Search Fields - Processes and Enriched Events

Version: v2

The following table lists the fields that can be returned in the response or used for searching with the Carbon Black Cloud Platform Search API for Processes or Platform Search API for Enriched Events.

Using the Schema

View the definition of each field, default values, whether it is required, searchable and/or tokenized. You can also see accepted values and routes supported per each field.

Possible routes

  • EVENT - Returns data about an observable occurrence on an endpoint
  • ENRICHED_EVENT - Returns endpoint data that has been analyzed against typical attacker behavior and flagged as potentially malicious
  • PROCESS - Returns data about instances where a program was executed on an endpoint
  • FACET - These fields can be used for sorting and filtering search queries or returning most prevalent values.
  • DETAILS - Returns the full set of data for Processes or Enriched Events
  • ENRICHED_EVENT DETAILS - Returns the full set of data only for Enriched Events
  • SUMMARY / TREE - Returns fields from a process summary search

Note: For fields where the Routes Supported column contains no entries, this means this field is not returned by any API route - it is only useable in the search request.

Additional indicators

  • TOKENIZED - Can be searched by a partial phrase
  • Searchable - Indicates that the field can be used in the criteria, exclusion or query elements of search requests
  • Aggregation Only - Indicates that the field is only returned for the Aggregation endpoint for Enriched Events
  • Processes Only - Indicates that the field is only searchable for Processes

Limitations

When searching across both Endpoint Standard and Enterprise EDR data, if you combine fields that are only available in each of the products, you will receive zero results. For example:

  • If you search ttp:NETWORK_ACCESS you will get results on both the “Enriched Events” and “Processes” search endpoints (requires Endpoint Standard)
  • If you search netconn_count:[1 TO *], you will only get results on “Processes” search endpoint (requires Enterprise EDR)
  • If you perform the search ttp:NETWORK_ACCESS AND netconn_count:[1 TO *], you will get no results because NO events have both Endpoint Standard-required “ttp"and Enterprise EDR-required “netconn_count” fields
  • Any field can be searched on individually

Data Conversions

IPv6 data format to standard IPv6 notation

Use this if you are migrating from Endpoint Standard fields (used in integrationServices API routes) to Platform Search fields (including Process, Process Events and Enriched Event searches). The IPv6 netconn fields in Platform Search do not return in API responses using a standard IPv6 notation (it does not include colons) in order to make it easier to sort, use the big integer library, and perform subnet searches.

  • Example return value for fields like netconn_ipv6, netconn_remote_ipv6, netconn_local_ipv6: FF0200000000000000000000000000FB

  • To convert the notation to standard IPv6, you must insert a colon character between every four alphanumeric characters, or run the following function:

    const stringIP = d.replace(/(.{4})/g, '$1:').slice(0, -1);

  • Result: FF02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:00FB

However, when searching on these IPv6 fields, you must use escaped colon-separated notation e.g. netconn_ipv6:"2607:F8B0:4006:081B:0000:0000:0000:200E"

IPv4 integer format to dotted decimal notation

  • IPv4 netconn fields return their value in “integer” format rather than the more common “dotted decimal” notation.
  • The conversion from IPv4 integers to dotted decimal is common and can be validated with tools like this converter
  • Example: If you received netconn_remote_ipv4 = 911598478, the dotted decimal equivalent would be 54.85.227.142

Special Tokenizations

Some fields are tokenized to allow more efficient searches

File Path Tokenization

Fields: process_name, parent_name, filemod_name, childproc_name, crossproc_name, modload_name, scriptload_name, regmod_name

Search for path hierarchies. Use slash (/) character or escaped backslash (\\) characters and enclose in double quotes if path contains colon or space characters. Exclude any leading path separator. File extension searching also supported.

Search examples: process_name:"c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe" filemod_name:.wcry regmod_name:myregkey/myregvalue modload_name:downloads\\myfile.exe parent_name:"c:/program files"

Domain name Tokenization

Fields: netconn_domain

Search for any part of the domain. Start or end with ‘.’ to only look for a prefix or suffix.

Search examples: netconn_domain:.google.com netconn_domain:.ru netconn_domain:www.google.com

IPv4 Address Tokenization

Fields: netconn_ipv4

Search examples: netconn_ipv4:192.168.0.10 netconn_ipv4:192.168.0.0/24

IPv6 Address Tokenization

Fields: netconn_ipv6

Search examples: netconn_ipv6:"2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334" netconn_ipv6:"2001:db8::/127"

Command Line Tokenization

Fields: process_cmdline

Words in the command line can be searched, along with switches (-x /x) and file extensions.

Search examples: process_cmdline:"d:/path/myprogram.vbs /v" process_cmdline:"d:" process_cmdline:.vbs process_cmdline:"/v"
