  • Monitor for replacement of the WMI service binary (winmgmt) via sc.exe config with a non-standard binPath, which is a key step in the FakeWMIServer attack chain.
  • Detect inbound/outbound firewall rules being created for unknown executables in non-standard paths (e.g., c:\service\) using New-NetFirewallRule, which is used to expose the fake WMI service.
  • Alert on .NET DCOM clients (System.Management / Get-WmiObject) connecting to remote WMI endpoints where the initial CreateInstance call uses only CONNECT level authentication, which enables MITM/Man-At-The-Side attacks delivering malicious BinaryFormatter streams.
  • Detect IManagedObject interface queries on IWbemServices objects returned from IWbemLevel1Login::NTLMLogin, which triggers automatic deserialization of an untrusted BinaryFormatter stream on the client.
  • Alert on unexpected child processes (e.g., cmd.exe, notepad.exe) spawned in the context of a privileged monitoring account following Get-WmiObject or System.Management DCOM calls to remote hosts.
  • ·The DAX2API privilege escalation is specific to systems with Realtek Audio Driver version 6.0.1.7898 on Windows 10 (tested on Lenovo P50); service binary version 0.7.2.61 built 7/18/2016.
