base64-utf-detect

What-is

This is a tool to check if the data in the evtx file is base64 encoded and if it is, it will decode(utf-8/utf-16 le/utf-16 be/binary) it and print it out.

Target EventID

if ch == "Security" && id == 4688 {
    let v = data["Event"]["EventData"]["CommandLine"].clone();
    values.push(v);
} else if ch == "Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational" && id == 1 {
    let v = data["Event"]["EventData"]["CommandLine"].clone();
    values.push(v);
    let v = data["Event"]["EventData"]["ParentCommandLine"].clone();
    values.push(v);
} else if ch == "Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational" && id == 4104 {
    let v = data["Event"]["EventData"]["ScriptBlockText"].clone();
    values.push(v);
} else if ch == "Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational" && id == 4103 {
    let v = data["Event"]["EventData"]["Payload"].clone();
    values.push(v);
}
