Description
The endpoint performed abnormal DCOM RPC activity to a remote host.
Attacker's Goals
- Attackers may attempt to gain persistence or move laterally over the network by executing code on remote hosts using the DCOM RPC interface.
- The DCOM RPC interface is used to remotely invoke registered COM applications on remote hosts.
Investigative actions
- Review the action of the initiated COM application on the remote host.
- Correlate the RPC call from the source host and understand which software initiated it.
- Verify that this isn't IT activity.
