200-201 Practice Question: Which two Sysmon Event IDs are most commonly…
Which two Sysmon Event IDs are most commonly associated with code injection techniques?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between direct indicators of injection (Event ID 8 and 10) versus indirect artifacts (Event ID 1 or 7), leading candidates to mistakenly choose process creation or image load events as primary injection indicators.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Event ID 8 (CreateRemoteThread)
Sysmon Event ID 8 (CreateRemoteThread) is directly associated with code injection because it logs when a thread is created in a remote process, a common technique used by malware to inject malicious code into a legitimate process. Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess) is also critical as it records when a process opens a handle to another process, often a precursor to injecting code via APIs like OpenProcess and WriteProcessMemory.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Event ID 3 (Network connect)
Why it's wrong here
Network events are not directly related to injection.
- ✓
Event ID 8 (CreateRemoteThread)
Why this is correct
CreateRemoteThread is a common method for code injection.
- ✗
Event ID 1 (Process creation)
Why it's wrong here
Process creation itself is not specific to injection.
- ✗
Event ID 7 (Image loaded)
Why it's wrong here
Image loads can be part of injection but are not definitive.
- ✓
Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess)
Why this is correct
ProcessAccess events may indicate a process opening another for injection.
