QuestionQ15

VerifiedEvent Search

When investigating two related processes in Advanced Event Search, how does ContextProcessId relate to TargetProcessId?

Explanation

TargetProcessId identifies the spawning process, while the spawned process records that process as its context. Thus, a child process’s ContextProcessId matches the parent process’s TargetProcessId. CrowdStrike’s process-correlation examples join ContextProcessId to TargetProcessId to relate activity to its responsible process.
