Each rewritten description now states both what the skill does (concrete capability, named tools/artifacts) and an explicit when-to-use trigger, improving agent discovery/activation. Grounded in each skill's own body; changes confined to the `description` field only (bodies and all other frontmatter untouched). Produced by a gated audit->rewrite->recheck loop (548 -> 0 flagged) with a sampled anti-invention check (0 ungrounded). Schema: 817/817 pass. Framework-ID gate: 0 defects.

# Hunting for Process Injection Techniques
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Process injection (MITRE ATT&CK T1055) allows adversaries to execute code in the address space of another process, enabling defense evasion and privilege escalation. This skill detects injection techniques via Sysmon Event ID 8 (CreateRemoteThread), Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess with suspicious access rights), and analysis of source-target process relationships to distinguish legitimate from malicious injection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When investigating security incidents that require hunting for process injection techniques
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
- Sysmon installed with Event IDs 8 and 10 enabled
|
|
- Process creation logs (Sysmon Event ID 1 or Windows 4688)
|
|
- Python 3.8+ with standard library
|
|
- JSON-formatted Sysmon event logs
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Parse Sysmon Events** — Ingest Event IDs 1, 8, and 10 from JSON log files
|
|
2. **Detect CreateRemoteThread** — Flag Event ID 8 with suspicious source-target process pairs
|
|
3. **Analyze ProcessAccess Rights** — Identify Event ID 10 with dangerous access masks (PROCESS_VM_WRITE, PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD)
|
|
4. **Build Process Relationship Graph** — Map source-to-target injection relationships
|
|
5. **Filter Known Legitimate Pairs** — Exclude known benign injection patterns (AV, debuggers, system processes)
|
|
6. **Score Injection Severity** — Apply risk scoring based on source process, target process, and access rights
|
|
7. **Generate Hunt Report** — Produce structured report with MITRE sub-technique mapping
|
|
|
|
## Expected Output
|
|
|
|
- JSON report of detected injection events with severity scores
|
|
- Process injection relationship graph
|
|
- MITRE ATT&CK sub-technique mapping (T1055.001-T1055.012)
|
|
- False positive exclusion recommendations
