|
description: The following analytic identifies a modification in the Windows registry to enable proxy.
|
|
This method has been exploited by various malware and adversaries to establish proxy communication on compromised hosts,
|
|
facilitating connections to malicious Command and Control (C2) servers.
|
|
Identifying this anomaly serves as a crucial indicator to unveil suspicious processes attempting to activate the proxy
|
|
feature within the Windows operating system. Detecting such attempts becomes pivotal in flagging potential threats, especially
|
|
those aiming to leverage proxy configurations for unauthorized communication with malicious entities.
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Registry
|
|
where Registry.registry_path = "*\\Internet Settings\\ProxyEnable" Registry.registry_value_data = 0x00000001
|
|
by Registry.registry_path Registry.registry_value_name Registry.registry_value_data Registry.process_guid Registry.action Registry.user Registry.dest

|

|
|
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 `Registry` node. Also make sure
|
|
that this registry was included in your config files ex. sysmon config to be monitored.
|
|
known_false_positives: Administrators may enable or disable this feature that may
|
|
cause some false positive, however is not common. Filter as needed.
