Real time Response

NOTE: PSFalcon has a custom command named Invoke-FalconRTR that is designed to perform all the necessary steps to initiate a session with one or more hosts, send a command and output the results.

Invoke-FalconRTR -Command ls -Arguments C:\Windows -HostIds <id>, <id>

If the hosts you're targeting are currently offline, you can add your Real-time Response commands to the "offline queue" using the -QueueOffline parameter.

Invoke-FalconRTR -Command runscript -Arguments "-CloudFile='HelloWorld'" -HostIds <id>, <id> -QueueOffline $true

If you find that your script needs to be more complex, you can follow the instructions below to create a custom Real-time Response workflow with multiple commands.

NOTE: PSFalcon includes commands for each Real-time Response permission level.

• Invoke-FalconCommand, Confirm-FalconCommand
• Invoke-FalconResponderCommand, Confirm-FalconResponderCommand
• Invoke-FalconAdminCommand, Confirm-FalconAdminCommand

Send Real-time Response commands to a batch of hosts

Start a batch session

$Batch = Start-FalconSession -HostIds <id>, <id>

Send a command using appropriate permissions

Invoke-FalconCommand -Command ls -Arguments C:\Windows -BatchId $Batch.batch_id

Refresh the session to prevent expiration

NOTE: Required when you expect to exceed the default session expiration time (5 minutes).

Update-FalconSession -BatchId $Batch.batch_id

Send Real-time Response commands to a single host

Start a session

$Session = Start-FalconSession -HostId <id>

Send a command using appropriate permissions

$Command = Invoke-FalconCommand -Command ls -Arguments C:\Windows -SessionId $Session.session_id

Retrieve command results

Confirm-FalconCommand -CloudRequestId $Command.cloud_request_id

Refresh the session to prevent expiration

NOTE: Required when you expect to exceed the default session expiration time (10 minutes).

Update-FalconSession -SessionId $Session.session_id

Use Real-time Response to upload and run an executable

NOTE: The command Invoke-FalconDeploy was developed to support mass-deployment of Falcon Forensics. It is designed to upload a file to your ‘Put’ Files library, create a session with target hosts, push the file to those hosts, then execute it and output the results to CSV.

NOTE: Because Real-time Response does not interact with logged in users, the executable must be able to be run silently and without user interaction.

Invoke-FalconDeploy -HostIds <id>, <id> -Path $pwd\File.exe [-QueueOffline]

Use Real-time Response to download a file from multiple hosts

$Get = Invoke-FalconRTR -Command get -Arguments "C:\example.exe" -HostIds <id>, <id>

Once the batch 'get' request has been submitted using Invoke-FalconRTR, you can check the status of each batch_get_cmd_req_id to see if the file is ready to download.

$Confirm = ($Get.batch_get_cmd_req_id | Group-Object).Name | ForEach-Object {
    Confirm-FalconGetFile -BatchGetCmdReqId $_
}

The upload from the host has completed once the file has populated sha256 and created_at values. You can use the sha256 and session_id values to download the files, and in the following example, each file will be downloaded and saved in your local directory, using the sha256 and aid values to name the archive.

$Confirm | Where-Object { $_.sha256 -and $_.created_at -and $_.session_id } | ForEach-Object {
    $Param = @{
        Sha256 = $_.sha256
        SessionId = $_.session_id
        Path = "$pwd\$($_.aid)_$($_.sha256).7z"
    }
    Receive-FalconGetFile @Param
}

Find Real-time Response sessions

NOTE: Only sessions created by your OAuth2 API Client will be visible using the following commands.

Get-FalconSession [-Detailed] [-All]

Retrieve detail about Real-time Response sessions

NOTE: Only sessions created by your OAuth2 API Client will be visible using the following commands.

Get-FalconSession -Ids <id>, <id> -Queue

Retrieve detail about queued Real-time Response sessions

NOTE: PSFalcon has a custom command named Get-FalconQueue which will create a CSV file with information about sessions that have pending queued commands or have been created in the last 7 days (by default). If you wish to get more specific, you can use Get-FalconSession to find queued sessions, and the command below to get detailed information.

Get-FalconQueue [-Days]

Manage Real-time Response scripts

Create a new Real-time Response script

Send-FalconScript -Path $pwd\hello_world.ps1 -Platform windows -PermissionType group

Find Real-time Response scripts

Get-FalconScript [-Detailed] [-All]

Modify Real-time Response scripts

Edit-FalconScript -Id <id>

Delete Real-time Response scripts

Remove-FalconScript -Ids <id>, <id>

Manage Real-time Response ‘put’ files

Create a new Real-time Response ‘put’ file

Send-FalconPutFile -Path $pwd\File.exe

Find Real-time Response ‘put’ files

Get-FalconPutFile [-Detailed] [-All]

Delete Real-time Response ‘put’ files

Remove-FalconPutFile -Ids <id>
