description:
The following analytic detects the execution of the `Get-DomainComputer`
commandlet using PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This commandlet
is part of PowerView, a tool often used for enumerating domain computers within
Windows environments. The detection leverages script block text analysis to identify
this specific command. Monitoring this activity is crucial as it can indicate an
adversary's attempt to gather information about domain computers, which is a common
step in Active Directory reconnaissance. If confirmed malicious, this activity could
lead to further network enumeration and potential lateral movement within the domain.

'`powershell` EventCode=4104 (ScriptBlockText = "*Get-DomainComputer*") |
fillnull | stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by dest signature

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
