Suspicious Command Obfuscation and Decoding Patterns
This rule detects suspicious command-line patterns indicative of obfuscation, encoding, or stealth techniques often used by adversaries. It scores various characteristics such as hidden window styles, variable manipulation, string operations, and decoding functions (e.g., Base64, Gzip, Deflate). The rule filters out known legitimate processes and command-line boilerplate to reduce false positives and classifies detections based on the highest scoring obfuscation category.
