1,605 detections

Detects a ClickFix-style activity where an adversary uses nslookup.exe or certutil.exe to perform DNS TXT record queries for payload staging or C2 rendezvous. The rule identifies suspicious parent processes like explorer.exe or scripting hosts, correlates this with a subsequent outbound network connection from the same host, and is intended to capture DNS-based beaconing or data staging.

Detects high-volume DNS traffic characterized by long, high-entropy subdomain labels, which are often used as a mechanism for command-and-control (C2) communication or data exfiltration via DNS tunneling.

Sweeps Defender Advanced Hunting telemetry for known Sauron Loader indicators: 5 malicious SHA256 hashes (MSI installer, rnp.dll loader, tdwp.dll decrypter, embedded RSA private/public key blobs) across file/process/image-load events, plus 4 C2 domains and their full URLs across network and DNS telemetry. No IP indicators were published in the source reporting (C2 is domain-based over HTTPS) — the IP bucket is intentionally omitted rather than filled with placeholder data.

This rule detects potential DNS tunneling activities often used for Command and Control (C2) communication. It monitors for high volumes of DNS requests involving records commonly abused for tunneling (TXT, NULL, CNAME) from a single host to a specific parent domain. It further identifies suspicious patterns characterized by long, high-entropy subdomain labels (>45 characters) and a high frequency of distinct labels, which are indicative of encoded C2 traffic.

This rule detects potential DNS tunneling or DNS-based command and control (C2) beaconing. It analyzes DNS query logs for characteristics typical of C2 traffic, such as high subdomain entropy, frequent use of TXT or NULL records, and a high volume of unique subdomains originating from a single source IP address within a 5-minute window.

This rule performs a retrospective sweep for indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the 'CSuite' phishing and RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) campaign. It monitors network, DNS, proxy, email, URL click, and file creation telemetry over the past 24 hours to identify interactions with known-malicious IP addresses, domains, URLs, and file hashes related to the campaign.

Detects network activity associated with the DragonForce backdoor, specifically the use of MQTT for command and control. The rules monitor for unique 16-character client IDs used during registration on non-standard ports, subsequent command retrieval structures containing 'cmdnum', and DNS queries for the hardcoded broker 'broker.emqx.io'.

This rule detects network activity associated with the GemStuffer malware, specifically monitoring for DNS queries to known OAST callback domains, HTTP requests to specific C2 paths, and unauthorized data exfiltration attempts to the webhook.site service.

IOC hunt across DNS, network, and file-hash telemetry for the Ledger Google Ads phishing campaign. Vercel redirect domains are matched by exact hostname (DNS query name / parsed URL host) rather than substring, eliminating false positives from unrelated strings that merely contain a look-alike domain fragment. GCS bucket and Google Sites path IOCs remain substring-matched since the bucket IDs and page slugs are already highly specific.

Detects network, HTTP, and DNS activity associated with the known three-tier delivery infrastructure (phishing sites, relay/dispatcher servers, and payload hosts) used by the threat actor UNC6671/SilverFox/Aurora. The rule distinguishes between high-confidence confirmed connections and low-confidence DNS-only events.

Detects anomalous DNS traffic patterns indicative of malware Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA). The rule identifies multiple NXDOMAIN responses for domains exhibiting high-entropy character structures (high consonant-to-vowel ratios, random alphanumeric string patterns) originating from a single source IP within a short timeframe, which is a common indicator of C2 beaconing attempts.

Detects the deployment and activity of the MeshCentral remote management agent (meshagent), including process execution, service creation, and network communication to MeshCentral infrastructure. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized persistence and remote command-and-control, often associated with post-compromise activity such as that observed by ShinyHunters.

This rule detects various malicious indicators including known file hashes, IP addresses, domains, and specific URLs associated with threat activity. It consolidates hits from process, file, and network telemetry to alert on potential compromise or communication with identified command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.
