|
|
description: The following analytic detects the execution of the `Get-AdUser` PowerShell
|
|
cmdlet, which is used to enumerate all domain users. It leverages PowerShell Script
|
|
Block Logging (EventCode=4104) to identify instances where this command is executed
|
|
with a filter. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt by adversaries
|
|
or Red Teams to gather information about domain users for situational awareness
|
|
and Active Directory discovery. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead
|
|
to further reconnaissance and potential exploitation of user accounts within the
|
|
domain.

data_source:
|
|
- Powershell Script Block Logging 4104
|
|
search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText = "*get-aduser*" ScriptBlockText
|
|
= "*-filter*" | stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by EventCode
|
|
ScriptBlockText Computer UserID | rename Computer as dest, UserID as user| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
|
|
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `get_aduser_with_powershell_script_block_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: The following Hunting analytic requires PowerShell operational logs
|
|
to be imported. Modify the powershell macro as needed to match the sourcetype or
|
|
add index. This analytic is specific to 4104, or PowerShell Script Block Logging.
|
|
known_false_positives: Administrators or power users may use this command for troubleshooting.
