description: The following analytic will detect a suspicious process running in a
file path where a process is not commonly seen and is most commonly used by malicious
software. This behavior has been used by adversaries where they drop and run an
exe in a path that is accessible without admin privileges.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
Processes.process_path.file_path: '*\\Users\\Administrator\\Music\\*'
selection2:
Processes.process_path:
- '*\\windows\\fonts\\*'
- '*\\windows\\temp\\*'
- '*\\users\\public\\*'
- '*\\windows\\debug\\*'
selection3:
Processes.process_path.file_path: '*\\Windows\\servicing\\*'
selection4:
Processes.process_path.file_path: '*\\Users\\Default\\*'
selection5:
Processes.process_path.file_path: '*Recycle.bin*'
selection6:
Processes.process_path: '*\\Windows\\Media\\*'
selection7:
Processes.process_path: \\Windows\\repair\\*
selection8:
Processes.process_path: '*\\temp\\*'
selection9:
Processes.process_path: '*\\PerfLogs\\*'
condition: selection1 or selection2 or selection3 or selection4 or selection5 or
selection6 or selection7 or selection8 or selection9
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node.
known_false_positives: Administrators may allow execution of specific binaries in
non-standard paths. Filter as needed.
