Hi @Cyber1985 

 

I believe you can use below XQL query. 

 

preset = xdr_file
| filter event_type = ENUM.FILE and event_sub_type = ENUM.FILE_OPEN and action_file_path contains "\NamedPipe\"

Hi,

Just to add on top of Emre's suggestion, you can check out this article.


Query #7 is used to hunt SolarWind breaches based on namedpipe.
