CB Response: Is it Possible to Remove Cmdline Passwords in the Console?

Environment

  • Carbon Black Response Console: All Verisons

Question

Is it possible to remove the cmdline passwords in the console so analysts cannot see them being passed?

Answer

No, this is not possible

Additional Notes

  • The Carbon Black Sensor collects information live. This means any information passed in a command line will be visible in the console
  • There are other ways to enter passwords into command prompts which are generally safer than in clear text. Please research the best approach for your environment
