name: Get DomainUser with PowerShell Script Block

description: The following analytic detects the execution of the `Get-DomainUser`
cmdlet using PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This cmdlet is part
of PowerView, a tool often used for domain enumeration. The detection leverages
PowerShell operational logs to identify instances where this command is executed.
Monitoring this activity is crucial as it may indicate an adversary's attempt to
gather information about domain users, which is a common step in Active Directory
Discovery. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to further reconnaissance
and potential exploitation of domain resources.
data_source:
- Powershell Script Block Logging 4104
search: '`powershell` EventCode=4104 ScriptBlockText = "*Get-DomainUser*" | fillnull
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by dest signature signature_id
user_id vendor_product EventID Guid Opcode Name Path ProcessID ScriptBlockId ScriptBlockText
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `get_domainuser_with_powershell_script_block_filter`'
how_to_implement: The following Hunting analytic requires PowerShell operational logs
to be imported. Modify the powershell macro as needed to match the sourcetype or
add index. This analytic is specific to 4104, or PowerShell Script Block Logging.
known_false_positives: Administrators or power users may use this command for troubleshooting.
