The following analytic detects the execution of "dsquery.exe" with arguments targeting `TrustedDomain` queries directly from the command line. This behavior is identified using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as it often indicates domain trust discovery, a common step in lateral movement or privilege escalation by adversaries. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to map domain trusts, potentially leading to further exploitation and unauthorized access to trusted domains.

The following analytic detects the use of procdump.exe to dump the LSASS
process, specifically looking for the -mm and -ma command-line arguments. It leverages
data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names,
command-line executions, and parent processes. This activity is significant because
dumping LSASS can expose sensitive credentials, posing a severe security risk. If
confirmed malicious, an attacker could obtain credentials, escalate privileges,
and move laterally within the network, leading to potential data breaches and further
compromise of the environment.
