How can I search for a HASH list with live discover?

Hello.

I´m trying to create a query that allows me to check if a HASH from a list (with a comma separated) is located on some device.

The problem I have when consulting the hash table is that it does not show me any value if I do not define a directory first, but I need to search for those hashes in any partition of the device and both in linux and windows.

For example:

define Variable  $$sha_list$$ = hash1,hash2,hash3  (these hashes belong to files located in c:\windows\temp)

WITH split(sha) AS (
SELECT value
FROM
JSON_EACH('["' || REPLACE(REPLACE('$$sha_list$$', ' ', ''), ',', '","') || '"]')
)

SELECT * from hash

INNER JOIN split ON hash.sha256 =split.sha

WHERE hash.directory like 'C:\%%'

this query fails, but if I change the value of hash.directory for the next, the query works fine

WHERE hash.directory like 'C:\W%\T%'

How can I search a list of hash on a devices?

  • The hash table is more like a function, it doesn't hold a database of checksums of all files and I don't think you can tell it to recurse from a directory.

    If you have a hash variable called
    sha_1_hash_to_find which has the value aa105b0320b14ef0e7b89cbeb738b9f3feae43b7

    If it was in C:\windows\temp\ it will find the file if the hash exists with:

    select path, directory, sha1 from hash where directory = "C:\windows\temp\" and sha1 = '$$sha_1_hash_to_find$$'

    Without knowing the directory, I don't believe you can check all files.  Maybe if you have a list of common directories to search it would work, e.g.

    select path, directory, sha1 from hash where directory in( "C:\windows\temp\", "C:\temp\") and sha1 = '$$sha_1_hash_to_find$$'

    But you still need to hint where to look.  Maybe some recursive query could do it but it would be expensive I would think to check all files on disk

  • thank you very much!.
    In early versions of XDr there was a "threat Search" option in the menu, which allowed these searches.
    I don't know why they have removed it.
