description: Start-BitsTransfer is the PowerShell "version" of BitsAdmin.exe. Similar
|
|
functionality is present. This technique variation is not as commonly used by adversaries,
|
|
but has been abused in the past. Lesser known uses include the ability to set the
|
|
`-TransferType` to `Upload` for exfiltration of files. In an instance where `Upload`
|
|
is used, it is highly possible files will be archived. During triage, review parallel
|
|
processes and process lineage. Capture any files on disk and review. For the remote
|
|
domain or IP, what is the reputation?

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: Limited false positives. It is possible administrators will
|
|
utilize Start-BitsTransfer for administrative tasks, otherwise filter based parent
|
|
process or command-line arguments.
