description: The following analytic identifies the use of PowerShell downloading a
file using `DownloadFile` method. This particular method is utilized in many different
PowerShell frameworks to download files and output to disk. Identify the source
(IP/domain) and destination file and triage appropriately. If AMSI logging or PowerShell
transaction logs are available, review for further details of the implant.
data_source:
- Windows Security 4688
search:
selection1:
process.file.name:
- powershell_ise.exe
- powershell.exe
- sqltoolsps.exe
- sqlps.exe
- pwsh.exe
- pwsh.exe
selection2:
process.cmd_line|re: downloadfile
condition: selection1 and selection2
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 may be present and filtering will need to occur
by parent process or command line argument. It may be required to modify this query
to an EDR product for more granular coverage.
