malware
|
|
campaign where it used Nirsofts advancedrun.exe to gain administrative privileges
|
|
to then execute a PowerShell command to delete the Windows Defender folder. This
|
|
is a good indicator the offending process is trying corrupt a Windows Defender installation.

data_source:
|
|
- Powershell 4104

search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText = "*rmdir *" AND ScriptBlockText
|
|
= "*\\Microsoft\\Windows Defender*" | stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|

as lastTime by Opcode Computer UserID EventCode ScriptBlockText | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
|
|

|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this analytic, you will need to enable
