MS Scripting Process Loading Ldap Module
The following analytic detects the execution of MS scripting processes (wscript.exe or cscript.exe) loading LDAP-related modules (Wldap32.dll, adsldp.dll, adsldpc.dll). It leverages Sysmon EventCode 7 to identify these specific DLL loads. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to query LDAP for host information, a behavior observed in FIN7 implants. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to gather detailed Active Directory information, potentially leading to further exploitation or data exfiltration.
