# Countering AMSI Detection
|
|
|
|
This page explains how to troubleshoot AMSI detections on Office documents.
|
|
This is the typical error message indicating AMSI killed our maldoc:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The script provided in this directory, [again](https://github.com/mgeeky/Penetration-Testing-Tools/tree/master/red-teaming/Self-Signed%20Threat), uses splendid work of [Matt Graeber, @mattifestation](https://twitter.com/mattifestation), namely his [AMSITools.ps1](https://gist.github.com/mgraeber-rc/1eb42d3ec9c2f677e70bb14c3b7b5c9c) script, that pulls AMSI events from Windows' event-log.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Pulling AMSI Events
|
|
|
|
We can pull AMSI events to review more closely what happened thanks to Matt's [AMSITools.ps1](https://gist.github.com/mgraeber-rc/1eb42d3ec9c2f677e70bb14c3b7b5c9c).
|
|
|
|
Follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Disable your Anti-Virus. In Defender, that includes turning off Real-Time Detection option.
|
|
|
|
2. Open up Powershell as Administrator and browse to this script's directory.
|
|
|
|
3. Load up `Get-AMSIScanResult.ps1` script:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PS D:\AMSITools> . .\Get-AMSIScanResult.ps1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. And then - to inspect Office document - simply launch the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PS D:\AMSITools> Get-AMSIScanResult -Interactive
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. You will be prompted with following message:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Trigger AMSI detections now and then press any key to pull AMSI events...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Now re-enable your Anti-Virus, to make sure AMSI provider will be active and Maldoc will get remediated.
|
|
|
|
7. Open up your faulty Maldoc document to ensure AMSI triggers and event gets generated
|
|
|
|
8. After seeing AMSI error dialog, close up Office application and get back to Powershell console.
|
|
|
|
9. Now hit **Enter** in the console and review output or follow instructions.

## Example Event
|
|
|
|
Example event look like following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ProcessId : 30828
|
|
ThreadId : 14248
|
|
TimeCreated : 02/09/2022 16:54:54
|
|
Session : 0
|
|
ScanStatus : 1
|
|
ScanResult : AMSI_RESULT_DETECTED
|
|
AppName : OFFICE_VBA
|
|
ContentName : D:\rmf\output-files\evil2.xlsm
|
|
ContentSize : 680
|
|
OriginalSize : 680
|
|
Content : IXMLDOMDocument2.createelement("obf_someInternalName");
|
|
IXMLDOMElement.nodetypedvalue();
|
|
IXMLDOMDocument2.createelement("obf_someInternalName");
|
|
IXMLDOMElement.nodetypedvalue();
|
|
IXMLDOMDocument2.createelement("obf_someInternalName");
|
|
IXMLDOMElement.nodetypedvalue();
|
|
IWshShell3.run("false", "0", "%WINDIR%\System32\conhost.exe "calc" """);
|
|
|
|
Hash : 6C58AE0705D2CE87ED36E78E6C366118AA407776D898864F92FF5ADC50294268
|
|
ContentFiltered : False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The very last line of `Content` entry tells us, which was the last VBA line of code that generated AMSI event.
