This query will provide a report of many of the best practice configurations for Defender ATP deployment. Special Thanks to Gilad Mittelman for the initial inspiration and concept.
Any tests which are reporting "BAD" as a result imply that the associated capability is not configured per best practice recommendation.

Snip3 is a family of related remote access trojans. Although the malware in this family contain numerous small variations, they all exhibit similar behaviors and techniques.
The following query looks for a function call to a method named DetectSandboxie. This method is used in RevengeRAT and AsyncRAT instances involved in a campaign targeting the aviation industry, first observed in 2021. It has also been associated in the past other malware, such as WannaCry and QuasarRAT. Individual PowerShell functions can be detected in the same way in some instances, though care should be taken to ensure that the command name is unique -- otherwise, this query may return many false positives.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Ransomware continues to hit healthcare, critical services.
It finds all user accounts that have logged on to an endpoint affected by Cobalt Strike, a penetration tool.
Assume that all credentials on endpoints affected by Cobalt Strike were available to attackers and that all associated accounts are compromised. Note that attackers will not only dump credentials for accounts that have logged on to interactive or RDP sessions, but will also dump cached credentials and passwords for service accounts and scheduled tasks that are stored in the LSA Secrets section of the registry.
