TryHackMe - Threat Hunting Simulator - Health Hazard

  Scenario overview After months of juggling content calendars and caffeine-fueled brainstorming, co-founder Tom Whiskers finally carved out time to build the company’s first website. It was supposed to be simple: follow a tutorial, install a few packages, and bring the brand to life with lightweight JavaScript magic.   But between sleepless nights and copy-pasted code, Tom started feeling off. Not sick exactly, just off. The terminal scrolled with reassuring green text, the site loaded fine, and everything looked normal.   Then, a strange file appeared on the system. No one could say where it came from.

This post will walk you through the entire attack chain, phase by phase, showing you how to find each piece of evidence using Elastic KQL queries. Phase 1: Initial Access & Execution What Happened: The attack began when the user perry.parsons on workstation WKSTN-03 needed a 7-Zip tool. He googled it, clicked a typosquatted link ( 7zipp.org ), and downloaded a trojanized installer. This installer executed a PowerShell script ( 7z.ps1 ) directly from the attacker's server to establish the initial foothold. How to Find It: You are looking for a PowerShell process that was likely spawned by a browser and contains a command to download and execute a script ( iwr for Invoke-WebRequest and iex for Invoke-Expression ). KQL Query...
