description: The following analytic detects the execution of the Windows command line
|
|
to log off a host machine. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response
|
|
(EDR) agents, focusing on processes involving `shutdown.exe` with specific parameters.
|
|
This activity is significant as it is often associated with Advanced Persistent
|
|
Threats (APTs) and Remote Access Trojans (RATs) like dcrat, which use this technique
|
|
to disrupt operations, aid in system destruction, or inhibit recovery. If confirmed
|
|
malicious, this could lead to system downtime, data loss, or hindered incident response
|
|
efforts.

data_source:

|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` values(Processes.process) as process
|
|
min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
|
|
where (Processes.process_name = shutdown.exe OR Processes.original_file_name = shutdown.exe)
|
|
Processes.process="*shutdown*" Processes.process IN ("* /l*", "* -l*") Processes.process
|
|
IN ("* /t*","* -t*","* /f*","* -f*") by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process
|
|
Processes.process_name Processes.original_file_name Processes.process Processes.process_id
|
|
Processes.parent_process_id | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
|
|
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `windows_system_logoff_commandline_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
|
|
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
|
|
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
|
|
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
|
|
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
|
|
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
|
|
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
|
|
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
|
|
names and speed up the data modeling process.
|
|
known_false_positives: Administrator may execute this commandline to trigger shutdown,
|
|
logoff or restart the host machine.
