description: This search looks for events where `PsExec.exe` is run with the `accepteula`
|
|
flag in the command line. PsExec is a built-in Windows utility that enables you
|
|
to execute processes on other systems. It is fully interactive for console applications.
|
|
This tool is widely used for launching interactive command prompts on remote systems.
|
|
Threat actors leverage this extensively for executing code on compromised systems.
|
|
If an attacker is running PsExec for the first time, they will be prompted to accept
|
|
the end-user license agreement (EULA), which can be passed as the argument `accepteula`
|
|
within the command line.

how_to_implement: You must be ingesting data that records process activity from your
|
|
hosts to populate the Endpoint data model in the Processes node. You must also be
|
|
ingesting logs with both the process name and command line from your endpoints.
|
|
The command-line arguments are mapped to the "process" field in the Endpoint data
|
|
model.

known_false_positives: Administrators can leverage PsExec for accessing remote systems
|
|
and might pass `accepteula` as an argument if they are running this tool for the
|
|
first time. However, it is not likely that you'd see multiple occurrences of this
|
|
event on a machine
