Adversaries may look for details about the network configuration and settings, such as IP and/or MAC addresses, of systems they access or through information discovery of remote systems. Several operating system administration utilities exist that can be used to gather this information. Examples include Arp, ipconfig/ifconfig, nbtstat, and route.
Adversaries may use the information from System Network Configuration Discovery during automated discovery to shape follow-on behaviors, including determining certain access within the target network and what actions to do next.

Comments
Chronicle is able to trigger an alert based off processes and command-line arguments that may indicate adversary reconnaissance and information discovery techniques for network configuration settings (e.g., "net config", "ipconfig.exe", "nbtstat.exe).
This technique was scored as minimal based on low or uncertain detection coverage factor.
