Hello, I've been working on this rule for some time now, and it is only partially working.

I am able to see the net.exe related alerts populate, and used to see 'systeminfo', 'hostname', 'nslookup', now i do not.

I can not get the 'ipconfig /all', 'wmic process list full', 'netstat -an', 'route print', or 'route point' arguments.

Here is my EQL rule:  
'''  
process where event.type in ("start", "process\_started") and  
(  
(process.command\_line : "route print" or  
process.args : "hostname" or  
process.args : "ver" or  
process.args : "systeminfo\*" or  
process.args : "ipconfig /all" or  
process.args : "_netstat -an_" or  
process.command\_line : "_route point_" or  
process.args : "nslookup" or  
process.command\_line : "wmic process list full" or  
process.name : "net.exe" or process.name : "net1.exe") and  
(  
process.args : "users" or  
process.command\_line : "_localgroup_" or  
process.command\_line : "_group /domain_"  
)  
)  
'''  
Any help is appreciated!
