description: This search is to detect a suspicious MS office application that drops
or creates executables or scripts in a Windows Operating System. This behavior is
commonly seen in spear phishing office attachment where it drop malicious files
or script to compromised the host. It might be some normal macro may drop script
or tools as part of automation but still this behavior is reallly suspicious and
not commonly seen in normal office application

- Sysmon Event ID 1

Image|endswith:
- winword.exe
- excel.exe
- powerpnt.exe
- mspub.exe
- visio.exe
- wordpad.exe
- wordview.exe
condition: selection1
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon, you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the
Sysmon TA. Tune and filter known instances where renamed rundll32.exe may be used.
