WTF Behavior Description:
Nothing too exciting, just another software component that runs encoded powershell. While tuning an alert I observed two commands like: powershell.exe -NoProfile -EncodedCommand VwByAGkAdABlA ...... There appeared to be no logged parent process, at least in the environment where I observed it. The commands decode to:
Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSiSCSIInitiator_SendTargetPortalClass | Foreach-Object { Write-Host $_.PortalAddress } and Write-Host (Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSiSCSIInitiator_MethodClass).iSCSINodeName.
