description: 'The following analytic detects the creation of the comadmin.dat file
|
|
in the %windows%\system32\Com directory, which is associated with Snake Malware.
|
|
This detection leverages the Endpoint.Filesystem data model to identify file creation
|
|
events matching the specified path and filename. This activity is significant because
|
|
the comadmin.dat file is part of Snake Malware''s installation process, which includes
|
|
dropping a kernel driver and a custom DLL. If confirmed malicious, this activity
|
|
could allow an attacker to load a malicious driver, potentially leading to privilege
|
|
escalation and persistent access to the compromised system.'
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|
|
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Filesystem where Filesystem.file_path="*\\windows\\system32\\com\\*"
|
|
AND Filesystem.file_name="comadmin.dat" by Filesystem.file_create_time Filesystem.process_id Filesystem.file_name

|
|
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `windows_snake_malware_kernel_driver_comadmin_filter`'
|
|
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 `Filesystem` 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, filter as needed.
