This rule detects inbound network connections to Active Directory Web Services (ADWS) on port 9389, followed by either LDAP query events (Event ID 1644) or operations on Active Directory objects (Event ID 4662) originating from the same device. This combination of events can indicate reconnaissance or malicious activity targeting Active Directory, such as attempts to enumerate accounts or groups, or to modify AD objects.

This rule detects an unusually high number of NTLM logon attempts (more than 3 within a 10-minute window) from a single IP address to various accounts or workstations. This behavior is indicative of a brute-force attack or password guessing attempt against network services, particularly when the logon type is network (3) or remote interactive (10) and not from localhost.

Detects the creation of a new Personal Access Token (PAT) in GitHub. Attackers frequently create PATs after gaining initial access to an account to maintain persistence that survives a password reset. Tokens with broad scopes (repo, admin:org) allow for full repository exfiltration and administrative manipulation of the organization.

This rule detects potential Kerberoasting activity by identifying an unusual number of Kerberos service ticket requests (Event ID 4769) for service principal names (SPNs) ending with '$' from a single client address within an hour. A high count (over 10) is flagged as 'High' suspicion, while a count between 5 and 10 is flagged as 'Medium'. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to obtain service ticket hashes for offline cracking.

Identifies successful Entra ID sign-ins using the Device Code Flow from a geographic location not seen for that user in the last 30 days. The device code flow involves two separate interactions (the attacker's device and the victim's browser), so a mismatch between the sign-in location and the user's established locations is a strong indicator of a session hijacking attempt.

This rule detects potential DCSync replication abuse by monitoring Security Event ID 4662, specifically looking for access to 'domainDNS' or user objects with the GUID '1131f6aa-9c07-11d1-f79f-00c04fc2dcd2', which is associated with Directory Replication Service (DRS) permissions. It filters out machine accounts to reduce false positives.

Detects successful POST requests to better-auth API key creation or update endpoints that appear to be unauthenticated. This pattern is indicative of exploitation of CVE-2025-61928, where an attacker can create or modify API keys for any user without a valid session.

Detects the creation of the file 'decrypted_appbound_key.txt' in the AppData\Roaming directory. This file is a specific artifact generated by the CRESCENTHARVEST malware after it successfully decrypts Chrome's app-bound encryption key, indicating browser credential compromise.

This rule detects multiple failed logon attempts (more than 5 within a 5-minute window) for user accounts from a single IP address. This behavior is indicative of a brute-force attack or password guessing attempt against user accounts.

Detects a potential attempt to downgrade a password manager client's encryption to a legacy, non-authenticated mode (e.g., AES-CBC). A malicious or compromised server can send a specially crafted response during login or synchronization that forces the client to use weaker cryptography. This can compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the user's vault, enabling further attacks like vault modification or padding oracles.

Detects events that may indicate a user is being enrolled into a Bitwarden organization's account recovery policy under malicious circumstances. As described by researchers, a malicious or compromised server can silently add a user to an attacker-controlled organization and enable an account recovery policy. The victim's client will then encrypt the user's vault key with an attacker-provided public key and upload it, leading to a full vault compromise.

This rule detects the KongTuke second-stage PowerShell loader. It specifically looks for PowerShell scripts that attempt to read a payload from a file named 'Remove-NetNatStaticMapping.log', decrypt it using DPAPI (Data Protection API) via 'ProtectedData]::Unprotect' and 'DataProtectionScope]::Localmachine', and then execute the decrypted content using an 'iex' alias. The script also includes references to 'Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security' and 'AppActions', indicating advanced PowerShell capabilities and potential interaction with application-related data. The use of 'ReadAllBytes' and 'UTF8.GetString' suggests the payload is read as raw bytes and then converted to a string for execution.

Detects when a known OpenClaw AI agent process executes commands associated with credential access or system discovery. This behavior can indicate a "0-click" prompt injection attack, where the agent is manipulated into executing malicious commands received through external data streams like emails or IM messages.

This rule detects suspicious user-agent strings in Microsoft Graph activity logs that are commonly associated with reconnaissance and attack tools targeting Azure AD and Microsoft 365 environments. These tools include BloodHound, ROADtools, AADInternals, and various other utilities used for enumeration, credential spraying, and other malicious activities.

Detects Notepad.exe initiating outbound network connections, specifically over SMB (port 445) or to public IP addresses over HTTP/S. This behavior is highly anomalous and can indicate an attempt to exploit CVE-2026-20841 to trigger an NTLM relay attack for credential harvesting or to download a remote payload.

Detects a high volume of Kerberos pre-authentication failures (Event ID 4771, Status 0x18) against multiple distinct user accounts originating from a single source IP address within a short time window. This behavior is characteristic of password spraying attacks where an attacker attempts a small number of common passwords across many accounts to avoid lockouts and detection in a Windows Active Directory environment.

This rule set detects network communication associated with macOS infostealers, including C2 infrastructure, SHub stealer heartbeat and exfiltration, and ClickFix staging and landing pages. It identifies specific hostnames and URI paths used by these malicious campaigns.

Detects when a Managed Identity successfully authenticates via the Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) and subsequently performs administrative or enumeration actions within a short timeframe. This pattern can indicate an attacker has compromised a resource (e.g., a Virtual Machine) and is using its Managed Identity to move laterally or access other resources within the Azure environment. The rule correlates successful IMDS-based sign-ins with subsequent activities such as running commands on virtual machines, or listing/getting secrets and keys from Key Vaults, or other general administrative/alert-generating activities.
