title: Windows Cmd Delete File id: 379fa130-190e-4c3f-b7bc-6c8e834485f3 status: experimental description: | Adversaries may delete files left behind by the actions of their intrusion activity. Malware, tools, or other non-native files dropped or created on a system by an adversary may leave traces to indicate to what was done within a network and how. Removal of these files can occur during an intrusion, or as part of a post-intrusion process to minimize the adversary's footprint. author: frack113 date: 2022/01/15 references: - https://github.com/redcanaryco/atomic-red-team/blob/master/atomics/T1070.004/T1070.004.md logsource: category: process_creation product: windows detection: selection: - CommandLine|contains|all: - 'del ' - /f - CommandLine|contains|all: - rmdir - /s - /q condition: selection falsepositives: - Legitim script level: low tags: - attack.defense_evasion - attack.t1070.004
