This analytic detects the execution of the `Get-DomainPolicy` cmdlet using PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). It leverages logs capturing script block text to identify attempts to obtain the password policy in a Windows domain. This activity is significant as it indicates potential reconnaissance efforts by adversaries or Red Teams to gather domain policy information, which is crucial for planning further attacks. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to detailed knowledge of domain security settings, aiding in privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network.

The analytic identifies the use of the w32tm.exe utility with specific command-line arguments (/stripchart, /computer:localhost, /period:, /dataonly, /samples:). This combination of arguments is indicative of DCRat malware delaying its payload execution to evade detection. The detection leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data to monitor process creation events and their associated command-line arguments. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to evade detection by delaying malicious actions such as C2 communication and beaconing, potentially allowing an attacker to maintain persistence and execute further malicious activities undetected.

This analytic detects EventLog reconnaissance activity using utilities such as `wevtutil.exe`, `wmic.exe`, PowerShell cmdlets like `Get-WinEvent`, or WMI queries targeting `Win32_NTLogEvent`. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. These tools are often used by adversaries to extract usernames, IP addresses, session data, and event information for credential access or situational awareness during lateral movement. While these utilities are legitimate, execution with specific arguments or targeting sensitive logs like `Security`, `PowerShell`, or specific EventIDs (e.g., 4624, 4778) can indicate malicious intent. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to extract sensitive info and potentially have leveraged access or move laterally.

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.

The following analytic identifies command-line activity querying the registry for Security Support Providers (SSPs) related to Local Security Authority (LSA) protection and configuration. This detection leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on processes accessing specific LSA registry paths. Monitoring this activity is crucial as adversaries and post-exploitation tools like winpeas may use it to gather information on LSA protections, potentially leading to credential theft. If confirmed malicious, attackers could exploit this to scrape password hashes or plaintext passwords from memory, significantly compromising system security.

The following analytic detects the execution of the SOAPHound binary (`soaphound.exe`) with specific command-line arguments. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names, command-line arguments, and other process-related metadata. This activity is significant because SOAPHound is a known tool used for credential dumping and other malicious activities. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to extract sensitive information, escalate privileges, or persist within the environment, posing a severe threat to organizational security.

The analytic identifies the creation of a suspicious file named 'win.dat' in the root directory (C:\). This behavior is significant as it is commonly used by malware like NjRAT to check for administrative privileges on a compromised host. If confirmed malicious, this activity could indicate that the malware has administrative access, allowing it to perform high-privilege actions, potentially leading to further system compromise and persistence.

This analytic detects the use of PowerView commandlets, specifically `Get-DomainComputer` or `Get-NetComputer` with the `-TrustedToAuth` parameter, to discover Windows endpoints configured with Kerberos Constrained Delegation. This activity is indicative of reconnaissance efforts by adversaries or Red Teams to map out privileged delegation settings in Active Directory. Successful exploitation of such configurations could lead to privilege escalation or lateral movement.

The following analytic detects the execution of the reg.exe process with either the "save" or "export" parameters. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution logs and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because threat actors often use the "reg save" or "reg export" command to dump credentials or test registry modification capabilities on compromised hosts. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to escalate privileges, persist in the environment, or access sensitive information stored in the registry.

The following analytic detects the execution of `net.exe` with command-line arguments used to query elevated domain or sensitive groups. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line executions. This activity is significant as it indicates potential reconnaissance efforts by adversaries to identify high-privileged users within Active Directory. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to further attacks aimed at compromising privileged accounts, escalating privileges, or gaining unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data.

The following analytic detects the execution of nslookup.exe to query domain information using LDAP. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as nslookup.exe can be abused by malware like Qakbot to gather critical domain details, such as SRV records and server names. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to map the network, identify key servers, and plan further attacks, potentially leading to data exfiltration or lateral movement within the network.

The analytic detects the pulling of known Kubernetes security scanner images such as kube-hunter, kube-bench, and kube-recon. It leverages Kubernetes logs ingested through Splunk Connect for Kubernetes, specifically monitoring for messages indicating the pulling of these images. This activity is significant because the use of security scanners can indicate an attempt to identify vulnerabilities within the Kubernetes environment. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to the discovery and exploitation of security weaknesses, potentially compromising the entire Kubernetes cluster.
