    WiFiTask.exe


    We observed traffic towards https://cache.datamart.windows.com from a Windows 10 Machine.

    The used user agent captured was “Microsoft!WiFiTask_File_Downloader” have no information on the official website of the Microsoft.


    On further analysis we found wifitask.exe generating this traffic which is a background service.


    Also after analyzing wifitask.exe in "https://www.hybrid-analysis.com" we found the “Microsoft!WiFiTask_File_Downloader” in the strings.


    Ref Link : https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/3f61513138fc7db66fb977304212636422a018ff5792fad255909209cb2bd650?environmentId=120


    Can any one please help me understand,


    1. Why wifitask.exe is generating traffic towards https://cache.datamart.windows.com?

    2. Why “Microsoft!WiFiTask_File_Downloader” is captured as User Agent in logs?

    :)
