En el panorama informático actual, mantener la seguridad y la integridad de una red es primordial. Una de las tareas fundamentales de los profesionales de TI y los proveedores de servicios gestionados (MSP) es garantizar que en sus sistemas sólo se ejecuten procesos fiables y verificados.
Los procesos no verificados o no firmados pueden ser potenciales puntos de entrada de software malicioso, lo que conduce a brechas de seguridad e inestabilidad del sistema. Aquí es donde entran en juego los scripts de PowerShell, como el que estamos analizando hoy, que proporcionan un método robusto para verificar procesos en ejecución e identificar cualquier ejecutable sin firmar.
Necesidad de verificar los procesos
Los profesionales de TI deben verificar a menudo que todos los procesos que se ejecutan en un sistema están firmados y son de confianza. Esta verificación garantiza que los procesos proceden de fuentes legítimas y no han sido manipulados.
En entornos en los que la seguridad es una prioridad absoluta, como instituciones financieras, sanidad o cualquier organización que maneje datos confidenciales, garantizar la legitimidad de los procesos en ejecución es crucial. Este script ofrece una forma racionalizada de automatizar el proceso de verificación, lo que lo convierte en una herramienta inestimable para los administradores de TI y los MSP.
El script para verificar procesos en ejecución
#Requires -Version 5.1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Verify that running processes are signed and output unsigned.
.DESCRIPTION
Verify that running processes are signed and output unsigned.
It will exclude processes based on the process name, path, or product name.
The script will output the unsigned processes to the console and save the results to a Multi-Line custom field and a WYSIWYG custom field if specified.

Cómo funciona el script para verificar procesos en ejecución
El script PowerShell proporcionado está diseñado para verificar las firmas de todos los procesos en ejecución en un sistema Windows e informar sobre aquellos que no están firmados. A continuación se detalla paso a paso el funcionamiento del script:
- Configuración inicial: el script para verificar procesos en ejecución comienza definiendo varias funciones esenciales para su funcionamiento, como comprobar si el script se está ejecutando con privilegios administrativos (Test-IsElevated) y recuperar o establecer campos personalizados en NinjaOne (Get-NinjaProperty y Set-NinjaProperty).
- Gestión de parámetros: el script acepta varios parámetros, lo que permite a los usuarios excluir procesos específicos de la verificación, recuperar listas de exclusión de campos personalizados y guardar los resultados en campos personalizados (tanto en formato multilínea como WYSIWYG).
- Recogida y exclusión de procesos: recopila una lista de todos los procesos en ejecución en el sistema. Si el usuario especifica alguna exclusión (ya sea mediante parámetros directos o campos personalizados), estos procesos se filtran.
- Verificación de firmas: el script comprueba la firma de cada proceso utilizando el cmdlet Get-AuthenticodeSignature. Los procesos que no están firmados o tienen un estado distinto de “Válido” se marcan como no firmados.
- Manipulación de resultados: los procesos no firmados se muestran en la consola y, si se especifica, se guardan en campos personalizados en NinjaOne. El script puede formatear la salida en HTML para campos WYSIWYG, lo que facilita su inclusión en informes o cuadros de mando.
- Tratamiento de errores e informes: el script incluye un completo tratamiento de errores para gestionar problemas como la falta de campos personalizados o la superación del límite de caracteres en los campos personalizados. Todos los errores encontrados se comunican al usuario, lo que garantiza la transparencia.
Caso hipotético
Imagina que un administrador de TI gestiona una red de ordenadores para una entidad financiera. La seguridad es una prioridad absoluta, y el administrador debe asegurarse de que sólo se ejecutan procesos legítimos en todas las máquinas.
Usando este script, el administrador puede verificar regularmente que todos los procesos en ejecución estén firmados, excluir automáticamente los procesos seguros conocidos y reportar cualquier proceso no firmado para una investigación más profunda.
Los resultados se guardan en campos personalizados dentro de NinjaOne, lo que permite al administrador revisar fácilmente los hallazgos y mantener un entorno seguro.
Comparación con otros métodos
Los métodos tradicionales de verificación de los procesos en ejecución pueden implicar comprobaciones manuales mediante herramientas como el Administrador de tareas o software de seguridad de terceros. Sin embargo, estos métodos suelen llevar mucho tiempo y son propensos a errores humanos. En cambio, este script de PowerShell para verificar procesos en ejecución automatiza todo el proceso, proporcionando un método de verificación más rápido y fiable.
Además, la integración del script con los campos personalizados de NinjaOne ofrece una forma perfecta de documentar y realizar un seguimiento de los resultados de la verificación a lo largo del tiempo, algo que no es fácil de conseguir con métodos manuales.
Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué significa que un proceso no esté firmado?
Un proceso sin firmar significa que el ejecutable que lo ejecuta no tiene una firma digital válida. Esto podría indicar que el proceso procede de una fuente no fiable o ha sido manipulado.
¿Puedo personalizar qué procesos quedan excluidos de la verificación?
Sí, el script te permite excluir procesos específicos por nombre, ruta o nombre de producto, ya sea a través de parámetros o especificando un campo personalizado en NinjaOne.
¿Qué ocurre si el script encuentra un error?
El script para verificar procesos en ejecución incluye un sólido tratamiento de errores. Si encuentra un error, como un campo personalizado que falta o una exclusión de proceso no válida, informará del problema en la salida de la consola.
¿Es este script compatible con todas las versiones de Windows?
El script requiere Windows 10 o Windows Server 2012 y posteriores, con PowerShell versión 5.1 o superiores.
Implicaciones de los resultados del script
Las implicaciones de encontrar procesos sin firmar en un sistema pueden ser importantes. Dichos procesos podrían representar un riesgo para la seguridad, al tratarse potencialmente de malware o software no autorizado.
Al identificar estos procesos, los profesionales de TI pueden tomar medidas para eliminarlos o investigarlos más a fondo, reduciendo así el riesgo de una violación de la seguridad. Ejecutar regularmente este script para verificar procesos en ejecución puede ayudar a mantener un entorno seguro, garantizando que sólo se ejecuta software de confianza en los sistemas críticos.
Buenas prácticas al utilizar este script
- Ejecuta con privilegios de administrador: asegúrate de que el script para verificar procesos en ejecución se ejecuta siempre con privilegios administrativos para permitirle acceso completo a los procesos del sistema.
- Ejecución regular: programa el script para que se ejecute a intervalos regulares, asegurándote de que la verificación del proceso forma parte de tus comprobaciones de seguridad rutinarias.
- Personaliza cuidadosamente las exclusiones: excluye únicamente los procesos conocidos y de confianza para evitar pasar por alto posibles amenazas a la seguridad.
- Revisa los resultados y actúa en consecuencia: revisa siempre los resultados del script cuidadosamente y toma las medidas adecuadas en cualquier proceso no firmado identificado.
