datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: The following analytic identifies a default behavior of a MetaSploit payload. MetaSploit uses Apache Benchmark to generate payloads. The payloads contain standard artifacts including "Apache Benchmark" and the original file name is always ab.exe.
During triage, review the process and it's path. It is possible network connections spawned from it. Review parallel processes for further behaviors.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.original_file_name=ab.exe
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name Processes.original_file_name
Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `windows_apache_benchmark_binary_filter`'
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. In addition, confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the endpoint product.
known_false_positives: False positives should be limited as there is a small subset of binaries that contain the original file name of ab.exe. Filter as needed.
