This rule detects potential attempts to tamper with or bypass Windows Defender by monitoring for files or processes named 'ShieldCrash' occurring in close temporal proximity to the creation or modification of files within Windows Defender's shadow or scan directories (BaseNamedObjects\Restricted\WD_SHADOW_ or WD_SCAN). This behavior is often associated with malware attempting to evade security detection.

Detects Run key persistence pointing to the known VBScript staging directory (C:\Users\Public\Libraries\Default\Lib\Lib1) used by the worm-like ScreenConnect campaign (Aug 2026), matching known script filenames (WindowsServiceHost.vbs, 1.vbs-4.vbs) invoked via wscript.exe/cscript.exe.

The following analytic identifies processes running from file paths not typically associated with legitimate software. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on specific process paths within the Endpoint data model. This activity is significant because adversaries often use unconventional file paths to execute malicious code without requiring administrative privileges. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could indicate an attempt to bypass security controls, leading to unauthorized software execution, potential system compromise, and further malicious activities within the environment.

Detects unauthorized write, modification, or rename operations performed on the Windows hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) by processes that are not typically authorized for such activity, such as standard system processes (svchost, services, etc.).

This rule searches for any process, image load, or file events containing the string 'Stella_Gary' within file names, folder paths, or process command lines. This is a generic hunting rule typically used to identify artifacts, indicators, or files associated with a specific entity or project codename.

Detects unauthorized modifications to the Windows HOSTS file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). Adversaries frequently modify this file to perform DNS hijacking or domain redirection, steering users to malicious infrastructure or bypassing security controls. The rule filters out known legitimate system processes that typically interact with this file.

This rule detects files that feature a valid RTF file header (literal '{' followed by 'rtf1') at the start of the file, but lack standard RTF control words such as \ansi or \fonttbl. The presence of executable content, PowerShell commands, or script markers within these files indicates a file-type masquerading technique used to bypass security controls by disguising malicious payloads as RTF documents.

This rule detects email activity involving DocuSign-themed messages that contain attachments and also coincide with URL click events that redirect users to Microsoft-related login portals (e.g., login.microsoftonline.com or teams.microsoft.com) containing 'redirect' or 'redirect_uri' parameters. This behavior is indicative of a phishing attempt designed to capture credentials or perform OAuth consent phishing by mimicking legitimate document-signing workflows.

Detects suspicious DLL loads or file drops performed by security product processes (avp.exe, MsMpEng.exe) from directories outside of standard, trusted vendor paths. It specifically flags unsigned or invalidly signed DLLs, which is indicative of DLL sideloading techniques used to abuse security software workflows for potential privilege escalation.

This rule detects the presence or execution of a file named 'GlobalProtect.exe' within the Palo Alto GlobalProtect directory. It focuses on identifying potentially masqueraded or unauthorized binaries by monitoring file events and associated process execution. This pattern is commonly used by attackers to disguise malicious files as legitimate security software to evade detection.

Detects instances where VLC media player is launched from common temporary or untrusted directories (e.g., Downloads, Temp) with media files and subsequently crashes within a short window (2 minutes), as indicated by a corresponding werfault.exe error report. This behavior may indicate an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities within the VLC application by using a maliciously crafted file.

Detects the silent installation of remote monitoring and management (RMM) software using 'msiexec.exe' initiated by scripting engines (powershell.exe, wscript.exe, or cscript.exe). The rule targets installations occurring in user-writable directories, such as Temp or Downloads, which are common staging locations for malicious droppers, while excluding known legitimate software deployment paths.
