Question Image

Why are there six pending-containment events?

Explanation

A device-containment operation produces an event when the containment change is requested and a corresponding event when the request reaches its completed status. Thus, three containment operations create six pending-containment events.

QuestionQ2

VerifiedEvent Search

You are investigating several NetworkConnectIP4 events, all with the same ContextProcessId of 123456789.

Which query will display the process responsible for these NetworkConnectIP4 events?

Explanation

For CrowdStrike network events, ContextProcessId correlates to TargetProcessId in ProcessRollup2 and SyntheticProcessRollup2 process events. Filtering those process events for TargetProcessId = 123456789 identifies the process responsible for the network connections.

QuestionQ3

VerifiedEvent Search

Falcon is producing detections for a malicious file, evil.exe, across several hosts and varying file paths as end users try to run it.

Which query can proactively hunt for locations where the file exists before a user executes it?

Explanation

A broad hunt should search both ProcessRollup2 and SyntheticProcessRollup2 telemetry, match evil.exe case-insensitively, extract the final filename from the image path, and aggregate the results by host, path, and command-line details. This identifies occurrences across hosts without limiting the search to a single agent ID or a particular user-path pattern.

QuestionQ4

VerifiedEvent Search

You have created an Advanced Event Search query to identify suspicious PowerShell usage and want to show its results on a dashboard.

How can you display this query in a dashboard?

Explanation

CrowdStrike Falcon custom dashboards can display Advanced Event Search output by creating a customized dashboard widget from the search query. A saved search, scheduled search, or scheduled workflow serves a different purpose and does not directly add the query results to a dashboard.

Which statement filters all events associated with a new scheduled task registered by the user "Doris"?
