Detects the use of native Windows utilities (vssadmin.exe, wmic.exe, wbadmin.exe, bcdedit.exe) to delete volume shadow copies, backup catalogs, or modify boot configuration data to inhibit system recovery, a common behavior observed during ransomware and wiper attacks.
Detects the deletion of volume shadow copies using common Windows administrative tools such as vssadmin, wmic, and PowerShell. This activity is frequently observed during the pre-encryption stage of ransomware attacks to prevent system restoration.
This rule detects instances where the MSP360 RMM Agent installer triggers an UAC elevation failure. The detection specifically monitors the execution of eventcreate.exe, which is often used to log events, when the command line includes strings indicating that the MSP360 installer failed to elevate privileges.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious flags such as encoded commands (-enc, -ec, -encodedcommand) combined with execution policy bypass flags and common .NET classes or methods used for downloading content from the internet (e.g., Net.WebClient, IEX, Invoke-WebRequest). This pattern is commonly observed in fileless malware delivery or secondary payload retrieval stages.
Detects the execution of batch or command scripts initiated by SQL Server (sqlservr.exe) or in contexts involving command-line utility misuse often associated with SQL Server exploitation, such as xp_cmdshell or certutil, particularly when involving paths like AppData or ServiceProfiles.
Detects a sequence of events where a user clicks a shared link to an AI chatbot conversation followed closely (within 15 minutes) by the execution of potentially malicious processes (mshta, powershell, cmd) that include suspicious command-line patterns indicative of ClickFix-style social engineering.

Detects suspicious behavior by the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) indicative of web shell deployment, specifically the spawning of command interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or the writing of .aspx files. This activity is consistent with exploitation campaigns targeting MOVEit Transfer, such as those conducted by the Lace Tempest (Cl0p) group.
Detects instances where AI agent runtime environments, such as Python or Node.js processes, spawn command interpreters to execute commands that suggest reconnaissance or unauthorized system manipulation. This behavior is indicative of a hijacked AI agent abusing its tool-use capabilities to execute commands outside of an approved workflow.
This analytic detects suspicious python package installations where the package name resembles popular Python libraries but may be typosquatted or slightly altered.
Typosquatting is a common technique used by attackers to trick users into installing malicious packages that mimic legitimate ones.
This detection leverages Cisco NVM flow telemetry and checks for pip or poetry package managers with the "install" or "add" flags, making outbound connections to package repository such as `pypi.org` with known or suspected typo package names.

The following analytic identifies a LOLBAS process being executed outside of it's expected location.
Processes being executed outside of expected locations may be an indicator that an adversary is attempting to evade defenses or execute malicious code.
The LOLBAS project documents Windows native binaries that can be abused by threat actors to perform tasks like executing malicious code.

The following analytic detects the execution of multiple offensive toolkits and commands by leveraging PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This method captures and logs the full command sent to PowerShell, allowing for the identification of suspicious activities including several well-known tools used for credential theft, lateral movement, and persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and potential compromise of sensitive information within the environment.
The following analytic detects the creation of scheduled tasks designed to execute commands using native Windows shells like PowerShell, Cmd, Wscript, or Cscript or from public folders such as Users, Temp, or ProgramData. It leverages Windows Security EventCode 4698, 4700, and 4702 to identify when such tasks are registered, enabled, or modified. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to establish persistence or execute malicious commands on a system. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to maintain access, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges, posing a severe threat to the environment.
This rule detects potential command injection attacks targeting the Zimbra 'swatchdog' service, specifically involving the abuse of SNMP trap notifications (CVE-2026-73570). The attack works by injecting malicious shell metacharacters into the 'zimbra-MIB::zmServiceName' argument, which is processed by a Perl-invoked 'swatchdog' script. The rule monitors process execution events for shell commands spawned by the swatchdog utility that contain suspicious shell operators and the targeted MIB parameter.

This rule detects anomalous activity involving cloud-based shell services (AWS CloudShell, Azure Cloud Shell, GCP Cloud Shell). It triggers on two main conditions: (1) First-time usage of these shell environments by a principal within the detection window, and (2) The execution of commands associated with data staging, ingress tool transfer, or exfiltration (e.g., curl, wget, storage copy commands).
Detects Impacket-style lateral movement patterns where system processes such as services.exe or wmiprvse.exe spawn command shells to copy files from a network share (UNC path) and execute them. This rule specifically looks for evidence of staging binaries or DLLs from remote shares, which is a common behavior of post-compromise frameworks like Impacket when performing 'hands-on-keyboard' actions.
Detects the 'ClickFix' social engineering pattern where a user is instructed to copy and paste a malicious command into the Windows Run dialog. The rule triggers on PowerShell being launched from explorer.exe with 'ExecutionPolicy Bypass', utilizing 'irm' (Invoke-RestMethod) to download content, and saving it to the user's TEMP directory via 'Out-File' for subsequent execution.
This rule detects potential unauthorized or suspicious installation of an RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) agent on a Windows host. It flags cases where a process performs multiple suspicious actions within a 24-hour window, specifically combining the installation or starting of a service related to an RMM agent, the creation of a Windows Firewall rule for the RMM agent executable, and/or the creation of log events related to the installer.
Detects attempts to clear Windows event logs using built-in utilities like wevtutil.exe, PowerShell commands (Clear-EventLog, Remove-EventLog), or the detection of Event ID 1102 (Log cleared). This activity is commonly used by adversaries, including ransomware affiliates, to obfuscate their tracks during or after an attack.
This rule detects PowerShell processes initiated with command-line arguments that indicate obfuscation (e.g., -enc, -encodedCommand) or attempts to download or execute external content (e.g., IEX, Net.WebClient, Invoke-WebRequest). This pattern is commonly observed during the initial execution of malicious payloads or tool delivery.
