This rule detects the creation of executable files (.exe, .dll, .pyd) within browser extension folders (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) followed by a related registry modification within a one-hour window. This behavior is indicative of malicious browser extension installation or modification, often used for persistence or data exfiltration.

Detects WinRAR creating files in Windows startup locations, which may indicate an attempt to establish persistence by adding malicious files to the Startup folder. This behavior has been associated with exploitation of WinRAR path traversal vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-6218 or CVE-2025-8088.

Detects potential exploitation of 7-Zip vulnerabilities CVE-2025-11001 and CVE-2025-11002. The exploit uses a malicious archive to create a symbolic link, which redirects a subsequent file write to an arbitrary, often sensitive, location on the filesystem. This detection looks for a 7-Zip process writing a potentially executable file to an unusual location such as the Desktop, Startup, or System folders.

Detects various activities associated with the UTA0388 threat actor and their GOVERSHELL malware family. This includes network connections to known C2 infrastructure, creation of persistence via scheduled tasks, and execution of the malware payload, often involving DLL side-loading. The detection logic covers network communication with known C2 domains and IPs, creation of scheduled tasks with specific names, execution of the malware from common staging directories with specific flags, and the dropping of GOVERSHELL DLLs or files with known hashes.

This rule detects the creation or modification of cron files or files within standard cron directories on Linux systems. Adversaries often abuse the cron utility to establish persistence or schedule malicious tasks for execution at specific times or intervals. Monitoring these file events can help identify unauthorized scheduling of tasks.

10101
This rule detects the creation of temporary files within the WebDAV TfsStore directory that have suspicious file extensions. Attackers can leverage WebDAV to force authentication or to drop malicious files onto a system. The presence of executable or archive file extensions in this specific temporary directory is highly indicative of malicious activity, potentially related to initial access or resource development.

This rule detects the creation of new files within the Microsoft Windows Defender program data folder. It specifically looks for file creation events where the initiating process is not a known, whitelisted Defender process. This behavior could indicate an attempt to tamper with or exploit Windows Defender, potentially to impair its defensive capabilities or to hide malicious activity.

Detects the creation of suspicious files associated with Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploits targeting the Windows Print Spooler Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities, specifically CVE-2021-34527 (PrinterNightmare) and CVE-2021-1675. The rule looks for file creations within the ':\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\' directory, which is a known location for files dropped by these exploits.
