This rule detects a sequence of suspicious activities on macOS: downloading a file from a potentially malicious source using curl, mounting a disk image using hdiutil, and subsequently opening files from the mounted volume. This pattern is commonly associated with the delivery and execution of malicious payloads, such as trojanized software or malware installers.
This rule detects suspicious activity associated with the Bun runtime after an npm package install. It flags instances where Bun, or download utilities (curl/wget) fetching 'bun.sh', are spawned from Node.js-related processes (npm, node, node-gyp) particularly when located in common temporary or cache directories, indicating potential supply chain compromise or unauthorized runtime deployment during build processes.
This rule detects the suspicious execution of the Bun runtime spawned as a child process of Node.js or during npm package installation, which is a pattern observed in the Miasma/Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain attacks. It monitors for child processes named 'bun' or 'bun.exe' initiated by Node.js, or activities involving 'bun run _index.js' and 'node-gyp' which are characteristic of loader chains used to facilitate credential theft during package installation.
This rule detects the execution of RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) installers (Atera or SimpleHelp) via msiexec.exe or setup.exe when launched from directories commonly used for downloads (Temp/Downloads) and originating from web browsers or Microsoft Office applications. This behavior is indicative of a potential drive-by download or phishing attack aimed at installing unauthorized remote access software.
Detects the use of BITSAdmin or PowerShell 'Start-BitsTransfer' to download files from common public file sharing and code repository sites, which is a known technique for adversaries to stage or download malicious payloads.
Detects the use of the native Windows curl.exe utility to download a .zip file from an external URL, followed by the creation of that file on the disk. This pattern is associated with the Potemkin Loader which uses this technique to fetch RMM components, effectively bypassing PowerShell-based detection mechanisms for file downloads.
Detects the use of BITSAdmin to create or modify background intelligent transfer jobs. Attackers often abuse BITSAdmin to download malicious payloads (ingress tool transfer) or to execute commands when a transfer job completes or errors, which can be leveraged for persistence or arbitrary code execution.
Detects execution of Certutil.exe with arguments commonly used by adversaries for downloading files (urlcache) or decoding malicious payloads (decode/decodehex). These techniques are frequently used to bypass security controls and facilitate the delivery of secondary payloads or tools.
Detects the use of BITSAdmin to create or modify background intelligent transfer jobs. Attackers often abuse BITSAdmin to download malicious payloads (ingress tool transfer) or to execute commands when a transfer job completes or errors, which can be leveraged for persistence or arbitrary code execution.
Detects instances where the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) wsl.exe process is used to execute curl or wget from the Windows host. This technique is often used to stage payloads or download tools from the internet, effectively bypassing Windows-based EDR network monitoring as the network connection occurs within the isolated WSL2 environment.
Detects indicators associated with the JDY botnet targeting SOHO and IoT infrastructure. The rule monitors for suspicious firmware update attempts to non-vendor hosts, identifies high-rate outbound scanning from edge devices, and flags devices that show re-emergence of suspicious behavior after a quiet period.
Detects the execution of batch scripts that invoke file transfer utilities (certutil, bitsadmin, or powershell) to download components into temporary directories, a behavior associated with the Red Lamassu campaign.
This rule detects suspicious command-line execution originating from common web browsers. It identifies instances where a browser process launches a command-line interpreter (cmd, powershell, or wscript) and immediately invokes known download or utility commands (curl, iwr, bitsadmin, certutil), which is a common pattern for file-less or stage-two payload delivery from malicious websites.
This rule detects network activity involving known suspicious domains and the download of specific, potentially malicious files (archives and installers). The monitoring focuses on HTTP/proxy/DNS traffic where hostnames, URLs, or query parameters match indicators of malicious activity.
Detects anomalous HTTP GET requests targeting the ClawHub API for 'skills' that match known patterns of malicious file downloads, specifically identifying poc.py scripts or skill.md files which are indicative of the ClawHavoc campaign activity.
Detects usage of the Windows certutil.exe utility with flags commonly associated with malicious activity, including downloading files from remote URLs or decoding/encoding files within temporary or application data directories.
Detects a sequence of events where PowerShell is used to download files from 'nvidiadriver.net' or with filenames containing 'winPatch', followed by a suspicious file drop (specifically 'winPatch.zip' or 'update.vbs') in a temporary directory within a 30-minute window. This behavior is indicative of potential initial staging for a RAT or malicious script deployment.
Detects suspicious usage of the Bun runtime, specifically when it is spawned by common Node.js development processes (like npm or node-gyp) or downloaded from non-official sources using command-line tools or browsers. This behavior is associated with the Miasma malware campaign, which abuses the Bun runtime for malicious operations.
Detects programmatic file downloads from SharePoint and OneDrive using automation tools like PowerShell, PnP, Graph SDK, Python, Node.js, or generic CLI tools (curl, wget) rather than typical browser access. This can indicate data exfiltration.
Detects npm or node processes spawning shell interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) during package installation, which subsequently execute download utilities (curl, wget, certutil, bitsadmin). This behavior is characteristic of malicious npm packages attempting to stage payloads during the 'preinstall' or 'postinstall' hooks.
Detects the abuse of the CertUtil.exe Windows utility to download, decode, encode, or split files. This behavior is considered suspicious when initiated by common command-line shells or Office applications, which are frequently used as entry points for malicious scripts or macro-based attacks.
