Detects a sequence of activity indicative of destructive ransomware or wiper behavior on a Windows device. The rule correlates a high volume of file modification, creation, or rename events within a short timeframe with concurrent attempts to delete or modify Windows backup and recovery mechanisms (such as Volume Shadow Copies or Boot Configuration Data) using native administrative utilities.

This rule detects file and process activity originating from or involving specific directories and filenames associated with 'Agta' software, including temporary files such as PowerShell scripts and XML tasks. This behavior is indicative of potential unauthorized use of backup or testing utilities for malicious purposes, such as script execution or task manipulation.

This rule monitors for processes masquerading as Dell-related software (e.g., 'Dell Window Guard.exe', 'Dell.Virus.Guard.exe') or processes containing the command-line argument 'AgtaBackstage'. It flags devices where multiple variations of these suspicious file names appear or where the specific 'AgtaBackstage' string is present, which is indicative of potential malicious activity or persistence mechanisms using software-related naming conventions.

Detects the modification of service permissions for the 'AgtaBackupAgentSvc' service using the 'sdset' command via 'sc.exe', 'cmd.exe', or 'powershell.exe'. Adversaries use this technique to hide services or modify access to them by applying a specific Service Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string to bypass security enumeration or maintain persistence.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task intended to masquerade as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTask' using either schtasks.exe or PowerShell. The rule specifically monitors for tasks being registered in AppData/Roaming directories, which is a common indicator of persistence by malicious actors attempting to mimic legitimate Microsoft Edge update processes.

Detects suspicious network connectivity where a newly executed process (that is not a browser or Slack) immediately establishes an outbound HTTPS connection to the Slack API. This behavior is indicative of potential malware implants or malicious scripts attempting to perform system reconnaissance and check-in to an attacker-controlled Slack workspace.

Detects the execution of Python 3.12 commands via 'sudo' to elevate privileges to 'root'. The rule monitors for instances where a non-root account invokes 'sudo python3.12' and subsequently spawns a process or logs activity confirming a root-level execution session within a short time window.

Detects the execution of script interpreters (powershell, cmd, mshta, etc.) spawned directly by explorer.exe via the Run dialog, commonly associated with 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks where users are prompted to copy and paste malicious commands to bypass security mechanisms.

This rule detects two distinct exploitation patterns: first, WinRAR (CVE-2023-38831) spawning script interpreters as child processes, typically indicative of opening malicious archives. Second, explorer.exe (CVE-2023-36025) spawning hidden PowerShell sessions, a technique used to bypass Windows SmartScreen protections via malicious LNK shortcuts.

Detects host-control and management tasks (e.g., shutdown, logoff, scheduled task modification) executed as child processes of the msedge_proxy.exe process. This behavior is indicative of the BotHelper malware implant managing infected endpoints.

Detects the execution of search-ms or search protocol URIs that contain a 'crumb' parameter combined with either a 'displayname' parameter or remote path indicators (such as WebDAV/UNC paths). This technique is commonly used by adversaries to redirect Windows Search to a remote, malicious location while masking the source by spoofing the displayed name or path to trick users.

Detects the use of download utilities (curl or wget) from terminal shells with command-line arguments containing 'force=1' and architecture-specific identifiers (e.g., arm64, x86_64). This pattern matches the execution chain commonly associated with ClickFix-based AMOS malware distribution, where users are tricked into pasting commands to download and execute architecture-specific payloads.

This rule detects the execution of common remote access and RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) tools spawned directly from web browser processes (e.g., Chrome, Edge, Firefox). It further monitors for subsequent suspicious child process activity such as command shell execution or file operations performed by these RMM tools, which is a common pattern in post-exploitation and initial access activities.

102
Detects anomalous child process execution (e.g., shells, curl, python) or the creation of web-accessible script files (.jsp, .php, .aspx) originating from common VPN gateway or edge appliance service processes. This behavior is indicative of potential exploitation of a remote-facing appliance or webshell deployment.

102
This rule detects potentially malicious PowerShell, CMD, or PWSH command execution characterized by obfuscation techniques (such as Base64 encoding, decompression, or hidden command arguments) that are followed closely in time by network connections to public AI service domains (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Generative Language, Mistral, Cohere). The detection correlates process-start events with outbound network requests from processes other than standard web browsers, suggesting potentially unauthorized use of AI APIs for exfiltration or automated processing of command results.

Detects execution of potentially malicious processes (mshta, powershell, cmd, conhost) which are common vectors for ClickFix-style attacks, where a user is socially engineered into copying and pasting malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog or a command prompt.

Detects ClickFix-style activity where a user is tricked into entering or pasting malicious command strings into the Windows File Explorer address bar. This activity results in the spawning of common utilities like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or certutil.exe with arguments associated with UNC paths, Base64 encoding, or download cradles (e.g., IEX, bitsadmin, or URLCache operations).

Detects the invocation of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) binaries (wsl.exe or wslconfig.exe) using command-line arguments that enable arbitrary command execution, such as -e, --exec, or shell interpreters (bash -c, sh -c), or web-based retrieval tools like curl/wget. This technique is often used to execute commands or download payloads within a Linux environment on Windows, potentially bypassing security controls focused on native Windows processes.
