description:
|
|
The following analytic detects the execution of the `Get-DomainController`
|
|
commandlet using PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This commandlet
|
|
is part of PowerView, a tool often used for domain enumeration. The detection leverages
|
|
script block text to identify this specific activity. Monitoring this behavior is
|
|
crucial as it may indicate an adversary or Red Team performing reconnaissance to
|
|
map out domain controllers. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to
|
|
further domain enumeration, potentially exposing sensitive information and aiding
|
|
in lateral movement within the network.

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
