This rule detects the specific artifacts associated with the '01flip' ransomware. It triggers when a ransom note named 'RECOVER-YOUR-FILE.TXT' is created, followed by the rapid renaming of more than 10 files on the same host with the '.01flip' extension. The correlation is based on the hostname and the process command line within a 5-minute window, indicating a coordinated ransomware attack.

Detects when a potentially malicious file (such as a macro-enabled document, executable, or script) is created within a directory configured as a Microsoft Office Trusted Location. Attackers may place malicious files in these locations to ensure they are opened by the user without security warnings (like Protected View or macro-blocking), facilitating code execution. This rule correlates file creation events with trusted paths dynamically enumerated from the device's registry.

Detects the creation or modification of a browser extension's manifest.json file configured to inject a script into the 'MAIN' world context of chatgpt.com. This technique allows the extension to bypass the isolated content script environment, hook native APIs like window.fetch, and steal session tokens, as seen in a campaign targeting ChatGPT users.

This rule detects suspicious process creation patterns indicative of the MuddyWater (also known as RustyWater) APT group. Specifically, it looks for Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) launching scripting or Living Off The Land Binaries (LOLBins) such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, mshta.exe, rundll32.exe, wscript.exe, or cscript.exe. The detection is further narrowed down by checking if these processes are created in suspicious writable paths like ProgramData, Users\Public, AppData\Roaming, or AppData\Local\Temp. Additionally, the rule includes optional enrichment for known MuddyWater/RustyWater payload names (reddit.exe, art.exe, cloud.exe, nginx.exe), persistence via the Run registry key, and the dropping of a specific staging artifact named 'CertificationKit.ini'.

This rule detects when Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) create INI files within the `C:\ProgramData\` directory. This behavior can be indicative of malicious activity, such as macro-enabled documents dropping configuration files or payloads, or other forms of malware attempting to establish persistence or store data in a less scrutinized location.

This detection identifies the creation of an Internet Shortcut (.url) file in a user's Startup folder. This is a persistence mechanism (T1547.001) used by adversaries like the PHALT#BLYX campaign, which created a .url file pointing to a local executable using the 'file:///' protocol to launch malware at logon. The rule specifically looks for the creation of '.url' files in the Startup folder and includes a filter for a known IOC ('DeleteApp.url') from the PHALT#BLYX campaign, as well as excluding common legitimate processes like web browsers and explorer.exe as initiating processes.

Detects the creation and subsequent execution of a masqueraded binary named "CertificationKit.ini" in the C:\ProgramData directory. This technique has been observed in recent MuddyWater campaigns where a .ini file extension is used to disguise an executable, which is then launched via cmd.exe.

This rule detects activities associated with the VVS Stealer malware, as described in the Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 blog. It identifies the malware through specific SHA256 hashes of known VVS Stealer executables, network connections to hardcoded Discord webhook URLs used for exfiltration, persistence mechanisms via creation of executables in Windows startup folders, creation of '_vault.zip' files (likely containing stolen data), and suspicious Discord-related process activity indicative of the stealer's operation.
