Definitely not B. If it's not useful, why is it there in the first place? Sounds like someone was just lazy in their field naming conventions. *rolls eyes*

I agree, it does seem strange to have a field that's not useful. Maybe there's a reason we're not seeing.

C) It contains the ContextProcessld_decimal value for the parent process that made the DNS request

Hmm, I'm torn between A and C. I feel like it could go either way, but C seems a bit more logical. Although, who knows what kind of bizarre logic these security tools use. *shrugs*

I think it's C, it makes sense to have the parent process value.

B has to be the right answer. An 'internal value not useful for an investigation' sounds like the kind of cryptic field that security tools love to include. #JustSecurityThings

I'm going with D. The TargetProcessld_decimal value for the process that made the DNS request seems like the most relevant information to have in this field.

I'm sticking with D, the TargetProcessld_decimal value for the process that made the DNS request seems crucial.

I think the purpose of the ContextProcessId_decimal field is to contain the ContextProcessId_decimal value for the parent process that made the DNS request.

I think it's C. The ContextProcessld_decimal field should contain the parent process that made the DNS request, not the target process. That makes the most sense in the context of a DNS event.
