A contextualized addendum to Microsoft's recommended driver block rules
Raw
DriverBlockRuleReference.md

Each driver entry below includes the following attributes:

  • Rule - A unique name applied to a driver. Drivers listed below with a rule name starting with ID_ are derived from the WDAC configuration.
  • Rule Classification - The type of abusable driver. The following rule classifications are currently supported:
    1. Exploitation of Vulnerable Driver - A legitimate but vulnerable driver that is prone to abuse by an attacker
    2. Dual-purpose Driver - A legitimate driver that is designed as a "power tool" of sorts to facilitate directly modifying kernel data structures that can be used for both benign and malicious purposes
    3. Malicious Driver - Known malicious, signed drivers
  • Known Abuse in the Wild - Indicates if there is evidence of abuse in the wild
  • Certificate Revoked - Indicates if the related certificate was revoked
  • Relevant File Attributes - File attributes that may assist in building broader detection coverage or to facilitate variant hunting.
  • Block Type - For driver entries that originate from the Microsoft recommended driver block rules, this specifies a description of how Microsoft recommends blocking/auditing the respective drivers in a robust fashion. The following block types are listed below:
    1. Authenticode Hash - It is recommended that the driver be blocked based on a hash of just the portions of a Portable Executable (PE) file that are considered for signature validation.
    2. OriginalFileName - It is recommended that the driver be blocked solely on the OriginalFileName in the VERSIONINFO resource.
    3. Signer, OriginalFileName, and FileVersion (up to X.X.X.X) - It is recommended that the driver be blocked based on its signer, OriginalFileName, and a specific range of vulnerable versions.
    4. Signer - It is recommended that the driver be blocked based solely on its signer.
  • Sources - A list of file hashes identified in VirusTotal that correspond to the driver at hand. It is recommended at a minimum to establish detection coverage for these files hashes. Note: these hashes were obtained at a snapshot in time and will not reflect the totality of all possible drivers that match the corresponding rule.
  • References - A list of relevant reference links that may offer more details and context about the abusable driver.
