- Add validated mitre_attack frontmatter to all 754 skills (286 distinct techniques), verified against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 via the official mitreattack-python library: 0 revoked, deprecated, or invalid IDs - Curate precise per-skill technique IDs for forensics, malware-analysis, threat-intel, and red-team skills (e.g. DCSync -> T1003.006, Kerberoasting -> T1558.003, Pass-the-Ticket -> T1550.003) - Reconcile v19.1 tactic restructuring: Defense Evasion split into Stealth (TA0005) and Defense Impairment (TA0112); revoked T1562.* family and T1070.001/.002 remapped to active equivalents (T1685.*) - Normalize word-split tags across 35 skills (remove filename-derived stopword tags, add semantic cybersecurity tags) - Add api-reference.md for 3 skills that were missing it - Update README ATT&CK section with accurate v19.1 tactic distribution

Hunting for Anomalous PowerShell Execution
Overview
PowerShell Script Block Logging (Event ID 4104) records the full deobfuscated script text executed on a Windows endpoint, making it the primary data source for hunting malicious PowerShell. Combined with Module Logging (4103) and process creation events, analysts can detect encoded commands, AMSI bypass patterns, download cradles, credential theft tools, and fileless attack techniques even when the attacker uses obfuscation layers.
When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require hunting for anomalous powershell execution
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
Prerequisites
- Windows Event Log exports (.evtx) from Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational
- Python 3.8+ with python-evtx and lxml libraries
- Script Block Logging enabled via Group Policy
- Understanding of common PowerShell attack techniques
Steps
- Parse EVTX files extracting Event 4104 script block text and metadata
- Reassemble multi-part script blocks using ScriptBlock ID correlation
- Scan script text for AMSI bypass indicators and obfuscation patterns
- Detect encoded command execution and base64 payloads
- Identify download cradles, credential dumping, and lateral movement commands
- Score and prioritize findings by threat severity
Expected Output
{
"total_events": 1247,
"suspicious_events": 23,
"amsi_bypass_attempts": 2,
"encoded_commands": 8,
"download_cradles": 5,
"credential_access": 3
