SysmonSimulator

SysmonSimulator is an Open source Windows event simulation utility created in C language, that can be used to simulate most of the attacks using WINAPIs. This can be used by Blue teams for testing the EDR detections and correlation rules. I have created it to generate attack data for the relevant Sysmon Event IDs.

Blogpost:

This tool has been explained in the blog post.

Attacks are covered for important Windows events as follows:

  • Process Events: Process Creation, Process Termination, Process Access
  • File Events: File Create, File Create Time Change, File Stream Creation Hash, File Delete, File Delete Detected
  • Named Pipes Events: Named Pipe Creation, Named Pipe Connect events
  • Registry Actions: Registry Object create and delete, Value Set, Key and Value Rename
  • Image Loading
  • Network Connections
  • Create Remote Thread
  • Raw Access Read
  • DNS Query
  • WMI Events
  • Clipboard Capture
  • Process Image Tampering
