title: Invocation Of Crypto-classes From The "Cryptography" PowerShell Namespace.
id: ad856965-f44d-42a8-945e-bbf7bd03d05a
status: experimental
description: |
The PowerShell namespace "System.Security.Cryptography" provides classes for on-the-fly encryption and decryption.
This analytic detects the invocation of said classes that can be used for e.g. decrypting malicious payload for defense evasion.
