name: Powershell Processing Stream Of Data

description: The following analytic identifies suspicious PowerShell script execution
via EventCode 4104 that is processing compressed stream data. This is typically
found in obfuscated PowerShell or PowerShell executing embedded .NET or binary files
that are stream flattened and will be deflated durnig execution. During triage,
review parallel processes within the same timeframe. Review the full script block
to identify other related artifacts.
data_source:
- Powershell 4104
search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText = "*IO.Compression.*" OR ScriptBlockText
= "*IO.StreamReader*" OR ScriptBlockText = "*]::Decompress*" | stats count min(_time)
as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by EventCode ScriptBlockText Computer UserID
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `powershell_processing_stream_of_data_filter`'
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
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UBA/5.0.4.1/GetDataIn/AddPowerShell#Configure_module_logging_for_PowerShell.
known_false_positives: powershell may used this function to process compressed data.
