CrowdStrike Certified Falcon Responder (CCFR) — Question 25

When examining raw event data, what is the purpose of the field called ParentProcessId_decimal?

Answer options

• A. It contains an internal value not useful for an investigation
• B. It contains the TargetProcessId_decimal value of the child process
• C. It contains the SensorId_decimal value for related events
• D. It contains the TargetProcessId_decimal of the parent process

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the ParentProcessId_decimal field specifically indicates the TargetProcessId_decimal of the process that initiated the current process. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they misrepresent the function of the ParentProcessId_decimal field, which is crucial for understanding process relationships.
