One of the challenges in making an AppLocker policy is knowing where applications
launch from. This query normalizes process launch paths through aliasing, then
counts the number of processes launched from that path, how many distinct machines it
was launched on, and how many distinct file names \ hashes these processes had. The
path is broken into subfolders to help simplify analysis.

'This hunting query looks for file paths/hashes related to observed activity by Dev-0228. The actor is known to use custom version of popular tool like PsExec, Procdump etc. to carry its activity.
The risk score associated with each result is based on a number of factors, hosts with higher risk events should be investigated first.
This query uses the Microsoft Sentinel Information Model - https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/normalization'

This analytic detects suspicious modifications to Unix shell configuration files, such as `.bashrc` or `.profile`, which may indicate an attempt to alter system behavior or gain unauthorized access. Unauthorized changes to these files can be used to execute malicious commands, escalate privileges, or hide malicious activities. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized modifications to shell configuration files, this analytic helps identify potential security threats, allowing security teams to respond quickly and mitigate risks.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Ursnif (Gozi) continues to evolve.
Windows Management Instrumentation, or WMI, is a legitimate Microsoft framework used to obtain management data and perform administrative tasks on remote devices. However, attackers can also use WMI to gather information about a target or hijack control of a device. The MITRE ATT&CK framework includes WMI among its list of common enterprise attack techniques.
The following query detects when Microsoft Office software spawns an instance of the WMI command-line utility, wmic.exe.

Use this query to find email stealing activities ran by Qakbot that will use "ping.exe -t 127.0.0.1" to obfuscate subsequent actions.
Email theft that occurs might be exfiltrated to operators and indicates that the malware completed a large portion of its automated activity without interruption.

This query looks for a Word document attachment, from which a link was clicked, and after which there was a browser download.
This query is not noisy, but most of its results are clean.
It can also hserve as reference for other queries on email attachments, on browser downloads or for queries that join multiple events by time.
Tags: #EmailAttachment, #WordLink, #BrowserDownload, #Phishing, #DedupFileCreate.
Implementation comment #1: Matching events by time.
Matching the 3 different events (saving attachment, clicking on link, downloading file) is done purely by time difference - so could sometimes link together unrelated events.
Doing a more exact lookup would create a much more complex query due to.
Implementation comment #2: Deduping DeviceFileEvents.
Oftentimes there are multiple DeviceFileEvents for a single file - e.g. if the file keeps being appended into before being closed.
So, we query only for the last reported file state to ignore intermediate file states.
Explaining the underlying data:.
BrowserLaunchedToOpenUrl event:.
This query uses the BrowserLaunchedToOpenUrl event, that includes clicks on http:// or https:// links (clicks outside of browsers), or on .lnk files.
For this event, RemoteUrl contains the opened URL.
