Detect Suspicious Windows Command-Line Activity Using System Utilities

The query analyzes Windows ProcessRollup2 events to identify unusual use of common administrative tools (e.g., net.exe, sc.exe, nltest.exe, systeminfo.exe). It assigns behavior weights based on command-line patterns, aggregates activity per host and hour, flags systems with high or frequent activity, and provides direct links for host investigation in Falcon.
