'This query will look for events where guest user was invited but has not accepted/redeemed invite for unusually longer period.
Any invites not redeemed for longer period of time can be misused and pose risk if suspiciously redeemed in other ways'
Any invites not redeemed for longer period of time can be misused and pose risk if suspiciously redeemed in other ways'
This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, May 2019 0-day disclosures.
In May and June of 2019, a security researcher with the online alias, SandboxEscaper, discovered and published several elevation-of-privilege vulnerabilities on Github. The researcher included proofs-of-concept demonstrating how to exploit these vulnerabilities.
Patches and more information about each vulnerability are available below:
1. CVE-2019-0863 | Windows Error Reporting Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
2. CVE-2019-1069 | Task Scheduler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
3. CVE-2019-1053 | Windows Shell Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
4. CVE-2019-1064 | Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
5. CVE-2019-0973 | Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
6. CVE-2019-1129 | Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
This query locates possible activity that exploits CVE-2019-0973 (also known as InstallerBypass), the fifth vulnerability listed above.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Solorigate supply chain attack. Please note that these attacks are currently known as the Nobelium campaign.
Microsoft detects the 2020 SolarWinds supply chain attack implant and its other components as part of a campaign by the Nobelium activity group. Nobelium is the threat actor behind the attack against SolarWinds, which was previously referred to as Solorigate.
Nobelium silently added malicious code to legitimate software updates for Orion, which is IT monitoring software provided by SolarWinds. In this way, malicious dynamic link libraries (DLLs) were distributed to SolarWinds customers.
The following query retrieves an inventory of SolarWinds Orion software use in your organization, organized by product name and ordered by how many devices the software is installed on.
More Nobelium-related queries can be found listed under the See also section of this document.

This query was originally published in a threat analytics report about the group known to other security researchers as APT32 or OceanLotus
This tracked activity group uses a wide array of malicious documents to conduct attacks. Some of their favorite techniques include sideloading dynamic link libraries, and disguising payloads as image files. The group has weaponized files with exploits for the following vulnerabilities:
1. CVE-2017-11882 - Software update
2. CVE-2017-0199 - Software update
The following query detects known malicious files associated with the group's campaigns.
See Detect malicious network activity associated with group known as "OceanLotus" for another query related to this group's activity.

This rule detects attempts to hijack legitimate RDP sessions to establish persistence on the RDP source machine. Specifically, it looks for file creation events where the 'mstsc.exe' process (Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client) is involved in writing a file to a user's 'Startup' folder. This technique can be used by an attacker to place a backdoor or malicious executable that will run automatically when the user logs into the RDP source machine.
This query identifies attempts to stop System Restore and prevent the system from creating restore points, which can be used to recover data encrypted by ransomware
This query looks for events that are near in time to a detected event.
It shows how you could avoid typing exact timestamps, and replace it with a simple query to get the timestamp of your pivot event (e.g. a detected event).
This is useful when you have queries that you run often - e.g. as part of your regular investigation of an alert.
Original query: filter for network logon events right before some timestamp.

This is a completely stupid and pointless query that makes Vogon poetry out
of a random FolderPath from the table you pass it. You can change
DeviceProcessEvents for any table as long as it has a column named DeviceName
and a column called FolderPath. Feel free to check in more verses :)

Monitor for creation of suspicious files in the /spools/driver/ folder. This is a broad-based search that will surface any creation or modification of files in the folder targeted by this exploit. False Positives for legitimate driver activity (when that activity should be present) in this folder are possible
'This hunting query identifies Accounts in GitHub that have granted access to another account which then grants access to yet another account that may be a sign of compromise.'
Identifies suspicious child processes of SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll that may be evidence of the SUNBURST backdoor
