OriginalFileName from VERSIONINFO in Cortex XDR Pro

L4 Transporter

Hey dear community, 

 

Threat actors often rename apps. Like a.exe instead of anydesk.exe. But they do not change the versioninfo.

Is it possible to track this with cortex xdr pro?

Hi,

 

I think you can use something like below to track/hunt for the use case in question:

 

config case_sensitive = false 
| dataset = xdr_data 
| filter event_type = ENUM.LOAD_IMAGE and event_sub_type = ENUM.LOAD_IMAGE_MODULE 
| alter File_Version = json_extract_scalar(action_module_file_info,"$.file_version")
| alter Product_Version = json_extract_scalar(action_module_file_info,"$.product_version")
| alter Company = json_extract_scalar(action_module_file_info,"$.company")
| alter Description = json_extract_scalar(action_module_file_info,"$.description")
| alter internal_name = json_extract_scalar(action_module_file_info,"$.internal_name")
| alter original_name = json_extract_scalar(action_module_file_info,"$.original_name")
| alter only_exe = arrayindex(regextract(action_module_path,"^.+\\(.*?)$"),0)
| filter only_exe contains ".exe"
| fields only_exe as Filename, internal_name, original_name, File_Version, Company, Product_Version, Description, actor_process_image_name as Process, action_module_path as Path
| limit 500

 

 

I have seen XDR in live where renaming instance of cmd.exe to something else and executing commands alerts in XDR.

Kind Regards
KS
