The basic configuration is in popular sysmon configuration (https://github.com/SwiftOnSecurity/sysmon-config), but it is worth verifying. You can also use other repo, e.g. https://github.com/Neo23x0/sysmon-config, https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular. How to test detection? You can always use Cobalt Strike, but also you can check powershell script from this site https://svch0st.medium.com/guide-to-named-pipes-and-hunting-for-cobalt-strike-pipes-dc46b2c5f575 detection: selection_MSSE: PipeName|contains|all: - \MSSE- - -server selection_postex: PipeName|startswith: \postex_ selection_status: PipeName|startswith: \status_ selection_msagent: PipeName|startswith: \msagent_ selection_mojo: PipeName|startswith: \mojo_ selection_interprocess: PipeName|startswith: \interprocess_ selection_samr: PipeName|startswith: \samr_ selection_netlogon: PipeName|startswith: \netlogon_ selection_srvsvc: PipeName|startswith: \srvsvc_ selection_lsarpc: PipeName|startswith: \lsarpc_ selection_wkssvc: PipeName|startswith: \wkssvc_ condition: 1 of selection* falsepositives: - Unknown level: critical
