AN0536 Analytic 0536
Windows

Drive enumeration using PowerShell (`Get-PSDrive`), `wmic logicaldisk`, or Win32 API indicative of local volume enumeration by non-admin users or executed outside of baseline system inventory scripts.

WinEventLog:Sysmon EventCode=1
[user_context] Non-system accounts performing drive enumeration may be higher fidelity indicators
[parent_process_name] Baseline parent-child process lineage can help distinguish admin tools from malicious scripts
AN0537 Analytic 0537
Linux

Abnormal use of `lsblk`, `fdisk -l`, `lshw -class disk`, or `parted` by non-admin users or within non-interactive shells suggests suspicious disk enumeration activity.

auditd:SYSCALL execve call with argv matching known disk enumeration commands (lsblk, parted, fdisk) auditd:EXECVE command line arguments containing lsblk, fdisk, parted
[TTY_type] Detection can exclude interactive TTY sessions to reduce false positives from admin usage
[shell_parent] Differentiate between interactive user shells vs. script-based execution
AN0538 Analytic 0538
macOS

Disk enumeration via `diskutil list` or `system_profiler SPStorageDataType` run outside of user login or not associated with system inventory tools

macos:unifiedlog process launch of diskutil or system_profiler with SPStorageDataType macos:unifiedlog log messages related to disk enumeration context or Terminal session
[launch_agent_context] Unexpected use of disk enumeration tools from GUI apps or LaunchAgents may indicate abuse
[volume_name_filter] Filter known baseline volume names or identifiers used by common device configurations
AN0539 Analytic 0539
ESXi

Use of `esxcli storage` or `vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms` by unusual sessions or through interactive shells unrelated to administrative maintenance tasks.

esxi:hostd execution of esxcli with args matching 'storage', 'filesystem', 'core device list' esxi:auth interactive shell or SSH access preceding storage enumeration
[ssh_source_ip] Restrict alerts to unexpected remote sessions accessing host storage commands
[esxcli_command_scope] Tailor detection based on subcommands more likely to be abused
