description: The following analytic identifies a suspicious process command line fetching
|
|
the environment variables with a non-shell parent process. This technique was seen
|
|
in qakbot malware where it fetches the environment variable in the target or compromised
|
|
host. This TTP detection is a good pivot of possible malicious behavior since the
|
|
command line is executed by a common non-shell process like cmd.exe , powershell.exe
|
|
and many more. This can also be a good sign that the parent process has a malicious
|
|
code injected to it to execute this command.

CommandLine:
|

- '*cmd /c set'

|
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: shell process that are not included in this search may cause
|
|
False positive. Filter is needed.
