This analytic detects the use of PowerShell to execute the 'quser' and 'logoff' commands in sequence. This combination indicates an attempt to identify active user sessions and then forcibly terminate one or more of them. This activity could be part of legitimate administrative tasks, but it can also be indicative of unauthorized access attempts, session manipulation, or an adversary attempting to disrupt user access or cover their tracks. Monitoring for this pattern helps identify potential misuse or malicious activity where a user's access is revoked without proper authorization.

The analytic detects the use of the `net.exe` utility to disable a user account via the command line. This activity is significant as it may indicate an adversary's attempt to disrupt user availability, potentially as a precursor to further malicious actions. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to denial of service for legitimate users, aiding the attacker in maintaining control or covering their tracks.

The following analytic detects the use of net.exe or net1.exe command-line to delete a user account on a system. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process and command-line execution logs. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to impair user accounts or cover tracks during lateral movement. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access removal, disruption of legitimate user activities, or concealment of adversarial actions, complicating incident response and forensic investigations.
