description: The following query identifies Microsoft Background Intelligent Transfer
|
|
Service utility `bitsadmin.exe` using the `transfer` parameter to download a remote
|
|
object. In addition, look for `download` or `upload` on the command-line, the switches
|
|
are not required to perform a transfer. Capture any files downloaded. Review the
|
|
reputation of the IP or domain used. Typically once executed, a follow on command
|
|
will be used to execute the dropped file. Note that the network connection or file
|
|
modification events related will not spawn or create from `bitsadmin.exe`, but the
|
|
artifacts will appear in a parallel process of `svchost.exe` with a command-line
|
|
similar to `svchost.exe -k netsvcs -s BITS`. It's important to review all parallel
|
|
and child processes to capture any behaviors and artifacts. In some suspicious and
|
|
malicious instances, BITS jobs will be created. You can use `bitsadmin /list /verbose`
|
|
to list out the jobs during investigation.

|
|
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, however it may be required to filter
|
|
based on parent process name or network connection.
