Add grandparent_process
into process
, fight process-related recursion

New feature or request
Currently, the
process
object in has a nestedparent_process
object typed as a Process. This creates two issuesgrandparent_details.cmdline
would be normalized asevidences.[0].process.parent_process.parent_process.cmd_line
. This level of nesting is hard to grok unless the end user (analyst, det. engineer, etc.) was familiar with the concept.process.parent_process.parent_process
.In the short term, it would be easier to have a new Object of
grandparent_process
added. This avoids an extra level of nesting to avoid mistakes with mapping and analysis, and accommodates Crowdstrike Alerts, Detects, Falcon Data Replicator events (several dozen in fact), and Defender XDR/Advanced Hunting tables such asDeviceFileInfo
andDeviceProcessInfo
.Longer term, it would make sense to have dedicated
parent_process
andgrandparent_process
objects that do not have any recursion present. I have never seen a tool withgreat_grandparent_process
and Evidences[] already supports multiple entries as it is for this type of modeling.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
