This rule detects when a DNS server receives a zone transfer request for a non-existent or non-authoritative zone, indicated by EventID 6004 from the Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service. This event signifies an attempt to perform a DNS zone transfer that was rejected by the DNS server. Such attempts can be part of reconnaissance activities by adversaries trying to map out a network's DNS infrastructure.

Detects DNS queries initiated by 'Regsvr32.exe'. This activity is suspicious as 'Regsvr32.exe' is a legitimate Windows utility used to register and unregister DLLs, but it is often abused by adversaries for proxy execution, defense evasion, and bypassing application control. A DNS query from this process could indicate an attempt to resolve a malicious domain for command and control or payload retrieval.
