description: The following analytic identifies command-line arguments where `cmd.exe
/c` is used to execute a program. `cmd /c` is used to run commands in MS-DOS and
terminate after command or process completion. This technique is commonly seen in
adversaries and malware to execute batch command using different shell like PowerShell
or different process other than `cmd.exe`. This is a good hunting query for suspicious
command-line made by a script or relative process execute it.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where `process_cmd` AND Processes.process="*
/c *" by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process 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)`
| `cmd_carry_out_string_command_parameter_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 may be high based on legitimate scripted code
in any environment. Filter as needed.
