CCFH-202 CrowdStrike Certified Falcon Hunter Questions and Answers

The Mac Sensor report is a pre-defined report that provides a summary view of selected activities on Mac hosts. It shows information such as process execution events, network connection events, file write events, etc. that occurred on Mac hosts within a specified time range. The Mac Sensor report does not identify endpoints that are in Reduced Functionality Mode, provide vulnerability assessment for Mac Operating Systems, or provide a dashboard for Mac related detections.

Event Search data is recorded with UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time zone. UTC is a standard time zone that is used as a reference point for other time zones. PST (Pacific Standard Time), GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), and EST (Eastern Standard Time) are not the time zones that Event Search data is recorded with.

User Search is an Investigate tool that helps you investigate a list of process activity executed by the specified user account. It shows information such as process name, command line, parent process name, parent command line, etc. for each process that was executed by the user account on any host in your environment. It does not show a history of Falcon UI logon activity, a count of failed user logon activity, or a list of DNS queries by the specified user account.

_time is the SPL (Splunk) field name that can be used to automatically convert Unix times (Epoch) to UTC readable time within the Falcon Event Search. It is a default field that shows the timestamp of each event in a human-readable format. utc_time, conv_time, and time are not valid SPL field names for converting Unix times to UTC readable time.

The Process Timeline Link is what you click to jump to a Process Timeline from many pages in Falcon, such as a Hash Search. The Process Timeline Link is an icon that looks like three horizontal bars with dots on them. It appears next to each process name or ID on various pages in Falcon, such as Hash Search results, Detection details, Event Search results, etc. Clicking on it will open a new tab with the Process Timeline for that process. The PID, the Process ID or Parent Process ID, and the CID are not what you click to jump to a Process Timeline.

The Falcon Detections page will attempt to decode Encoded PowerShell Command line parameters when the -Command parameter is present. The -Command parameter allows PowerShell to execute a specified script block or string. If the script block or string is encoded using Base64 or other methods, the Falcon Detections page will try to decode it and show the original command. The -Hidden, -e, and -nop parameters are not related to encoding or decoding PowerShell commands.
