Get-DomainTrust with PowerShell
Description
This analytic identifies Get-DomainTrust from PowerView in order to gather domain trust information. Typically, this is utilized within a script being executed and used to enumerate the domain trust information. This grants the adversary an understanding of how large or small the domain is. During triage, review parallel processes using an EDR product or 4688 events. It will be important to understand the timeline of events around this activity.

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

How To Implement
The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the Processes
node of the Endpoint
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.
Known False Positives
Limited false positives as this requires an active Administrator or adversary to bring in, import, and execute.

Risk Score | Impact | Confidence | Message |
---|---|---|---|
12.0 | 30 | 40 | Suspicious PowerShell Get-DomainTrust was identified on endpoint $dest$ by user $user$. |
The Risk Score is calculated by the following formula: Risk Score = (Impact * Confidence/100). Initial Confidence and Impact is set by the analytic author.
