Detects PowerShell referencing AMSI internals, reflection, or amsiInitFailed before executing a downloaded stage. This rule specifically looks for PowerShell processes executing commands that contain keywords related to AMSI bypass techniques, such as 'AmsiUtils', 'amsiInitFailed', 'AmsiScanBuffer', 'amsiContext', 'GetField', combined with 'SetValue', 'Reflection', or 'NonPublic'. This indicates an attempt to modify AMSI's behavior in memory.
