GetWmiObject Ds Computer with PowerShell
Description
This analytic looks for the execution of powershell.exe
with command-line arguments utilized to discover remote systems. The Get-WmiObject
commandlet combined with the DS_Computer
parameter can be used to return a list of all domain computers. Red Teams and adversaries alike may leverage WMI in this case, using PowerShell, to enumerate domain groups for situational awareness and Active Directory Discovery.

Macros
The SPL above uses the following Macros:
getwmiobject_ds_computer_with_powershell_filter is a empty macro by default. It allows the user to filter out any results (false positives) without editing the SPL.
