4,543 detections

Detects instances where an IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) spawns a command shell (cmd.exe) that executes a conditional file copy operation. This pattern is characteristic of an adversary creating a webshell by copying a payload to a filename that masquerades as a legitimate web application asset, such as a CSS bundle or validation script.

The following analytic detects creation and removal of intermediary remediation artifacts of Windows Defender, during exploitation of ShieldCrash attacks.
Exploit abuses the race condition between file validation and its remediation performed by Windows Defender. In between these steps, ShieldCrash changes the
symbolic link to redirect the remediation process to a staging directory controlled by the attacker. This detection aims to detect creation of defender artifact,
its alternate data stream, and their subsequent removal.

Detects the drop and execution of the AvisLoader rootkit component, hmn_hook.dll. The rule identifies suspicious file drops in non-standard, user-writable directories (e.g., AppData, Temp) that are not associated with legitimate installers, as well as the loading of unsigned or non-Microsoft-signed versions of the DLL accompanied by hook-related process arguments such as HMN_HideStart or NtQuerySystemInformation.

This rule detects a specific persistence technique used by AvisLoader malware. It monitors for the creation of a .lnk.backup file alongside a corresponding .lnk shortcut modification in common shell locations (Desktop, Taskbar, etc.), coupled with the execution of wscript.exe or cscript.exe referencing the 'VLCAssistant' VBScript within a short time window. This sequence indicates an attempt to persist malicious activity by backing up existing shortcuts and replacing them with a launcher for the AvisLoader payload.

Detects evidence of potential adversarial interference with Windows Defender updates and MRT.exe (Malicious Software Removal Tool). The rule correlates high volumes of temporary file creation in user directories with unauthorized access to MRT.exe by third-party processes and repeated Windows Defender update failures, indicating a potential attempt to disrupt endpoint security operations.

Detects a process initiating a memory dump of lsass.exe (using --dump arguments) followed within 15 minutes by the creation of a hexadecimal-named .tmp file in the Windows\Temp directory. This behavioral pattern is characteristic of credential dumping using reflected cloning or similar techniques, followed by the staging of obfuscated or encrypted minidump data for exfiltration.

Detects the pidclone-style LSASS credential dumper that clones the target process into a suspended state, mirrors its memory, generates a minidump, and writes an XOR-encrypted copy of the dump to a randomized filename under Windows\Temp

Detects a sequence of events indicative of LSASS memory dumping where a process opens a handle to lsass.exe and subsequently creates a uniquely named temporary file (16-character hexadecimal filename) in the Windows Temp directory within a short timeframe. This behavior is often associated with the obfuscated flushing of a stolen memory dump to disk to evade signature-based detection.

Detects the presence of MSI installer packages associated with the Sauron Loader malware, which stage malicious files (rnpkeys.exe, rnp.dll, and tdwp.dll) into the C:\ProgramData\keyroll directory to facilitate DLL side-loading.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the execution of Node.js scripts initiated by system script proxies (wscript, cscript, msiexec) within specific paths, often associated with subsequent installation of VBScript agents or direct network communication with a known command-and-control IP address.

Detects the execution of msiexec.exe performing the installation or staging of specific binary files (rnpkeys.exe, rnp.dll, and tdwp.dll) into the C:\ProgramData\keyroll\ directory, which is a known behavior associated with the Sauron Loader malware.

This rule correlates web clicks on Google Sites URLs containing keywords related to GlobalProtect with the subsequent creation or renaming of an unsigned or improperly signed GlobalProtect.msi file on the same endpoint within a 30-minute window. This behavior is indicative of a spearphishing attempt using a masqueraded landing page to deliver malicious or unauthorized software.

Detects modifications to the creation time of web-accessible script files (.aspx, .php, .asp, .jsp) located in common web directories (wwwroot, inetpub). Adversaries often use timestomping to hide the creation of backdoored web shells, making them appear older and potentially bypassing forensic or integrity-checking mechanisms.

Detects the creation or renaming of files to a .aspx extension within specific web application directories (member file-upload). The rule specifically filters for file operations initiated by the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) and requires a non-zero file size, identifying potential web shell deployment attempts.

Detects HTML files that employ FlipBook branding as a lure for password-gated smuggling. The detection identifies client-side JavaScript logic that uses PBKDF2 and AES-GCM to decrypt a hidden redirect URL after user interaction with a password prompt.
