Get-Baseline

Get-Baseline is a wrapper PowerShell script for a number of functions that automates the initial tasks in an incident response scenario.

`Get-Baseline`

Primary function. Calls all Remote Access, Baseline Collection, and EventLog Collection functions.

Baseline Collection

Collect ASEPs, live process, configuration data for systems in scope.

`Get-BetterTasklist`

Collects current running processes - TimeGenerated, Name, ProcessID, ParentProcessId, ExecutablePath, Hash, CommandLine

`Get-DLLs`

Collects current loaded DLLs - TimeGenerated, ModuleName, FileName, Hash, Size, Company, Description, FileVersion, Product, ProductVersion

`Get-BetterNetstat`

Collects current netstat output - TimeGenerated, Protocol, LocalAddress, ForeignAddress, State, Name, ProcessId, ParentProcessId, ExecutablePath, Hash, CommandLine

`Invoke-Autorunsc`

Download and execute autorunsc.exe with the following arguments: -accepteula -h -c -nobanner -a * -s

`Invoke-Sigcheck`

Verifies signature integrity on the system based on Matt Graeber's "Subverting Trust in Windows" then downloads and executes sigcheck.exe -accepteula -c -u -e -s -r -nobanner C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64

`Get-AuditOptions`

Checks registry for additional auditing options - Process Creation Command Line, PowerShell Transcription, PowerShell Script Block Logging, PowerShell Module Logging, Windows Event Forwarding.

Analysis

Signature Based Analysis

Applying IOCs (filename,hash,c2,etc) to the data set in a given SIEM (Splunk)

Get IOCs

Fixing IOCs

Substitute double backslash for single - sed (splunk-ism)
Substitute semi-colon for comma - tr (turn into csv. splunk-ism)
Add * to beginning and end of string - awk (for wildcard matching and command line comparison)

grep -v '#' filename-iocs.txt | sed '/^\s*$/d' | tr ";" "," | sed 's/\\\\/\\/g' | sed 's/\\\./\./g' | awk '{ print "\*" $0; }' | awk -F',' '{print $1,$2}' OFS='*,' > ~/filename-iocs.csv

grep -v '#' c2-iocs.txt | sed '/^\s*$/d' | tr ";" "," > ~/c2-iocs.txt

grep -v '#' hash-iocs.txt | sed '/^\s*$/d' | tr ";" "," > ~/hash-iocs.txt

Single File
Unique Entries Only (save computing power. no need to check same hash/c2/filename twice)

cat all-filename-iocs.csv | sort -t"," -k1 | uniq | wc -l

Find and remediate any entries without description or source field (required for splunk query design)

cat uniq-all-hash-iocs.csv | awk -F',' '$2 == "" {print $0}'
cat uniq-all-c2-iocs.csv | awk -F',' '$2 == "" {print $0}'
cat uniq-all-c2-iocs.csv | awk -F',' '$2 == "" {print $0}'

cat uniq-all-filename-iocs.csv | awk -F',' '$2 == "" {print $0"0"}' > fixed-filename-iocs.csv
cat uniq-all-filename-iocs.csv | awk -F',' '$2 != "" {print $0}' >> fixed-filename-iocs.csv

Identify CSV headers to be used in splunk queries

uniq-all-c2-iocs.csv -> host,source
uniq-all-filename-iocs.csv -> filename,description
uniq-all-hash-iocs.csv -> hash,source

Configure SIEM (Splunk)

IOCs gathered and prepared. Now we prepare our environment

Prepare for Data Ingest and Field Extraction

These configs allow us to (automatically) extract the fields we need from CSV data acquired with PowerShell remoting

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\system\local\props.conf

[csv_eventlog]
DATETIME_CONFIG = 
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = csv
KV_MODE = none
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = TimeGenerated
category = Structured
description = Comma-separated value format. Set header and other settings in "Delimited Settings"
disabled = false
pulldown_type = true
REPORT-Message = message_delims

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\system\local\transforms.conf

[message_delims]
SOURCE_KEY = Message
DELIMS = "\n", "=:"
CLEAN_KEYS = true
MV_ADD     = true

Prepare Lookups

These configs allow us to reference our CSV IOC lists and apply WILDCARD and CASE(in)sensitive matching

Move CSV File to:

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\search\lookups\

In WebApp add CSVs as "lookup" files

Settings > Lookups > Lookup definitions > Add new
search
<name>
File-based
<file>

Implement Wildcard Matching

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\users\\search\local\transforms.conf

[filename-iocs]
batch_index_query = 0
case_sensitive_match = 0			<---- Change from 1 to 0
filename = filename-iocs.csv
match_type = WILDCARD(filename)		<---- Add this line

[hash-iocs]
batch_index_query = 0
case_sensitive_match = 1
filename = hash-iocs.csv

Example:

filename-iocs.csv contains:

filename,description
*ystem32\svchost.exe*,90
...

Splunk Query:

source="C:\\20171215_Survey\\Baseline*" 
| lookup filename-iocs filename AS ExecutablePath OUTPUT description AS threat_description 
| search threat_description=*

Results: any events that contain the field "ExecutablePath" with a value that matches the list of wildcards in filename-iocs.csv

Field	Value
"TimeGenerated"	"Fri, 15 Dec 2017 18:06:15 GMT"
"Protocol"	"UDP"
"LocalAddress"	"[::]:4500"
"Name"	"svchost.exe"
"ProcessId"	"844"
