Description

The following analytic utilizes PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104) to identify the execution of the Get-DomainController commandlet. Get-DomainController is part of PowerView, a PowerShell tool used to perform enumeration on Windows domains. Red Teams and adversaries alike may use PowerView to enumerate domain computers for situational awareness and Active Directory Discovery.
