Ping Sleep Batch Command

Description

This analytic will identify the possible execution of ping sleep batch commands. This technique was seen in several malware samples and is used to trigger sleep times without explicitly calling sleep functions or commandlets. The goal is to delay the execution of malicious code and bypass detection or sandbox analysis. This detection can be a good indicator of a process delaying its execution for malicious purposes.
