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 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: - PipeName|re: \\mojo\.5688\.8052\.(?:183894939787088877|35780273329370473)[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\wkssvc_?[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\ntsvcs[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\DserNamePipe[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\SearchTextHarvester[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\mypipe-(?:f|h)[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\windows\.update\.manager[0-9a-f]{2,3} - PipeName|re: \\ntsvcs_[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\scerpc_?[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\PGMessagePipe[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\MsFteWds[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\f4c3[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\fullduplex_[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\msrpc_[0-9a-f]{4} - PipeName|re: \\win\\msrpc_[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\f53f[0-9a-f]{2}$ - PipeName|re: \\rpc_[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\spoolss_[0-9a-f]{2} - PipeName|re: \\Winsock2\\CatalogChangeListener-[0-9a-f]{3}-0, condition: selection falsepositives: - Unknown level: critical
