Windows Process With NetExec Command Line Parameters

The analytic detects the use of NetExec (formerly CrackMapExec), a toolset for post-exploitation enumeration and attack within Active Directory environments, by identifying specific command-line arguments. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data to detect actions like ticket manipulation, Kerberoasting, and password spraying. This activity is significant as NetExec is used by adversaries to exploit Kerberos for privilege escalation and lateral movement, potentially leading to unauthorized access, persistence, and compromise of sensitive information.
