Detects the modification or replacement of critical Linux system daemons (crond, sshd, polkitd, etc.) followed by a service restart or reload. This behavior is indicative of potential trojanization or unauthorized tampering of system processes to establish persistence or inject malicious code.

Detects modifications to the 'crond' daemon binary followed closely (within 5 minutes) by a restart or start command via common system management utilities. This behavior is highly indicative of potential persistence mechanisms where an adversary replaces a system binary with a malicious version.

This rule detects either the execution of a specific SSH daemon binary known to be trojanized or the creation/modification of files within the /var/lib/sshd/ directory, which is a common indicator of backdoor persistence or credential theft targeting SSH sessions.

Detects the creation or modification of files within the /tmp directory that follow a specific naming convention (t[number]_w.pipe) by an HAProxy process. This pattern is often associated with inter-process communication or potential post-exploitation activity where HAProxy is leveraged to handle named pipes for malicious command execution or data redirection.

This rule detects potentially malicious modifications to PostgreSQL configuration files or the creation of new library files (.so or .dll) by the PostgreSQL service process. It also flags when the PostgreSQL service process is initiated with command-line arguments referencing 'shared_preload_libraries', which can be abused to load arbitrary code or malicious extensions into the database engine.

Detects when the Postgres service process or account attempts to modify system-level persistence mechanisms, such as scheduled tasks (cron/schtasks) or system services (systemd/startup folders), which are typical behaviors for an adversary using database service context to maintain persistence.

This rule detects potential spearphishing activity by correlating email attachments containing specific 'Request for Quotation' filenames with subsequent suspicious file creation events on endpoints. It specifically looks for matching attachments (MSG or PDF) from email logs and tracks if similar file patterns appear in Microsoft Outlook content or temporary folders on host devices.

This rule detects suspicious activity involving common web browser credential files (Cookies, Login Data) being read, created, modified, or renamed by processes associated with iCloud synchronization paths on macOS. This behavior is indicative of potentially malicious processes attempting to exfiltrate browser-stored session information or credentials.

Detects instances where 'TieringEngineService.exe' or 'MsMpEng.exe' (Windows Defender) create, modify, or rename executable, library, or system files within the 'C:\Windows\System32\' directory. This behavior is highly irregular as these processes should not be authoring binaries in protected system folders, and may indicate process masquerading, unauthorized persistence, or defense evasion.

Detects evidence of persistence mechanisms associated with the StyleSmuggler implant. The rule monitors for malicious crontab entries and file system activity related to gvfsd-user, .gvfsd, and /tmp/.kw_ artifacts.

Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of files within directories associated with GVFS (GNOME Virtual File System) or files masquerading as GVFS components. Adversaries often use these paths and file names to stage or hide malicious tools and persistence mechanisms on Linux systems.

Detects a suspicious sequence of activities where PowerShell downloads or extracts specific zip files (node.zip, build.zip) to staging directories, followed by the execution of associated binaries like node.exe, winpty-agent.exe, or winpty.dll from those same locations. This behavior is indicative of an adversary staging and executing tooling within temporary user directories.

Detects suspicious file transfer and subsequent execution activity associated with the ScreenConnect (ConnectWise Control) remote access application, which may indicate exploitation of file-transfer vulnerabilities. The rule monitors for ScreenConnect processes dropping executable or script files to disk followed by the spawning of command interpreters to execute those files.

Detects suspicious activity associated with the exploitation of a vulnerability in N-central (CVE-2026-86218). The rule monitors for unauthorized child process spawning by N-central components, creation of files in the application directory consistent with web shells, outbound network connections indicative of command and control, and the creation of new local or service accounts for persistence.

Detects the creation or modification of specific dropper/loader files and service worker registration within WordPress directory structures (wp-content/plugins, wp-content/themes, wp-content/uploads). These files are often associated with the injection of malicious scripts (e.g., on-chain resolvers) to facilitate drive-by compromises by site visitors.
