KQL Query from file: The Hunt for Top 10 Self Hosted AI
Detects PowerShell scripts that make use of the "Compress-Archive" cmdlet in order to compress folders and files.
An adversary might compress data (e.g., sensitive documents) that is collected prior to exfiltration in order to make it portable and minimize the amount of data sent over the network.
An adversary might compress data (e.g., sensitive documents) that is collected prior to exfiltration in order to make it portable and minimize the amount of data sent over the network.
One common technique leveraged by attackers is using archiving applications to package up files for exfiltration. In many cases, these archives are usually protected with a password to make analysis more difficult. This query identifies applications which leverage a command line pattern which matches the 7zip and WinRAR command line executables to create or update an archive when a password is specified. By detecting based on the command line we can avert attempts to dodge detection by renaming the application.

This query can be used to explore any instances where a terminated individual (i.e. one who has an impending termination date but has not left the company) downloads a large number of files from a non-Domain network address.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, ironSource PUA & unwanted apps impact millions.
IronSource provides software bundling tools for many popular legitimate apps, such as FileZilla. However, some of ironSource's bundling tools are considered PUA, because they exhibit potentially unwanted behavior. One component of these tools, detected by Microsoft as Prifou, silently transmits system information from the user. It also installs an outdated version of Chromium browser with various browser extensions, resets the user's home page, changes their search engine settings, and forces Chromium and itself to launch at startup.
The following query can be used to locate unique command-line strings used by ironSource bundlers to launch Prifou, as well as commands used by Prifou to install Chromium.

Intent:
- Use MTP capability to look for insider threat potential risk indicators
- Indicators would then serve as the building block for insider threat risk modeling in subsequent tools
Definition of Insider Threat:
"The potential for an individual who has or had authorized access to an organization's assets to use their access, either maliciously or unintentionally, to act in a way that could negatively affect the organization."
This collection of queries describes the different indicators that could be used to model and look for patterns suggesting an increased risk of an individual becoming a potential insider threat.
Note: no single indicator should be used as a lone determinant of insider threat activity, but should be part of an overall program to understand the increased risk to your organization's critical assets. This in turn is used to feed an investigation by a formal insider threat program to look at the context associated with the whole person to understand the implication of a set of indicators.

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 detects 7-zip activity associated with this threat. 7-ZIP is a legitimate tool used for file archiving; however, unusual 7-ZIP activity combined with other evidence might indicate that an attacker is compressing data for exfiltration.
More queries related to this threat can be found under the See also section of this page.

This query can be used to detect instances of a malicious insider creating a file archive and then emailing that archive to an external "competitor" organization.

Detects the creation of a file with the ".pdf" extension by the "RegEdit.exe" process. This indicates that a user is trying to print/save a registry key as a PDF in order to potentially extract sensitive information and bypass defenses.
Detects suspicious commands as identified in CISA Living off the Land pdf. Alone they may be normal but in concert, they may be worth looking into
The following analytic detects the use of the Certipy tool to enumerate Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) environments by identifying unique file modifications. It leverages endpoint process and filesystem data to spot the creation of files with specific names or extensions associated with Certipy's information gathering and exfiltration activities. This activity is significant as it indicates potential reconnaissance and data exfiltration efforts by an attacker. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive AD CS information, enabling further attacks or privilege escalation within the network.
This rule detects the execution of 'tar.exe' with command-line arguments indicative of creating a compressed archive. Specifically, it looks for the '-c' (create), '-r' (append or update), or '-u' (update) flags. This activity is often associated with adversaries compressing data before exfiltration.
Detects the use of rar.exe to create an archive with a password and recursive flag, specifically targeting system folders or common staging directories. This behavior is often associated with attackers collecting and preparing data for exfiltration.
This rule detects the execution of 'tar.exe' with the '-x' command-line argument, indicating an attempt to extract compressed files. Adversaries often use legitimate utilities like 'tar.exe' to decompress data, which can help them avoid detection and prepare collected data for further actions like exfiltration. The rule specifically looks for the 'tar.exe' image or an original filename of 'bsdtar' combined with the extraction flag.
