### Investigating PowerShell PSReflect Script
|
||||
|
||||
PowerShell is one of the main tools in the belt of system administrators for automation, report routines, and other tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
PSReflect is a library that enables PowerShell to access win32 API functions in an uncomplicated way. It also helps to
|
||||
create enums and structs easily—all without touching the disk.
|
||||
|
||||
Although this is an interesting project for every developer and admin out there, it is mainly used in the red team and
|
||||
malware tooling for its capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
Detecting the core implementation of PSReflect means detecting most of the tooling that uses windows API through
|
||||
PowerShell, enabling the defender to discover tools being dropped in the environment.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Possible investigation steps:
|
||||
- Check for additional PowerShell logs that indicate that the script/command was run.
|
||||
- Gather the script content that may be split into multiple script blocks, and identify its capabilities.
|
||||
- If the action is suspicious for the user, check for any other activities done by the user in the last 48 hours.
|
||||
- Look for additional alerts involving the host and the user.
|
||||
|
||||
### False Positive Analysis
|
||||
- Verify whether the script content is malicious/harmful.

### Response and Remediation
|
||||
- Immediate response should be taken to validate activity, investigate and potentially isolate activity to prevent further
|
||||
post-compromise behavior.

|
||||
## Config
|
||||
The 'PowerShell Script Block Logging' logging policy is required be configured (Enable).
|
||||
|
||||
Steps to implement the logging policy with with Advanced Audit Configuration:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Computer Configuration >
|
||||
Administrative Templates >
|
||||
Windows PowerShell >
|
||||
Turn on PowerShell Script Block Logging (Enable)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Steps to implement the logging policy via registry:
|
||||
```
|
||||
reg add "hklm\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\PowerShell\\ScriptBlockLogging" /v EnableScriptBlockLogging /t REG_DWORD /d 1
|
||||
```
