Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
During an advanced hunting investigation in Microsoft Defender XDR, you need to locate any process that attempted to start PowerShell with a Base64-encoded command (for example, the command line contains "powershell.exe -enc"). Which advanced hunting table should you query to retrieve the full command-line string for each process creation event?
The DeviceProcessEvents table records every process creation on protected endpoints and stores the complete command-line string in its CommandLine field. By filtering this table for values such as "powershell.exe" and "-enc", you can identify instances where PowerShell was launched with Base64-encoded input. Although tables like DeviceNetworkEvents, DeviceRegistryEvents, and DeviceFileEvents include an InitiatingProcessCommandLine value for the process that triggered the respective network, registry, or file event, they are not guaranteed to capture all process launches. DeviceProcessEvents is the authoritative source for comprehensive process-creation details.
