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.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity where multiple critical processes (such as database engines or email clients) are terminated in a short time frame, correlated with a high volume of file creation or modification events on the same device. This behavior is indicative of destructive activity, such as ransomware encrypting data stores or disabling defensive software.

This rule detects file creation or modification events occurring within the 'ProgramData\ZlibDate' directory. This specific path and the associated file extensions (.Dat and .zip) are frequently associated with data staging activities or unauthorized file management by malicious software attempting to persist or exfiltrate data under the guise of legitimate application data.

Detects suspicious modifications to browser 'Secure Preferences' files associated with known bypass techniques for extension integrity checks, coupled with browser process termination and subsequent relaunch using the --restore-last-session flag. This pattern is consistent with adversary activity attempting to inject malicious browser extensions by manipulating browser configuration files.

This rule detects Git repository modification events (such as pushes, branch creation, or reference creation) where the reference name matches a hexadecimal string (often indicative of a specific commit hash being pushed as a branch or tag) and the host is not github.com. This may indicate suspicious repository activity or interaction with non-standard or unauthorized code repositories.

Detects the creation or modification of specific system driver files (nvfsflt64.sys, Alinubx.sys) combined with the installation or initiation of a Windows service associated with NVIDIA filter names. This behavior is often indicative of persistence mechanisms, potential rootkit activity, or the deployment of vulnerable drivers (BYOVD).

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating three distinct indicators: deletion of Volume Shadow Copies (using native Windows utilities), mass file modifications (>100 files in 15 minutes), and the creation or modification of files typically associated with ransom notes. The rule uses an inner join to ensure these events happen within a 30-minute window of each other on the same device.

Detects the creation or modification of crontab files, as well as the execution of crontab commands, that involve suspicious paths (e.g., /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm, hidden files) or command obfuscation techniques such as base64 encoding. This behavior is often associated with the establishment of persistence by adversaries.

Detects instances where 'TieringEngineService.exe' or 'MsMpEng.exe' (Windows Defender) create, modify, or rename executable, library, or system files within the 'C:\Windows\System32\' directory. This behavior is highly irregular as these processes should not be authoring binaries in protected system folders, and may indicate process masquerading, unauthorized persistence, or defense evasion.

Detects execution patterns associated with 'NinjaMare' style malware, where a process masquerading as a browser (e.g., tenbrowser.exe, fireflybrowser.exe) performs an external IP geolocation lookup followed by suspicious registry or file modifications indicative of browser hijacking or extension installation within a five-minute window.

This rule detects modifications or creation of files named 'crond' in standard system paths ('/usr/bin' or '/usr/sbin') that occur within a 4-second window of an 'ssh' binary file event. This pattern is indicative of potential persistence establishment where an adversary replaces or modifies a system daemon while simultaneously interacting with SSH services.

This rule detects either the execution of a specific SSH daemon binary known to be trojanized or the creation/modification of files within the /var/lib/sshd/ directory, which is a common indicator of backdoor persistence or credential theft targeting SSH sessions.

Detects the creation or modification of files within the /tmp directory that follow a specific naming convention (t[number]_w.pipe) by an HAProxy process. This pattern is often associated with inter-process communication or potential post-exploitation activity where HAProxy is leveraged to handle named pipes for malicious command execution or data redirection.

Detects attempts to tamper with Microsoft Windows Defender configuration, specifically by modifying exclusion paths via PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference), direct registry modifications, or forced Group Policy updates. It also monitors for the disabling of Tamper Protection via registry and the creation of scheduled tasks designed to apply Defender exclusions.

This rule detects suspicious activity associated with JSCeal proxy handlers. It identifies Node.js or Electron processes running from non-standard, user-writable directories (such as AppData, ProgramData, or Temp folders) that actively delete or modify browser cookie files within standard web browser profile paths, often indicative of session hijacking or data tampering.

Detects PEEP Secure Preferences integrity-hash forgery (protection.macs/super_mac) and known PEEP persistence scripts (patch_secure_prefs.ps1, install_silent.ps1, force_enable.ps1), anchored to actual Chrome/Edge profile paths rather than generic terms like 'protection' or 'developer_mode' that appear in unrelated admin tooling.

Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows security controls, including disabling Windows SmartScreen via registry, bulk removal of Mark-of-the-Web (Zone.Identifier) via scripting, and disabling driver signature enforcement (TestSigning/NoIntegrityChecks) using BCDedit. These actions are indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass security protections to facilitate the execution of untrusted or malicious code.

This rule detects the creation, modification, or renaming of 'ntdll.dll' within a specific directory path matching the pattern 'ShieldCrash_{GUID}'. This pattern is indicative of potential malicious activity, such as the use of NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) for persistence or execution evasion. The rule explicitly excludes known legitimate system processes that may handle DLL files to minimize noise.

Detects suspicious file activity within directories named 'ShieldCrash' followed by a cloud provider registration or placeholder creation event within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized software or an adversary attempting to stage data for exfiltration or create persistent storage aliases outside of legitimate cloud client applications.

This rule detects suspicious file operations (creation, modification, or renaming) initiated by MsMpEng.exe (Microsoft Defender Antivirus) involving specific indicators related to ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) or 'ShieldCrash' components. These indicators often suggest tampering attempts or the presence of tools designed to interfere with Defender's security operations by targeting its configuration, staging, or protected storage locations.
