![]() ![]() Command monitoringĬommand-line parameters are also an effective telemetry source for detecting potentially malicious PowerShell behavior. Many security tools collect process telemetry, and Red Canary leverages a variety of EDR tools to gather this information. We frequently focus our detection analytics primarily on process starts, stops, and parent/child relationships while using other sources of data, like command-line parameters or network connections to enrich our detection logic. Process execution and lineage are among the most common sources of telemetry that we leverage at Red Canary to detect all varieties of malicious activity. Some of this telemetry can be collected from commercial EDR or other security products, via native operating system logs, or both. ![]() The following data or telemetry sources are available to enterprise defenders or security vendors alike on a case-to-case basis. Note: The visibility sections in this report are mapped to MITRE ATT&CK data sources and components.ĭefenders have been able to detect malicious use of PowerShell since the tool’s inception-and the array of relevant telemetry sources has expanded in near lockstep with adversary abuse over the years. NET methods, among other PowerShell featuresĪdversaries also occasionally leverage PowerShell to disable Windows security tools and to decrypt encrypted or obfuscated payloads. to perform ingress tool transfer by downloading payloads from the internet using cmdlets, abbreviated cmdlets, or argument names, and calling.to encode or otherwise obfuscate malicious activity, using Base64 and variations of the encoded command switch.as a component of an offensive security or attack toolkit like Empire, PoShC2, PowerSploit, and Cobalt Strike.In many cases, this payload executes encoded or obfuscated PowerShell commands that download and execute additional code or a malicious binary from a remote resource.īased on our analysis of commonalities across threats leveraging PowerShell, we frequently observe adversaries abusing PowerShell in the following ways: Adversaries commonly send their victims email messages that include malicious attachments containing embedded code intended to launch a payload. ![]() PowerShell’s versatility is on display in many of the phishing campaigns we see. remotely download and execute arbitrary code and binaries.Adversaries abuse PowerShell in many ways to satisfy many needs. ![]()
