description: This search looks for shim database files being written to default directories.
|
|
The sdbinst.exe application is used to install shim database files (.sdb). According
|
|
to Microsoft, a shim is a small library that transparently intercepts an API, changes
|
|
the parameters passed, handles the operation itself, or redirects the operation
|
|
elsewhere.
|
|
how_to_implement: You must be ingesting data that records the filesystem activity
|
|
from your hosts to populate the Endpoint file-system data model node. If you are
|
|
using Sysmon, you will need a Splunk Universal Forwarder on each endpoint from which
|
|
you want to collect data.

|
known_false_positives: Because legitimate shim files are created and used all the
|
|
time, this event, in itself, is not suspicious. However, if there are other correlating
|
|
events, it may warrant further investigation.
