    • Endpoint Standard
    • Enterprise EDR
  • Custom API Key
  • Powershell installed

Carbon Black Cloud Configuration

Custom API Key

The cli requires a Custom API key with the relevant permissions depending on the cmdlet to be used. Check the table below to see what permissionses are need for each cmdlet.

To generate the specific permissions navigate to Carbon Black Cloud and then Settings > API Access > Access Level > Add Access Level. Then to create the API key navigate to Settings > API Access > API Keys.

Installation

From the repo

You can install the CarbonCLI using GitHub following the README.

  1. Clone the repository using SSH or HTTPS

     SSH
 git clone git@github.com:carbonblack/carbon-cli.git

 HTTPS
 git clone https://github.com/carbonblack/carbon-cli.git

  2. Change to the root directory of the project

     cd carbon-cli

  3. Start Powershell

     pwsh

  4. Import the module

     Import-Module ./CarbonCLI/CarbonCLI.psm1

Getting Started

  1. Once you import the module, create a connection or connections to run cmdlets against:

     Connect-CBCServer -Server https://defense.conferdeploy.net/ -Org ABCD1234 -Token ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO123456789/ABCD123456

Note: You need a Custom Key with the proper permissions.

  1. Get help with Carbon Black Cloud CLI cmdlets:

     Get-Help Connect-CBCServer -Full
 Get-Help Get-CBCAlert -Examples

  2. Start using Carbon Black Cloud CLI cmdlets. Below are a few examples showing how to use them:

    a. Get all alerts with minimum severity 5 that are of type CB_ANALYTICS:

     Get-CbcAlert -Severity 5 -Type CB_ANALYTICS

    b. Get all observations for specific alert:

     Get-CbcAlert -Id "c295b8fc-0f5d-7193-3075-0301862c69b7" | Get-CbcObservation

    c. Quarantine all devices that are with os WINDOWS and a specific os version (Windows 10 x64)

     Get-CbcDevice -OS Windows -OSVersion "Windows 10 x64" | Set-CbcDevice -QuarantineEnabled $true

    d. Get all devices with sensor version 3.9.2.2637 and upgrade it to 4.0.1.1358

     Get-CbcDevice -Include @{"sensor_version" = @("3.9.2.2637")} |  Set-CbcDevice -SensorVersion "4.0.1.1358"

  3. Review Demo-Script.ps1 for useful getting-started examples covering the main Carbon Black Cloud concepts.
