Powershell run an executable which that is executed csrss and wininit


Recommended Posts

I was analysing a machine which I find out a malicious or at least unusul activity. There is a powershell.exe process which is parnet of a conhost.exe process. In the further analysis, I find out this conhost.exe process was parent of csrss and wininit processes. So I wanted to know, this activity can be malicious? if yes, how can I find out more information about these process? I have a memory dump from that machine and also volatility tool for analysis.

Hello, @tlightning  :welcome:
I can guide you to see if there is an actual malware infection. I do have some first questions:

  • Is this your machine ?
  • Do you have direct physical access to it ?
  • Windows version is ?
  • Is this machine a home-user type ? ( as opposed to say, a corporate or organization machine ? )
  • Have you scanned the system with Malwarebytes ?
  • Have you scanned with antivirus ? Microsoft Defender for example.

Please carefully follow the instructions within the following:

I'm infected - What do I do now?

Remember, please be certain to attach (not Copy and Paste) the three (3) resulting report files in your next reply to this topic.
