description: Detect activities and various techniques associated with the abuse of
`netsh.exe`, which can disable local firewall settings or set up a remote connection
to a host from an infected system.
narrative: 'It is a common practice for attackers of all types to leverage native
Windows tools and functionality to execute commands for malicious reasons. One such
tool on Windows OS is `netsh.exe`,a command-line scripting utility that allows you
to--either locally or remotely--display or modify the network configuration of a
computer that is currently running. `Netsh.exe` can be used to discover and disable
local firewall settings. It can also be used to set up a remote connection to a
host from an infected system.\
To get started, run the detection search to identify parent processes of `netsh.exe`.'
