Pony Anti-Sandbox VM Detection via WMI Queries and Short-Lived Process
This rule detects potential Pony malware anti-sandbox evasion techniques by correlating WMI queries for virtual machine artifacts and registry reads for BIOS/VM strings with the termination of short-lived processes (less than 30 seconds). This behavior is indicative of malware attempting to determine if it's running in a sandbox environment and exiting if it detects one.
