global protect whoami

L0 Member

Hello,

 

I am seeing a weird activity from globalprotect agents where the agent is trying to execute wa3_3rd_party_host.32.exe

and the agent after that is executing whoami command.

 

PS: the HIP policy is disabled on the firewall

Hi @BARaha ,

 

wa3_3rd_party_host.32.exe is definitely not a standard or commonly recognized executable associated with GlobalProtect. I would recommend to take a look at the host and determine what the .exe is used for and run a scan. In the mean time, monitor the connections made on that particular host through the monitor traffic as well.

 

Btw, which panos version are you running on your firewall ?
