This rule detects suspicious activity involving the BITSAdmin (bitsadmin.exe) utility, which is a known LOLBin (Living Off the Land Binary). It monitors for the creation of BITS jobs using suspicious flags (e.g., /transfer, /setnotifycmdline) potentially indicating external file downloads, as well as the execution of known command interpreters or utilities spawned as child processes by BITSAdmin, which is a common post-exploitation technique for persistence or secondary payload execution.
This rule detects processes making a high volume of network connections (10 or more within an hour) to URLs containing 'release' or 'download'. This behavior can be indicative of malware downloading additional components, updates, or exfiltrating data, but could also be legitimate software updates or large file transfers.
Detects the use of the BITSAdmin utility to transfer files or set notification command lines. BITSAdmin is a legitimate Windows utility often abused by adversaries to download malicious files or achieve persistence/execution via BITS jobs.
Detects the use of bitsadmin.exe to initiate file transfers from remote HTTP/HTTPS locations. This behavior is frequently used by adversaries to download malicious payloads onto a host using legitimate system utilities.
Detects the AMOS (Atomic macOS Stealer) infection chain where a shell (e.g., Terminal, bash) executes curl to download a DMG file to a temporary directory, followed immediately by the use of hdiutil with the -nobrowse flag to mount the disk image silently, effectively bypassing macOS Gatekeeper UI prompts to the user.
This rule detects suspicious PowerShell command-line activity characterized by the use of execution policy bypass flags, obfuscated strings referencing BigInteger or character manipulation, and the potential retrieval of malicious scripts from temporary directories.
Detects suspicious PowerShell activity characterized by command-line obfuscation (including BigInteger patterns) or network connections to suspicious 'photo-*.cfd' domains often associated with malicious file downloads.
Detects script content that invokes 'mshta.exe' from the 'SysWOW64' directory to access a remote resource ending with '.7z' via HTTP or HTTPS. This pattern is associated with the Animateclipper malware, which uses MSHTA for initial access or execution of malicious scripts.
Detects macOS Terminal (bash/zsh) retrieving loader.sh or payload.applescript directly from the ClickFix attacker infrastructure.
Detects rapid high-volume file and messaging operations across multiple Microsoft 365 services (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Exchange) within a compressed 10-minute window. This behavior can indicate data exfiltration or collection by an adversary.
Detects a browser creating a ZIP archive whose name impersonates a GPU, disk, temperature, codec, or PDF utility associated with high-performance systems. This activity is often associated with poisoned search results leading to cryptojacking campaigns.
Detects network activity associated with the Turla group's STOCKSTAY malware infrastructure. This includes downloading MSI installers or server scripts from GitHub, as well as WebSocket C2 communications with the onrender.com platform.
Detects the use of the Windows certutil.exe utility for potentially suspicious file operations, including downloading files from remote URLs via 'urlcache' or 'split', or encoding/decoding files. This is a common Living-off-the-Land (LotL) technique used by attackers to stage malicious payloads or deobfuscate malicious content.
Detects potential 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks where users are lured into manually executing malicious PowerShell or CMD commands via the Windows Run dialog following a browser crash, or using finger.exe as a LOLBIN to download payloads.
This rule detects command line execution containing keywords associated with offensive security tools (e.g., 'metasploit', 'exploit', 'shellcode', 'payload') in conjunction with external resource indicators such as HTTP/HTTPS or FTP URLs, suggesting the download and potential execution of malicious payloads.
Detects the unauthorized installation and execution of cloudflared (a Cloudflare Tunnel binary). This rule monitors for PowerShell-based downloading of the binary, silent installation via msiexec, service installation commands, and cloudflared execution from unexpected parent processes, which are patterns often associated with adversary lateral movement or establishing persistence.
Detects instances where common web browsers (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, brave.exe, opera.exe) initiate command-line utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe) that include arguments indicative of downloading remote resources (curl, iwr, Invoke-WebRequest, bitsadmin, certutil). This pattern is frequently used to download and execute second-stage malicious payloads.
Detects instances where common web browsers (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, brave.exe, opera.exe) initiate command-line utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe) that include arguments indicative of downloading remote resources (curl, iwr, Invoke-WebRequest, bitsadmin, certutil). This pattern is frequently used to download and execute second-stage malicious payloads.
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 the execution of PowerShell with suspicious download-related commands (Invoke-WebRequest, DownloadFile, WebClient, IEX, DownloadString) when initiated through conhost.exe, specifically when the originating parent process is a common shell or utility associated with shortcut (.lnk) file execution or specific command patterns.
This rule detects activity associated with a known malicious campaign involving 'Photo ZIP' themed lures. It identifies DNS queries to actor-controlled domains, the spawning of PowerShell by Explorer.exe with command lines referencing photo-related filenames or external file-sharing services, and the subsequent downloading of the node.exe runtime to user-accessible directories (consistent with TonRAT delivery).
