|
|
description: The following analytic identifies a suspicious wermgr.exe parent process
|
|
having a child process not related to error, fault or windows werfault event. This
|
|
technique was seen in Qakbot malware where it inject its malicious code in wermgr
|
|
to evade detections and hide from the analyst to execute its recon and its malicious
|
|
behavior. This Anomaly detection can be a good pivot to start investigating a possible
|
|
qakbot infection in the network. The Wermgr.exe process is not known to have other
|
|
child processes aside from itself or werfault.exe

search:
|
|
selection1:
|
|
ParentImage: wermgr.exe
|
|
condition: selection1
|
|
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.
