description: The following analtyic identifies the use of get-WebConfigurationProperty
and Set-ItemProperty attempting to disable HTTP logging on windows via PowerShell.
Adversaries may perform this action to disable HTTP logging to cover tracks and
delete logs on disk.
data_source:
- Powershell 4104
search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText IN("*get-WebConfigurationProperty*","*Set-ItemProperty*")
AND ScriptBlockText IN ("*httpLogging*","*Logfile.enabled*") AND ScriptBlockText
IN ("*dontLog*", "*false*") | stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as
lastTime by EventCode ScriptBlockText Computer user_id | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `windows_powershell_disable_http_logging_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this analytic, you will need to enable
PowerShell Script Block Logging on some or all endpoints. Additional setup here
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UBA/5.0.4.1/GetDataIn/AddPowerShell#Configure_module_logging_for_PowerShell.
known_false_positives: It is possible administrators or scripts may run these commands,
filtering may be required.
