<p>Identifies adversary behavior that launches commands or invokes APIs to enumerate active processes (e.g., tasklist.exe, Get-Process, or CreateToolhelp32Snapshot). Detects execution combined with parent process lineage, network session context, or remote origin.</p>

Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=4688 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=10 | DC0035 Process Access |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
ParentProcessName | Used to scope suspicious discovery from non-interactive or non-standard parent processes like Office macros, WMI, or script engines |
CommandLinePattern | Adversaries may obfuscate or vary process discovery commands (e.g., aliases, PowerShell variants) |
TimeWindow | Helps detect bursty discovery behavior within a short timeframe |
