Detects the use of rar.exe to create an archive with a password and recursive flag, specifically targeting system folders or common staging directories. This behavior is often associated with attackers collecting and preparing data for exfiltration.

This rule detects potentially suspicious command-line arguments used with common data compression tools like 7-Zip and WinRAR. The presence of parameters such as '-p' (password), '-hp' (header password), '-sdel' (secure delete after archiving), '-ta', '-tb', and '-dw' can indicate an adversary's attempt to archive collected data, potentially encrypt it, and then remove the original files to cover their tracks. This behavior is often observed during the collection and staging phases of an attack, prior to exfiltration. The rule includes a filter to reduce false positives by excluding processes launched from standard program file paths.

Detects a command line pattern used by the Conti ransomware group to archive and stage the NTDS.dit database for exfiltration. The rule specifically looks for the execution of '7za.exe' (7-Zip archiver) with a command line that includes '\C$\temp\log.zip', indicating the creation of a zip archive in a temporary location, a common step before exfiltration.

Detects the execution of 7-Zip (7z.exe, 7za.exe, 7zr.exe) to compress files with extensions like '.dmp', '.dump', or '.hdmp'. This activity is often a precursor to data exfiltration, where memory dump files or other sensitive data are compressed for easier transfer.

This rule detects the use of 7-Zip to compress and password-protect data, which is a common technique used by adversaries for exfiltration. It specifically looks for the execution of 7-Zip executables (7z.exe, 7zr.exe, 7za.exe) combined with command-line arguments indicating both compression/archiving ('a' or 'u') and password protection ('-p').

This rule detects the use of 'rar.exe' to add files to an archive. Adversaries often compress collected data, such as sensitive documents, before exfiltration to make it more portable and reduce the amount of data transferred over the network. The detection specifically looks for the execution of 'rar.exe' with the 'a' command-line argument, which is used for adding files to an archive.

Detects the execution of WinRAR to compress files with '.dmp', '.dump', or '.hdmp' extensions. This activity could indicate a step in exfiltrating memory dump files or other sensitive dump files.

This rule detects the use of WinZip (winzip.exe or winzip64.exe) to compress and password-protect data. This activity is often associated with adversaries preparing data for exfiltration, as it allows them to package and secure collected information. The rule specifically looks for command-line arguments indicating the use of WinZip along with a password option and common archiving flags.
