WEFFLES

WEFFLES is a way to build a fast, free, and effective threat hunting console using Windows Event Forwarding and PowerBI.

Jessica Payne (https://twitter.com/jepaynemsft) originally wrote full blog post on it at https://aka.ms/weffles.

Purpose

This lab has been designed with defenders in mind. Its primary purpose is to allow the user to quickly build a Windows Event Collector server that comes pre-loaded with security logging configurations.

Primary Features

  • Windows Event Collector service started and set to 'auto'
  • Windows event subscriptions created for standard logging of security-related EventIDs
  • Reg keys created inside GPO to configure client computers to push subscription-related events to Windows event collector

Planned Updates

  • Integrate Sysmon installation and configuration using mdavis332's open-sourced configuration, forked from ion-storm which is heavily built upon SwiftOnSecurity's
  • Integrate Graylog setup/config/alerting

Requirements

  • Server 2012R2 or higher joined to domain
  • User running script must do so in an elevated PowerShell session using domain creds which allow for creating/editing GPOs

Quickstart

  1. Run wefsetup.ps1 on the server you want to act as your central Windows Collector and it will turn on necessary services and import subscriptions.

Installed Tools

  • Sysmon
