description: The following analytic identifies Windows commandline to reboot a windows
host machine. This technique was seen in several APT, RAT like dcrat and other commodity
malware to shutdown the machine to add more impact, interrupt access, aid destruction
of the system like wiping disk or inhibit system recovery. This TTP is a good pivot
to check why application trigger this commandline which is not so common way to
reboot a machine. Compare to shutdown and logoff shutdown.exe feature, reboot seen
in some automation script like ansible to reboot the machine.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
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 ("* /r*", "* -r*") Processes.process IN ("* /t*","* -t*","* /f*","* -f*")
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process Processes.process_name

| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `windows_system_reboot_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
or restart the host machine.
