This rule detects the creation of scheduled tasks using either 'schtasks.exe' or PowerShell ('powershell.exe', 'pwsh.exe') with suspicious parameters. It flags tasks created in temporary directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, ProgramData, Windows\Temp) or tasks executed with 'highest' privileges or hidden configurations, often used for persistence or lateral movement.

Detects potentially malicious PowerShell command-line activity by identifying patterns indicative of obfuscation, fileless execution, AMSI bypass, and downloading/executing remote payloads. The rule flags instances where long command lines are used with encoded flags, base64 decoding logic is paired with execution primitives, explicit AMSI bypass attempts, or combinations of encoded commands with web requests or hidden windows.

Detects potential lateral movement by monitoring for the creation of services associated with PsExec (e.g., PSEXESVC or ADMIN$ share usage), followed by a network connection over SMB (port 445) and the subsequent execution of the corresponding remote process.

Detects lateral movement patterns associated with PsExec or its variants. The rule correlates SMB administrative share access (ADMIN$ or IPC$), the subsequent installation of a service (often named PSEXESVC or using a temporary executable path), and the immediate execution of a command or shell (cmd.exe or powershell.exe) by that service.

Detects execution of MeshAgent binaries when initiated by common scripting or application processes (e.g., java, sh, bash, python) or when displaying suspicious command-line patterns indicative of unauthorized remote access or download activity, particularly in environments like WebLogic or PeopleSoft.

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.

This rule detects the execution of common tools and commands used to perform Kerberoasting, a technique where attackers request Kerberos service tickets for user accounts with Service Principal Names (SPNs) in order to perform offline brute-force attacks to recover plaintext credentials. The rule specifically monitors process creation events for known offensive security tools like Rubeus, as well as specific command-line arguments for 'setspn.exe' and various scripts that can be used to identify potential Kerberoasting targets.

Detects the use of Mimikatz 'sekurlsa::pth' command for credential manipulation, or the occurrence of SMB/Windows administrative share access (ADMIN$, C$) potentially indicating lateral movement activities.

Detects the use of legitimate Windows binaries (certutil.exe and bitsadmin.exe) to download files from remote URLs or perform encoding/decoding operations in suspicious directories (Temp, AppData). This activity is commonly used by adversaries for stage-one malware delivery or tool ingress.

Detects instances of rundll32.exe or regsvr32.exe executing from suspicious locations or with suspicious command-line arguments (e.g., URLs, JavaScript, or script file extensions) initiated by an unsigned process. This is a common technique used to proxy malicious code execution while evading security monitoring.

Detects the execution of regsvr32.exe with command line arguments containing 'scrobj.dll' and '/i:http'. This behavior indicates the abuse of the Windows Registry Server utility to load a remote COM scriptlet, a technique frequently observed in TA505 adversary activity to execute malicious payloads, such as the Get2 downloader or SDBbot RAT.

Detects the use of PowerShell to download content from a remote URI and execute it using encoded commands or expression evaluation, a pattern commonly used by the FIN8 threat group (Syssphinx) to deploy the BADHATCH backdoor.

Detects the execution of potentially malicious processes mimicking cryptocurrency or wallet applications (e.g., 'wallet', 'coin', 'crypto', 'exchange') that are launched from user-accessible directories like Downloads or Temp. The detection specifically looks for these processes spawning command-line interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or proxy execution binaries (rundll32.exe), a behavior pattern characteristic of the AppleJeus campaign associated with Lazarus Group (Diamond Sleet).

Detects the silent installation of common Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools (ScreenConnect, Atera, AnyDesk) when triggered by potentially suspicious parent processes such as email clients, web browsers, or archive utilities. This pattern is characteristic of MuddyWater's (Mango Sandstorm) post-compromise tradecraft for establishing persistent C2 channels.

This rule detects instances where Microsoft Word (winword.exe) or Microsoft Excel (excel.exe) initiate a PowerShell (powershell.exe) process containing command-line arguments typical of downloader stagers, such as 'IEX', 'DownloadString', or hidden execution flags. This behavior is a common indicator of macro-based delivery of malware, frequently observed in campaigns associated with FIN7/Carbanak and other threat actors utilizing Cobalt Strike or similar offensive frameworks.

Detects the Antino backdoor components (GatherOsState.exe or a standalone installer) spawning cmd.exe or powershell.exe to execute commands, indicative of command-and-control tasking.

Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a remote access tool (RAT) is installed on a device, followed by significantly elevated and anomalous database query activity performed by the same account over an extended period. The rule utilizes a baseline window to identify deviations from normal query volumes while excluding known service accounts and administrative ETL/BI tasks.

Detects execution patterns associated with known Water Hydra exploit chains, specifically targeting CVE-2023-38831 (WinRAR self-extracting archive exploitation) and CVE-2024-21412 (Mark-of-the-Web/SmartScreen bypass via nested internet shortcuts). The rule monitors process lineage for WinRAR spawning command interpreters from temporary extraction directories and command line anomalies associated with rundll32.exe triggered from internet shortcut chains.

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.
