This rule detects processes accessing '/proc/self/status' to read the 'TracerPID' field. Malware often uses this technique to detect if it is being debugged or traced by security analysis tools, allowing the process to terminate or change behavior to avoid analysis.

Detects the use of shell commands ('bash', 'sh') to interact with potential configuration backup files or files containing sensitive system information (e.g., 'show_running-config.txt', 'show_version.txt'). This behavior is indicative of an adversary staging or accessing configuration data on a compromised system or network device.

The following analytic identifies processes that retrieve information related to private key files, often used by post-exploitation tools like winpeas.
This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions that search for private key certificates.
This activity is significant as it indicates potential attempts to locate insecurely stored credentials, which adversaries can exploit for privilege escalation, persistence, or remote service authentication.
If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to access sensitive information, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence within the compromised environment.

This rule detects instances where a PDF file located in the Outlook temporary internet cache is opened or accessed, followed shortly (within 3 minutes) by a network request from the device to a Google Sites URL. This behavior is indicative of a phishing attack where an email attachment redirects the user to a malicious site for credential harvesting or malware delivery.

Detects processes that access sensitive browser credential or cookie files (e.g., Login Data, Cookies) followed by network activity within a 10-minute window, which is a common behavior pattern of information-stealing malware such as Amatera or ACR Stealer.

This rule detects file access, creation, modification, or renaming operations involving sensitive files associated with cryptocurrency wallets (Bitcoin, Electrum, ElectrumSV), game account configurations (Battle.net, Steam, Minecraft), and browser-based cookies (Roblox). The rule filters out legitimate process interactions, identifying suspicious activity from unknown or unauthorized applications potentially attempting to exfiltrate credentials or session tokens.

This rule detects potentially unauthorized access or attempts to copy sensitive SSH keys (e.g., id_rsa, id_ed25519) by command-line utilities (such as cat, cp, tar, scp, or curl) or when triggered by automation-related process names like 'terraform'. It monitors both process command lines and file events to identify staging or exfiltration activities.

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious access to sensitive configuration and credential files (e.g., .aws, .azure, .ssh) by specific DLP (Data Loss Prevention) or automation scripts, and identifies subsequent attempts to expose environment variables or sensitive tokens within process command lines.

This rule detects instances where a process loads 'offreg.dll' (Offline Registry Library) and concurrently accesses the SAM (Security Account Manager) file. This is a common technique used by attackers to offline-extract local account hashes without using standard registry tools, potentially bypassing basic monitoring of 'reg.exe'.

This rule detects potential bulk data exfiltration by monitoring for high volumes of file access events (FileAccessed, FileRead, FileModified) originating from the 'doc_helper.aspx' file-management web shell. It summarizes activity by device and user account, flagging instances where over 100 unique files are touched within a short timeframe, which is indicative of automated collection and exfiltration activities.

Detects anomalous activity originating from PostgreSQL processes, including the spawning of shells (cmd, powershell, sh, bash), access to sensitive files (e.g., /etc/shadow, SSH keys), and file creation outside the standard PostgreSQL data directories, which is consistent with the abuse of SQL functionality like pg_read_file() or lo_export().

Detects access to Firefox profile database files (cookies.sqlite, places.sqlite, permissions.sqlite) by suspicious processes that are masquerading as legitimate system maintenance or update utilities. This rule specifically targets known masquerading process names (UpdateAssistant.exe, AppUpdateHelper.exe, SysMaintenance.exe) while excluding the legitimate firefox.exe process and its installation directory.

Detects access to sensitive credential and configuration files commonly used by developers and automated systems, such as AWS credentials, SSH keys, Docker configurations, NPM tokens, and Maven settings. Access to these files is a high-indicator of credential harvesting by malicious actors or stealer-type malware.
