description: The following analytic identifies renamed instances of `PsExec.exe` being
|
|
utilized on an endpoint. Most instances, it is highly probable to capture `Psexec.exe`
|
|
or other SysInternal utility usage with the command-line argument of `-accepteula`.
|
|
During triage, validate this is the legitimate version of `PsExec` by reviewing
|
|
the PE metadata. In addition, review parallel processes for further suspicious behavior.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon Event ID 1
|
|
search:
|
|
selection1:
|
|
OriginalFileName: psexec.c
|
|
Image|endswith:
|
|
- psexec64.exe
|
|
- psexec.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: Limited false positives should be present. It is possible some
|
|
third party applications may use older versions of PsExec, filter as needed.
