This rule detects the creation, modification, or renaming of 'ntdll.dll' within a specific directory path matching the pattern 'ShieldCrash_{GUID}'. This pattern is indicative of potential malicious activity, such as the use of NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) for persistence or execution evasion. The rule explicitly excludes known legitimate system processes that may handle DLL files to minimize noise.

Detects suspicious file activity within directories named 'ShieldCrash' followed by a cloud provider registration or placeholder creation event within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized software or an adversary attempting to stage data for exfiltration or create persistent storage aliases outside of legitimate cloud client applications.

This rule detects suspicious file operations (creation, modification, or renaming) initiated by MsMpEng.exe (Microsoft Defender Antivirus) involving specific indicators related to ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) or 'ShieldCrash' components. These indicators often suggest tampering attempts or the presence of tools designed to interfere with Defender's security operations by targeting its configuration, staging, or protected storage locations.

This rule detects the creation of a .groovy file within a plugin directory related to JFrog Artifactory, followed by the execution of suspicious child processes (e.g., shell, curl, wget) by the Artifactory process within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to achieve remote code execution by deploying a malicious plugin.

Detects the creation of a new AWS S3 bucket followed by a large volume of data uploads (more than 200 objects) within a 2-hour window. The detection focuses on activity attributed to a single identity with limited source IP diversity, which is highly indicative of scripted data staging and potential exfiltration preparation by an unauthorized actor.

407
Detects automated searching (via grep, findstr, or select-string) for sensitive strings (e.g., API keys, private keys, wallet data) across multiple occurrences on a single host, or the creation of suspicious sensitive files (e.g., .env, credentials, wallet.dat) on devices where such automated sweeping activity has been observed. This pattern indicates an adversary staging data for exfiltration.

Detects indicators of the MovieReaper loader, specifically the downloading of shellcode fragments disguised as image assets from known malicious C2 infrastructure, and the masquerading of a malicious binary as 'msedge.exe' within the Windows Telemetry folder for persistence. The rule specifically targets the loader's behavior of using PEB Ldr traversal to resolve APIs and evade hooking-based security controls.

Detects suspected exploitation of CVE-2026-81963, an Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in the Windows Update stack. The rule monitors for the creation of reparse points, junctions, or symbolic links within update staging paths by Windows Update processes, followed by either the spawning of suspicious child processes or unauthorized file writes/renames outside of expected directories, which are indicative of a privileged link-following exploit.

Detects unauthorized attempts to dump the process memory of the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), a common technique used by attackers to harvest credentials from memory. This includes the use of legitimate diagnostic tools like procdump and comsvcs.dll, as well as the identification of resulting dump files in directory paths associated with LSASS.

Detects execution and file activity associated with the XRed backdoor, which masquerades as 'Synaptics.exe' by running from the non-standard 'C:\ProgramData\Synaptics\' directory instead of authorized system paths.

This rule detects potential execution of malicious files from removable media (e.g., USB drives). It monitors for a sequence of events where a removable drive is mounted, a file is subsequently created on that drive, and then that same file is executed within a short time window.

Detects activity associated with the 'MovieReaper' threat campaign by identifying known malicious file hashes, command and control (C2) IP addresses, and communication with identified malicious domains. This rule monitors process execution, file operations, and network connections within the campaign's active timeframe.

Detects PowerShell command execution that uses bitwise XOR operations combined with the .NET [IO.File]::WriteAllBytes method. This pattern is commonly used by malware, such as AsyncRAT, to deobfuscate and drop secondary payloads or modules onto the file system during execution.

This rule detects potential persistence mechanisms where a suspicious batch file (.bat) is placed within the Windows Startup folder and subsequently executed using command-line arguments that include specific file extensions like .exe and .ini. This behavior is indicative of malware, such as remote access trojans (RATs), attempting to maintain persistence upon system reboot.

Detects the installation or presence of the GemStone browser extension backdoor. The detection logic identifies the malicious extension by flagging specific service worker file names ('background.js') located in browser extension directories, or by detecting browser extension events associated with unique indicators found in the 'AdditionalFields' metadata, specifically looking for keys such as 'kc_state', 'portal_sync_config', or a 'background.js' file reference.

Detects anomalous activity patterns consistent with automated firmware reverse engineering pipelines, specifically correlating the high-frequency execution of firmware analysis tools (e.g., binwalk, Ghidra) with the creation of vulnerability research knowledge base artifacts. This behavioral heuristic aims to identify potential AI-driven or automated zero-day discovery workflows by tracking tool usage density and output characteristics.
