This detection rule identifies the creation of ISO (.iso) files on endpoints, specifically focusing on those created by common internet browsers and email clients. This activity is associated with the SLOW#TEMPEST campaign, which is known to distribute malware payloads via ISO files, often bundled with legitimate applications and malicious DLLs. The rule aims to detect the initial delivery vector of this threat.

This rule detects suspicious activity where a file is first downloaded to the 'Downloads' folder and subsequently executed from the 'Public' folder on the same device within a 24-hour timeframe. This behavior can indicate an attempt to bypass security controls or stage malicious payloads in a commonly accessible location.

This detection identifies failed file download attempts on ESXi hosts by looking for specific error messages in the system logs. These failures may indicate unauthorized or malicious attempts to install or update components—such as VIBs or scripts

This package searches for evidence of Windows Shortcut (.lnk) files executing code to download a .wsf file from a remote WebDAV share hosted on a trycloudflare[.]com subdomain. This package searches in both web logs and endpoint process logs.
An ongoing malware campaign tracked as SERPENTINE#CLOUD has been identified as leveraging the Cloudflare Tunnel infrastructure and Python-based loaders to deliver memory-injected payloads through a chain of shortcut files and obfuscated scripts.
For initial access, the threat actors are luring users to execute malicious .lnk files (shortcut files) disguised as documents to silently fetch and execute remote code.
These payloads use cmd.exe to silently retrieve additional stages over WebDAV (via Cloudflare Tunnel subdomains) and invoke WSF or batch-based droppers.
trycloudflare[.]com allows a threat actor to expose a tunnel to the internet using legitimate infrastructure that will likely blend into benign traffic. trycloudflare dynamically generates subdomains formed of random words and so it's not enough to just look for such connections since they are also used by developers in testing. Therefore this search looks for further procedures attributed to the campaign.

This analytic detects outbound network connections initiated by command-line tools such as `curl` or `wget` as observed in Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs. It specifically looks for allowed connections where the `EVE_Process` or `ClientApplication` fields indicate the use of these utilities. While these tools have legitimate uses, adversaries frequently abuse them to download malicious payloads, retrieve additional tools, or establish staging infrastructure on compromised systems. Detection of this activity may indicate the download phase of an attack chain or the retrieval of command-and-control utilities.

The following analytic detects the use of the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) client application in allowed outbound connections. It leverages logs from Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense devices and identifies instances where BITS is used to initiate downloads from non-standard or unexpected domains. While BITS is a legitimate Windows service used for downloading updates, it is also commonly abused by adversaries to stealthily retrieve payloads or tools. This analytic filters out known Microsoft Edge update URLs and focuses on connections that may indicate suspicious or unauthorized file transfers. If confirmed malicious, this could represent a command and control (C2) channel or a download of malware or tooling as part of an attack chain.

Detects suspicious script download attempts initiated by a Java process, indicative of potential JDWP exploitation leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). Attackers often leverage exposed JDWP interfaces to execute commands like downloading and running malicious scripts.

This YARA rule detects the ChaosRAT backdoor by identifying specific byte sequences related to its network communication, system information gathering, and file download capabilities. The rule includes three distinct versions of these functionalities, indicating evolution or different variants of the malware. Detection relies on the presence of these unique byte patterns within executable files, specifically ELF files as indicated by the magic byte check.
