The following analytic detects the execution of multiple offensive toolkits and commands through the process execution datamodel. This method captures commands given directly to powershell.exe, allowing for the identification of suspicious activities including several well-known tools used for credential theft, lateral movement, and persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and potential compromise of sensitive information within the environment.

The analytic detects the execution of the Get-GPPPassword or Get-CachedGPPPassword PowerShell cmdlets, which are used to search for unsecured credentials in Group Policy Preferences (GPP). This detection leverages PowerShell Script Block Logging to identify specific script block text associated with these cmdlets. Monitoring this activity is crucial as it can indicate an attempt to retrieve and decrypt stored credentials from SYSVOL, potentially leading to unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow an attacker to escalate privileges or move laterally within the network by exploiting exposed credentials.

This analytic detects the execution of the `Get-ForestTrust` command, often associated with the PowerSploit framework, via PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This activity is significant because `Get-ForestTrust` is used to enumerate trust relationships within an Active Directory forest. Adversaries commonly perform this discovery technique as a precursor to lateral movement or privilege escalation, aiming to map out the environment for further exploitation and access to sensitive resources. Detecting this command provides visibility into potential reconnaissance efforts by attackers.

This analytic detects the execution of the `Get-ForestDomain` cmdlet, which is part of the PowerView toolkit. PowerView is commonly used for Windows domain enumeration, particularly for gathering detailed information about Active Directory forest and domain configurations. The detection relies on PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). Adversaries and Red Teams utilize this cmdlet to understand the domain structure, which can facilitate lateral movement or privilege escalation within an environment.

This analytic detects the execution of multiple offensive toolkits and commands by leveraging PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). It captures and logs the full command sent to PowerShell, allowing for the identification of suspicious activities including several well-known tools used for credential theft, lateral movement, and persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and potential compromise of sensitive information within the environment.

This rule detects highly relevant antivirus events in the Windows Application log by looking for specific keywords associated with known virus signatures, malware, and offensive security tools. It aims to identify instances where an antivirus product has detected or quarantined malicious software or activity.

This rule detects specific code artifacts commonly found in offensive PowerShell payloads such as Cobalt Strike Beacon, PoshC2, Powerview, Letmein, Empire, and PowerSploit. These artifacts often remain unchanged due to poor operational security practices by attackers. The rule looks for specific strings like '$DoIt', 'harmj0y', 'mattifestation', '_RastaMouse', 'tifkin_', and '0xdeadbeef' within PowerShell script payloads.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using common command-line patterns associated with PowerSploit or Empire's default configurations. This rule specifically looks for `schtasks.exe` being executed by PowerShell with parameters indicative of task creation, including specific task names like 'Updater' and common scheduling triggers.
