SilkETW: Because Free Telemetry is...Free!

In the following example, we will collect process event data from the
  Kernel provider and use image loads to identify Mimikatz execution. We
  can collect the required data with this command:

 
   
     

SilkETW.exe -t kernel -kk           ImageLoad -ot file -p       C:\Users\b33f\Desktop\mimikatz.json

 

With data in hand it is easy to sort, grep and filter for the
  properties we are interested in (Figure 2).

Yara Integration

 

SilkETW has a number of command line flags that allow the user to
  restrict the events that are captured. These include the event name,
  the process ID, the process name, and the opcode. To further enhance
  this capability, Yara support is included to filter or tag trace
  events. While Yara has immediate defensive connotations, the reader is
  reminded that Yara rules are equally useful to augment research capabilities.

 

In the following contrived example we will use a Yara rule to detect
    Seatbelt
  execution in memory through Cobalt Strike's execute-assembly.

 
   
     

rule           Seatbelt_GetTokenInformation   {                 strings:           $s1 =           "ManagedInteropMethodName=GetTokenInformation" ascii           wide nocase           $s2 =           "TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS" ascii wide nocase                     $s3 = /bool\(native int,valuetype \w+\.\w+\/\w+,native           int,int32,int32&/           $s4 = "locals           (int32,int64,int64,int64,int64,int32&           pinned,bool,int32)" ascii wide nocase                   condition:           all of ($s*)         }

 

We can start collecting .NET ETW data with the following command
  (note here the "-yo" option indicating that we will only
  write the Yara matches to file!):

 
   
     

SilkETW.exe -t user -pn           Microsoft-Windows-DotNETRuntime -uk 0x2038 -l verbose -y           C:\Users\b33f\Desktop\yara -yo matches -ot file -p       C:\Users\b33f\Desktop\yara.json

 

We can see at runtime that our Yara rule was hit (Figure 3).

Note also that we are only capturing a subset of the
  "Microsoft-Windows-DotNETRuntime" events (0x2038),
  specifically: JitKeyword, InteropKeyword, LoaderKeyword and NGenKeyword.

 

Roadmap

 

As outlined in the introduction, SilkETW is currently a research
  focused data-collection tool with robust yet rudimentary capabilities.
  Upcoming changes for SilkETW include, but are not limited to:

 

• Offer users the option to
      write trace data to disk as *.etl files.
• Create a separate
      instance of SilkETW that operates in a headless mode as a service
      and reads a configuration file.
• Take input from the
      community on any features that would be beneficial to ETW
    research.
