Detects potential abuse of the Linux Magic SysRq (System Request) key by adversaries with root or sufficient privileges to manipulate or destabilize a system. Writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger can crash the system, kill processes, or bypass standard logging. Monitoring SysRq abuse helps detect stealthy post-exploitation activity.

This rule detects the PathWiper trojan by identifying specific byte patterns associated with its functionality. The patterns indicate the malware's capabilities to find volumes, enumerate files, discover shared network drives, and overwrite files, which are characteristic behaviors of wiper malware.

This rule detects suspicious file write and network activity that may indicate data exfiltration from a Windows Server using common tools like curl, ftp, or powershell. It correlates file creation/modification events with outbound network connections made by known exfiltration tools within a 5-minute window. This is useful for identifying insider threats, compromised servers, and automated exfiltration scripts.

This detection identifies the use of attrib.exe to remove hidden (-h) or system (-s) attributes from the Default.rdp file, which is automatically created in a user's Documents folder when a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session is initiated using mstsc.exe. The Default.rdp file stores session configuration details such as the remote host address and screen settings. Unhiding this file is uncommon in normal user behavior and may indicate that an attacker or red team operator is attempting to access or manipulate RDP connection history that was previously hiddenโ€”either by default or as part of an earlier anti-forensics effort. This activity may represent part of a broader pattern of reconnaissance or staging for credential reuse, lateral movement, or forensic analysis evasion. Monitoring for this behavior can help uncover suspicious manipulation of user artifacts and highlight interactive attacker activity on a compromised host.

This detection monitors the creation or modification of the Default.rdp file, typically found in the user's Documents folder. This file is automatically generated or updated by the Remote Desktop Connection client (mstsc.exe) when a user initiates an RDP session. It stores connection settings such as the last-used hostname, screen size, and other preferences. The presence or update of this file strongly suggests that an RDP session has been launched from the system. Since this file is commonly overlooked, it can serve as a valuable artifact in identifying remote access activity, including potential lateral movement or attacker-controlled sessions.

Detects the creation or modification of an unsigned Spotlight importer (.mdimporter) bundle within a user's Library/Spotlight directory on macOS. This activity is indicative of the Sploitlight TCC bypass technique (CVE-2025-31199), where an attacker leverages a malicious, unsigned importer to gain unauthorized access to TCC-protected data via the mds/mdworker processes.

This detection monitors the execution of 7zG.exeโ€”the 7-Zip GUI executableโ€”specifically when launched from the Traiolx Custom Utils or Kilo Verfair Tools directory under the userโ€™s Roaming profile (\\AppData\\Roaming\\Traiolx Custom Utils). It identifies suspicious command-line activity where 7zG.exe is used to decrypt or extract a file named drata.dat, used to load second payload.

This detection identifies when a file is created or modified on a host within a short time window after a USB storage device was inserted. This behavior can be indicative of malware spreading via removable media, where a payload is automatically dropped onto the system.
