description: This analytic is to detect the execution of sdelete.exe application sysinternal
tools. This tool is one of the most use tool of malware and adversaries to remove
or clear their tracks and artifact in the targetted host. This tool is designed
to delete securely a file in file system that remove the forensic evidence on the
machine. A good TTP query to check why user execute this application which is not
a common practice.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` values(Processes.process) as process
values(Processes.parent_process) as parent_process values(Processes.process_id)
as process_id count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
where `process_sdelete` by Processes.process_name Processes.original_file_name
Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.parent_process
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `sdelete_application_execution_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: user may execute and use this application
