title: Formbook Process Creation
id: 032f5fb3-d959-41a5-9263-4173c802dc2b
status: experimental
description: Detects Formbook like process executions that inject code into a set of files in the System32 folder, which executes a special command command line to
    delete the dropper from the AppData Temp folder. We avoid false positives by excluding all parent process with command line parameters.
