Binary Rename static detection
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Find BinaryRename of commonly abused Living off the Land Binaries
Name: Get-BinaryRename.ps1
Date: 2019-05-31
Version: 0.2
Author: Matt Green (@mgreen27)
Requirements:
Get-FileHash Powershell 4.0+
Rest Powershell 2+
.DESCRIPTION
The script leverages Powershell VersionInfo method.
It checks all exe files and compares OriginalName to FileName and special cases.
The script will also generate a hash and add to the output for identification.
Time for run is included in the script and can easily be commented out.
.EXAMPLE
Get-BinaryRename.ps1
.NOTES
Add additional OriginalNames to the OriginalNames hashtable to expand detection.
