EventID 15: FileCreateStreamHash recording N times in eventviewer #121

Open Yuvraj-Takey opened 4 years ago

Yuvraj-Takey commented 4 years ago

After enabling the FileCreateStreamHash event in sysmon, I am downloading one file from the browser, but in the event viewer, it is showing N(sometimes 3,4) entries of the same file (This same problem I am facing in my WinAPI code, there also I am receiving N event logs of the same entry). This is my config file

`

* Temp\7z Startup .bat .cmd .hta .lnk .ppt .ps1 .ps2 .reg .jse .vb .vbe .vbs .pdf .msi .exe .dll

This is not a Sysmon issue, this is due to the behaviour of urlmon.dll https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/platform-apis/ms775123%28v%3Dvs.85%29, the library responsible for downloading files via HTTP. This opens and closes the stream multiple times to append MOTW information.

@olafhartong okay, thanks for the information. Is it any way to reduce this redundant event log to 1, through the system or sysmon utility?

olafhartong commented 4 years ago

not as far as I know, sorry
