Detects suspicious PowerShell process creation patterns often associated with malicious activity. The rule identifies PowerShell execution invoked by common parent processes (like Office applications or scripting engines) or using highly suspicious command-line arguments such as encoded commands, hidden windows, or common download and execution patterns (e.g., IEX, WebClient).

This rule detects evidence of remote service installation and execution, commonly associated with tools like PsExec, PaExec, and RemCom, or the direct use of Windows administrative shares (ADMIN$, C$) to execute binaries remotely. The rule monitors for process creation events involving known service binary names, service creation attempts, or the execution of binaries staged in administrative network shares.

Detects the deletion of Volume Shadow Copies and disabling of Windows boot recovery options using native administrative utilities such as vssadmin, wmic, powershell, wbadmin, and bcdedit. This behavior is frequently associated with pre-encryption activities in ransomware attacks to prevent system restoration.

This rule detects potential unauthorized Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool installation activities. It looks for common patterns used by adversaries to deploy RMM agents, including silent MSI installations from HTTPS URLs, batch/VBS scripts performing administrative privilege checks prior to silent execution, and PowerShell commands utilizing 'Start-Process' with elevated privileges to download and execute files from the internet.

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.

This rule detects potential ClickFix/InstallFix attacks where a user is socially engineered to copy and paste a malicious command from a website that mimics a legitimate developer tool installation (e.g., Claude Code, NotebookLM). The detection flags the use of common download-and-execute cmdlets (e.g., irm, iwr, iex) within common Windows shell interpreters while excluding known legitimate vendor install domains.

Detects the modification of the 'DisableRestrictedAdmin' registry key via 'reg.exe'. This registry setting, when disabled (set to 0), allows the use of 'Restricted Admin' mode for Remote Desktop connections, which can be leveraged to bypass certain credential protections or enable lateral movement using high-privilege credentials.

Detects the use of PowerShell commands to modify file timestamps (CreationTime, LastWriteTime, LastAccessTime) on web application directories and configuration files, a technique often used by attackers to hide modifications made to webshells or malicious scripts.

This rule detects instances where a process matching a known sideload-vulnerable binary (such as werfaultsecure or wuauclt) spawns a PowerShell process that executes commands commonly used for Active Directory reconnaissance and system information discovery. This behavior is indicative of post-compromise activity, specifically reconnaissance phases performed by malware loaders like Lorem Ipsum.

Detects instances where the Internet Information Services (IIS) worker process (w3wp.exe) initiates a child process of sqlcmd.exe. This behavior is highly suspicious and often indicates a post-exploitation activity where an attacker, having established a webshell or similar foothold on a web server, is using harvested credentials to query backend SQL databases directly.

Detects the creation of web scripts (aspx, php, jsp) in typical web server directories followed by suspicious shell activity (cmd, powershell, or shell execution) originating from web server processes within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being dropped and subsequently utilized for command execution.

This rule detects the execution of common Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) and remote access tools when initiated from suspicious parent processes (such as browsers, office applications, or command-line interpreters), originating from common writeable directories (e.g., Temp, Downloads), or executed with command-line arguments indicative of silent/unattended installation. This behavior is often associated with initial access, persistence establishment, or unauthorized remote control of a system.

Detects Microsoft Office applications (winword.exe or excel.exe) spawning shell processes (cmd.exe or powershell.exe). This behavior is commonly associated with malicious VBA macro execution in weaponized Office documents used for malware delivery, such as Dridex.

Detects the use of Windows administrative tools (vssadmin, wbadmin, and bcdedit) to delete Volume Shadow Copies, backup catalogs, and disable system recovery mechanisms. This behavior is highly indicative of preparatory stages for destructive wiper malware attacks, such as those historically observed by the Sandworm (Seashell Blizzard) group (e.g., CaddyWiper, Industroyer2).

Detects the execution of shortcut (.lnk) files located on removable media (USB) that spawn common Windows binaries (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, mshta.exe) with hidden window flags. This behavior is indicative of initial access or lateral movement techniques used by Mustang Panda (Earth Preta) for USB-based malware propagation and DLL side-loading.

This rule detects various malicious indicators of compromise (IOCs) across multiple telemetry sources, including DNS queries, web network traffic, file executions, process creation, and email activity. It monitors for interactions with known malicious domains, URLs, file hashes, and specific sender email addresses to identify potential malware distribution or C2 activity.

Detects package manager utilities (pip, npm, yarn, conda) being executed as child processes by Python or Node.js agent runtime processes. This behavior may indicate an unauthorized installation of plugins or tools within an AI agent framework, potentially bypassing secure deployment pipelines.

204
Detects when an AI agent's code execution sandbox (e.g., Python, Node.js, or Shell interpreters) initiates suspicious child processes. This includes the execution of network utilities for potential C2 (e.g., curl, nc, socat), the creation of interactive reverse shells, or the execution of credential harvesting tools (e.g., mimikatz, secretsdump), which suggests the AI agent's sandbox environment has been compromised or abused.

Detects instances where the Microsoft Edge proxy process (msedge_proxy.exe) initiates command-line interpreters such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or pwsh.exe. This behavior is highly suspicious as a browser-related process should not typically be spawning shell interpreters, potentially indicating exploitation of browser vulnerabilities or malicious script execution.

Detects the execution of a Node.js interpreter (node.exe or node) as a child process of a Fortinet management-related process, or where the command line contains references to Fortinet. This behavior is indicative of post-exploitation activity related to CVE-2025-25249, where a heap-based buffer overflow is exploited to deploy the PivotC2 remote access trojan.
