On Windows hosts, look through recent PowerShell execution records to find any elevated session where remote management was turned on. What exact command was run to enable PSRemoting?

On a Windows endpoint, look for evidence of a base64-encoded PowerShell payload execution. Which executable launched the encoded command?

Windows process creation logs show a PowerShell-driven file transfer to an FTP service. Which executable was leveraged to perform this exfiltration?

A user launched a Windows command prompt and executed a built-in utility to enumerate all active network connections. Using process creation logs, identify the exact tool that produced the list of current connections.

In a Windows log analytics workspace, search for PowerShell processes that were used to enumerate network connections. Determine which PowerShell cmdlet was executed to list active TCP connections.

Investigate Windows process events for PowerShell activity that leverages WMI to register a scheduled task via XML import. What was the name of the XML file supplied to the RegisterByXml method?

On a Linux system, find any process creation record where awk is used with a BEGIN rule to launch a shell. What was the exact command invoked?

On a Windows endpoint, review process execution logs to see if any PowerShell sessions were wiped clean. Which command was executed to clear the PowerShell history?

On a Windows endpoint, commands are no longer being logged to PowerShell history, suggesting PSReadLine settings were altered. Using process execution logs, determine the exact command that was run to set the history save style to 'SaveNothing'.

Using Linux process execution logs, identify the specific command that was used to filter loaded kernel modules for entries containing “vmw.” What was that full command?

Review Windows process execution logs for any PowerShell activity that retrieves the system clock. Which command was executed?

In Windows process event logs, you notice both the net time and w32tm commands being executed to display the system time and timezone. Which executor name from the test configuration was responsible for launching these utilities?

An analyst reviewing Windows process logs wants to spot instances where a native time tool was repurposed to introduce a delay. Which full W32tm invocation, including the stripchart and period flags, appears in the logs?

On a Windows endpoint, someone may have disabled the secure desktop for elevation prompts by modifying a registry setting. Review the registry event logs to identify which registry value name was changed to 0.

A Windows host shows a registry write under DeviceRegistryEvents affecting the System policy path. Investigate entries where the data is set to ‘0’ and determine which registry value was modified to turn off UAC consent prompts.

On a Windows system, PowerShell was used to gather multiple browser credential files into a temp folder and then archive them. What was the name of the resulting ZIP file?

Using Linux process or syslog logs, identify the executable that was run to output the system's locale information.

On Windows devices, identify the full command used when the built-in credential manager utility was invoked to list stored credentials. What was the exact command?

On a Linux system, review process creation logs to spot any dd commands reading from /proc/*/mem. What was the name of the file where the dumped memory was written?

A Windows host shows a process launch with an extremely obfuscated command line that dynamically builds and invokes code at runtime. Which process name was used to execute this payload?

In a Linux environment, you observe a process labeled like the cron daemon but running from an unexpected path. Investigate creation events to uncover the actual filename used by this fake cron process.

On a Windows system, someone ran PowerShell to copy a file from a remote machine’s C$ share to the local TEMP folder. Using process event logs, what full PowerShell command was executed to perform this action?
