### Investigating Suspicious Java Child Process
|
|
|
|
This rule identifies a suspicious child process of the Java interpreter process. It may indicate an attempt to execute
|
|
a malicious JAR file or an exploitation attempt via a Java specific vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
#### Possible investigation steps
|
|
|
|
- Investigate the process execution chain (parent process tree) for unknown processes. Examine their executable files
|
|
for prevalence and whether they are located in expected locations.
|
|
- Investigate other alerts associated with the user/host during the past 48 hours.
|
|
- Investigate any abnormal account behavior, such as command executions, file creations or modifications, and network
|
|
connections.
|
|
- Investigate any abnormal behavior by the subject process such as network connections, file modifications, and any
|
|
spawned child processes.
|
|
- Examine the command line to determine if the command executed is potentially harmful or malicious.
|
|
- Inspect the host for suspicious or abnormal behavior in the alert timeframe.
|
|
|
|
### False positive analysis
|
|
|
|
- If this activity is expected and noisy in your environment, consider adding exceptions — preferably with a combination
|
|
of process and command line conditions.
|
|
|
|
### Response and remediation
|
|
|
|
- Initiate the incident response process based on the outcome of the triage.
|
|
- Isolate the involved hosts to prevent further post-compromise behavior.
|
|
- Remove and block malicious artifacts identified during triage.
|
|
- Investigate credential exposure on systems compromised or used by the attacker to ensure all compromised accounts are
|
|
identified. Reset passwords for these accounts and other potentially compromised credentials, such as email, business
|
|
systems, and web services.
|
|
- Run a full antimalware scan. This may reveal additional artifacts left in the system, persistence mechanisms, and
|
|
malware components.
|
|
- Determine the initial vector abused by the attacker and take action to prevent reinfection through the same vector.
|
|
- Using the incident response data, update logging and audit policies to improve the mean time to detect (MTTD) and the
|
|
mean time to respond (MTTR).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
If enabling an EQL rule on a non-elastic-agent index (such as beats) for versions <8.2, events will not define `event.ingested` and default fallback for EQL rules was not added until 8.2, so you will need to add a custom pipeline to populate `event.ingested` to @timestamp for this rule to work.
