​
Overview

The InterestingProcesses command identifies running processes that are considered “interesting” from a security perspective, including defensive security products (AV, EDR, monitoring tools) and administrative utilities. This helps assess the defensive posture and identify potential obstacles.

​
Syntax

​
Remote Execution

​
Output

Returns information about interesting processes:
  • Process name
  • Process ID (PID)
  • Company name
  • Description
  • Version
  • File path

​
Use Cases

  • Identify security products (AV, EDR, monitoring)
  • Discover admin tools that might detect activity
  • Plan evasion strategies
  • Identify potential process injection targets
  • Assess defensive capabilities

​
Example Output

​
Remote Execution

This command supports remote execution using the -computername parameter.

​
Detection Considerations

Process enumeration is a common reconnaissance activity.
  • WMI Queries: Remote execution generates WMI events
  • API Calls: Uses process enumeration APIs
  • EDR Telemetry: Security products may log this activity
  • Pattern Detection: Multiple enumerations may trigger alerts
