Suspicious Child Process of Analysis Tool
Detects the creation of a child process by a known analysis, debugging, or reverse engineering tool. Malware like Stealit checks for these parent processes to determine if it's being analyzed. Spawning unexpected child processes from these tools can indicate malicious activity, such as the malware continuing its execution path after a failed anti-analysis check or a user interacting with a malicious file within a sandbox. The rule is filtered to exclude common legitimate child processes spawned by these tools.
