These queries check telemetry from the Exploit Guard rule: Rule: Block Office applications from creating child processes.
(Rule ID d4f940ab-401b-4efc-aadc-ad5f3c50688a).
Read more about it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/attack-surface-reduction-exploit-guard.
Oftentimes organizations enable this rule in audit mode and check the results before setting block mode.
You can use query #2 to measure the rule impact on your network in audit mode before turning it to block mode.
Query #1 is used after setting it to block mode - to analyze the block stats.
Tags: #ASR.
Query #1: block stats.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Trickbot: Pervasive & underestimated.
Trickbot is a very prevalent piece of malware with an array of malicious capabilities. Originally designed to steal banking credentials, it has since evolved into a modular trojan that can deploy other malware, disable security software, and perform command-and-control (C2) operations.
Trickbot is frequently spread through email. An attacker will send a target a message with an attachment containing a malicious macro. If the target enables the macro, it will write a JScript Encoded (JSE) file to disk (JScript is a Microsoft dialect of ECMAScript). The JSE file will then be launched using wscript.exe to perform a variety of malicious tasks, particularly reconnaissance.
The following query detects when Office applications have launched wscript.exe to run a JSE file.
See Detect rundll.exe being used for reconnaissance and command-and-control for another query related to Trickbot activity.
