Detects the creation of specific files ('result', 'result.kerb') in common user folders. These filenames are known artifacts of tools like GoSecretsDump used to decrypt the NTDS.dit database, a technique observed in Muddled Libra's playbook after they exfiltrate the database from a Domain Controller.

Detects Windows logon events where the account name starts with 'WAC_' and belongs to a domain outside of the organization's tenant. This pattern is a key indicator for CVE-2026-20965 exploitation, where an attacker uses a forged token from an external tenant to gain unauthorized access to a Windows Admin Center (WAC) managed machine.

This rule detects successful sign-ins to Azure Active Directory (AAD) from IP addresses outside of New Zealand and Australia, where the User-Agent string matches a list of known suspicious User-Agents. It filters out many legitimate User-Agents to reduce false positives, including those from Microsoft applications, mobile devices, and common system services. The rule aims to identify potential unauthorized access attempts or compromised accounts leveraging unusual client software or scripts.

This rule detects a correlated attack chain involving LDAP Service Principal Name (SPN) enumeration followed by Kerberoasting activity. It identifies an actor performing LDAP queries for SPNs, then links that actor to subsequent Kerberos Ticket-Granting Service (TGS) requests for those service accounts within a defined time window. The rule specifically looks for a minimum number of unique service accounts targeted to trigger an alert, indicating a potential Kerberoasting attack.

This rule detects sign-in attempts to Azure Active Directory (AAD) service principals where the User-Agent string contains "TruffleHog". TruffleHog is an open-source tool used for finding sensitive data (like credentials) in various data sources. Its presence in AAD sign-in logs, especially for service principals, could indicate an attempt to scan for or verify leaked secrets or credentials associated with service accounts.

Detects a process reading a .env file, which often contains sensitive credentials like API keys. This is often the first step of a data exfiltration pattern where the credentials are then sent to an attacker-controlled server. This behavior was observed in the malicious 'rankaj' OpenClaw skill. This rule should be correlated with subsequent network activity from the same process to a rare destination.

Detects the use of lifecycle hooks in `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` files to execute potentially malicious commands. Adversaries can abuse hooks like `postCreateCommand` or `postStartCommand` in development environments like GitHub Codespaces to automatically run scripts upon container creation. This can be used to exfiltrate secrets, such as GitHub tokens, or establish further access.

Detects Kerberos service ticket requests (TGS) for canary Service Principal Names (SPNs). Any request for a ticket to a canary SPN is highly indicative of a Kerberoasting attack (T1558.003) or other reconnaissance activity, as these accounts have no legitimate purpose. Creation of Canary SPNs can be found here: https://github.com/fluffybunnies-h4x/CyberDeception?tab=readme-ov-file#creating-a-canary-spn-account
