Name:Get-ForestTrust with PowerShell Script Block id:70fac80e-0bf1-11ec-9ba0-acde48001122 version:12 date:None author:Michael Haag, Splunk status:production type:TTP Description:The following analytic detects the execution of the Get-ForestTrust command from PowerSploit using PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This method captures the full command sent to PowerShell, providing detailed visibility into potentially suspicious activities. Monitoring this behavior is crucial as it can indicate an attempt to gather domain trust information, which is often a precursor to lateral movement or privilege escalation. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow an attacker to map trust relationships within the domain, facilitating further exploitation and access to sensitive resources. Data_source:
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime BY dest signature signature_id user_id vendor_product EventID Guid Opcode Name Path ProcessID ScriptBlockId ScriptBlockText
how_to_implement:To successfully implement this analytic, you will need to enable PowerShell Script Block Logging on some or all endpoints.
