Adversaries may acquire credentials from web browsers by reading files specific to the target browser.
Web browsers commonly save credentials such as website usernames and passwords so that they do not need to be entered manually in the future.
Web browsers typically store the credentials in an encrypted format within a credential store.

Detects all variations of obfuscated powershell IEX invocation code generated by Invoke-Obfuscation framework from the following code block \u2014
PowerShell Remove-Item with -Path to delete a file or a folder with "-Recurse"
Detects the execution of a PowerShell script with a call to the "Send-MailMessage" cmdlet along with the "-Attachments" flag. This could be a potential sign of data exfiltration via Email.
Adversaries may steal data by exfiltrating it over an un-encrypted network protocol other than that of the existing command and control channel. The data may also be sent to an alternate network location from the main command and control server.

'This query dynamically identifies Exchange servers and then looks for instances where the IIS worker process initiates a call out to a remote URL using either cmd.exe or powershell.exe.
This behaviour was described as post-compromise behaviour following exploitation of CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082, this pattern of activity was use to download additional tools to the server. This suspicious activity is generic.'

Identify email exfiltration conducted by PowerShell.
Look for adding a user to Administrators in remote desktop users via PowerShell.
These queries was originally published in the threat analytics report, Attacks on gov't, think tanks, NGOs.
As described further in Analysis of cyberattack on U.S. think tanks, non-profits, public sector by unidentified attackers, there was a very large spear-phishing campaign launched in November 2019.
The attackers would gain access to a target by having the user click on a link to a compromised website and download a .zip archive.
Once established on a target's device, the attackers used a malicious DLL named cyzfc.dat to execute additional payloads. They would call a function in the malicious DLL via the legitimate Windows process, rundll32.exe, to connect directly to their command-and-control (C2) servers.
The following queries detect activity associated with the malicious DLL, cyzfc.dat., used in this campaign.

This query will detect encoded powershell based on the parameters passed during process creation. This query will also work if the PowerShell executable is renamed or tampered with since detection is based solely on a regex of the launch string.
This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Motivated miners.
Doublepulsar is a backdoor developed by the National Security Agency (NSA). First disclosed in 2017, it is now used by many malicious actors. Software patches are available.
The following query detects activity broadly associated with campaigns that use DoublePulsar to exploit web servers.
See Detect DoublePulsar execution for a query that detects possible DoublePulsar execution events.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, "Exchange Server zero-days exploited in the wild".
In early March 2021, Microsoft released patches for four different zero-day vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Exchange Server. The vulnerabilities were being used in a coordinated attack. For more information on the vulnerabilities, visit the following links:
1. CVE-2021-26855
2. CVE-2021-26857
3. CVE-2021-26858
4. CVE-2021-27065
The following query finds evidence of Base64-encoded commands used by the Nishang penetration testing framework to load a reverse TCP shell. This might indicate an attacker has remote access to the device.

Malicious emails often contain documents and other specially crafted attachments that run PowerShell commands to deliver additional payloads. If you are aware of emails coming from a known malicious sender, you can use this query to list and review PowerShell activities that occurred within 30 minutes after an email was received from the sender .
