Free Toolkit For Incident Response - Crowd Response

CrowdResponse:
                     is a community-based platform that may eventually support as many as 25 software modules, each serving a different aspect of the incident response process, Kurtz says. This week's release includes three modules: @dirtlist, @pslist, and @yara.


@dirlist

This is the directory-listing module. This sounds quite simple, but it is actually extremely powerful.
The CrowdResponse DirList module enables the following features:
  • Verify and display digital signature information
  • Utilize a path exclusion/inclusion regular expression filter that acts on the full path name
  • Use a file wildcard mask to limit processing to specific file name components
  • SHA256 and MD5 file hashing
  • Perform "quick" hash of only the first 512 bytes of the file
  • Option to not hash files greater than a given size
  • Display application resource information
  • Select recursive listings and control recursion depth
  • Display creation, modification and access times for files
  • Optionally process only Windows executable (PE) files

@pslist

This is the active running process listing module.
The CrowdResponse PSList module enables the following features:
  • Verify the digital signature of the process executable
  • Obtain process command line
  • Obtain detailed PE file information for each process executable
  • Perform SHA256 and MD5 hashes of process executables
  • Enumerate loaded modules for each process
  • Control PE output detail level of function names for imports and exports
  • Control PE output detail level of resource information
  • Control format (nested or flat) for PE file resource information
  • Check for process thread injection

@yara

The YARA processing module is the one I am most excited about. YARA will be familiar to many as an incredibly useful tool aimed at helping malware researchers identify and classify malware. It can act on files on disk or in-memory process images and runs a set of pattern matching rules against the target of investigation.
While we have incorporated a fully functional version of YARA into CrowdResponse, we have made it very simple to use for analyzing all active process binaries and memory. Along with the regular ability to target a specific single-process ID or one or more files, we can automatically enumerate all running processes and launch YARA rules against them all by simply specifying a single tool option. This enables quick and easy evaluation of a system without resorting to cumbersome scripting. This functionality greatly speeds the scan time and aids a responder in quickly pinpointing adversary activity on a suspect system.
The CrowdResponse YARA module enables the following features:
  • Scan memory of all currently active running processes
  • Scan on-disk files of all currently active running processes
  • Download YARA rule files from a provided URL
  • Control target path recursion depth
  • Utilize a target path exclusion/inclusion regular expression filter that acts on the full path name
  • Use a file target wildcard mask to limit processing to specific file name components
  • Option to only show positive hits
  • Option to specify YARA rule file name mask
  • Utilize a YARA file inclusion regular expression filter that acts on the full path name
  • Scan all loaded module files of active processes
  • Operate on a single process ID
  • Optional recursion into provided YARA rules directory

Crowd Response is a lightweight Windows console application designed to aid in the gathering of system information for incident response and security engagements. The application contains numerous modules, each of them invoked by providing specific command line parameters to the main application. Modules are all built into the main application in C++ language utilizing the Win32 API to achieve their functionality.
Crowd Response results may be viewed in a variety of ways, particularly when leveraging CrowdStrike’s CRconvert. By default, output from Crowd Response is provided in an XML file. CRconvert will flatten this XML to CSV, TSV or HTML, if desired. The various format options were created to support the different needs and analysis preferences of the end user.
Supported Operating Systems: The tool runs on 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows from XP and above.
