# DeepWhite
Detective safelisting using Sysmon event logs.
Parses the Sysmon event logs, grabbing the SHA256 hashes from process creation (event 1), driver load (event 6, sys), and image load (event 7, DLL) events.
## VirusTotal and Safelisting setup
Setting up VirusTotal hash submissions and safelisting:
The hash checker requires Post-VirusTotal:
- https://github.com/darkoperator/Posh-VirusTotal
It also requires a VirusTotal API key:
- https://www.virustotal.com/en/documentation/public-api/
Then configure your VirusTotal API key:
```powershell
set-VTAPIKey -APIKey <API Key>
```
The script assumes a personal API key, and waits 15 seconds between submissions.
## Sysmon setup
Sysmon is required: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon
Must log the SHA256 hash, DeepWhite will ignore the others.
This minimal Sysmon 6.0 config will log the proper events/hashes. Note that image (DLL) logging may create performance issues. This config ignores DLLs signed by Microsoft (which should lighten the load), but please test!
```xml
<Sysmon schemaversion="3.3">
<!-- Capture SHA256 hashes only -->
<HashAlgorithms>SHA256</HashAlgorithms>
<EventFiltering>
<!-- Log all drivers (.sys) except if the signature contains Microsoft or Windows -->
<DriverLoad onmatch="exclude">
<Signature condition="contains">microsoft</Signature>
<Signature condition="contains">windows</Signature>
</DriverLoad>
<!-- Log all images (.dll) except if the signature contains Microsoft or Windows -->
<!-- Note: this may create a performance issue, please test -->
<ImageLoad onmatch="exclude">
<Signature condition="contains">microsoft</Signature>
<Signature condition="contains">windows</Signature>
</ImageLoad>
<!-- Do not log process termination -->
<ProcessTerminate onmatch="include" />
<!-- Log process creation -->
<ProcessCreate onmatch="exclude" />
</EventFiltering>
</Sysmon>
```
These are the events used by DeepBlueCLI and DeepWhite.
You can go *much* further than this with Sysmon. The Sysinternals Sysmon page has a good basic configuration: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon
Also see @swiftonsecurity's awesome Sysmon config here: https://github.com/SwiftOnSecurity/sysmon-config
## Generating a Safelist
Generate a custom safelist on Windows (note: this is optional):
```
PS C:\> Get-ChildItem c:\windows\system32 -Include '*.exe','*.dll','*.sys','*.com' -Recurse | Get-FileHash| Export-Csv -Path safelist.csv
```
Note: this will generate (harmless) 'PermissionDenied' warnings for locked files, etc. They may be ignored.
