Detects high-volume file writes or the use of common command-line copy utilities (xcopy, robocopy, copy) targeting removable drive paths (E-G:). This behavior is often indicative of data staging or exfiltration activities.

Detects disguised malicious files, typically mimicking XML or MAP documents, that contain multiple PNG IDAT chunk markers but lack a valid PNG header and XML declaration. This signature is consistent with the HijackLoader staging technique, where XOR-encrypted and LZNT1-compressed data is hidden within the structure of spoofed file formats.

This rule detects when a single process modifies or creates three or more YAML files ('.yaml' or '.yml' extensions) within folders containing 'config' or 'pipeline' in their path, within a one-hour window. This behavior could indicate an attacker modifying configuration or deployment files, potentially for persistence, defense evasion, or impact.

This rule detects a high volume of file creation or modification events on removable media (e.g., USB drives). A count of 10 or more file operations within a one-hour window by a single initiating process account on paths containing 'USB' or 'Removable' is considered suspicious and may indicate data exfiltration or staging.

Detects instances where the Claude Code AI agent or its subprocesses are used to establish persistence. This is achieved by monitoring for crontab modifications or direct writes to SSH authorized_keys files, which are common indicators of post-exploitation activity following an Axiom-style indirect prompt injection.

109
This rule detects potential ransomware or remote access trojan (RAT) activity by identifying either specific command-line indicators (/encrypt, /decrypt) or a high volume of file modifications (create, modify, or rename) across multiple directories within a short time frame, which is characteristic of mass file encryption operations.

Detects unauthorized modifications to the 'system.conf' configuration file associated with the AnyDesk remote desktop application. Adversaries may modify this file to change AnyDesk settings, specifically to suppress the requirement for user consent when establishing remote interactive sessions, effectively allowing for stealthy persistence and unauthorized remote access.

Detects the creation or modification of a file named 'maisum.dat' on endpoint devices. This filename is often associated with malicious activity, including malware persistence or configuration staging, and warrants investigation to determine the nature of the file and the process that created it.

Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of a specific property list file ('com.apple.system.services.activity') within the macOS LaunchAgents directory, a common technique used by attackers to maintain persistence on compromised systems.

Detects the 'codesign' utility being invoked with flags '-fs' (force sign) and '--deep' (recursively sign) triggered by a shell process spawned from 'Script Editor'. This pattern is often used to bypass macOS Gatekeeper or attempt to re-sign malicious applications after tampering.

Detects the use of 'codesign' by 'Script Editor' on macOS to sign files within the '/Library/Application Support/' directory. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity, such as attempting to bypass Gatekeeper or signing tampered application files to maintain persistence or evade security controls.

Detects the download of potential steganographic image files (specifically .jpg extensions) from known malicious IP addresses, followed by the creation of a non-Microsoft-signed image file in the C:\Windows directory by the same process storyline. This behavior suggests the download and extraction of an embedded malicious payload.

Detects activity associated with the RoguePlanet exploit, which involves creating EICAR content and NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) within specific staging directories (wdtest_temp or RP_<UUID>). This behavior is intended to trigger Windows Defender scans and induce a TOCTOU race condition (CVE-2026-50656) by manipulating file operations near the wermgr.exe process.

Detects indicators of persistence on Linux systems, specifically targeting unauthorized cron job creation/deletion in /etc/cron.d/, execution of suspicious shell scripts (ssync.sh), modification of startup scripts (e.g., /etc/rc.d/cron), and execution of binaries from world-writable directories by cron or system daemons. This rule is designed to identify the footprint of known Linux-based persistence mechanisms associated with service account exploitation.

Detects anomalous file creation or modification events in sensitive Windows System32 directories originating from the Microsoft Defender process (MsMpEng.exe). Additionally, it detects when MsMpEng.exe spawns interactive shells (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe), which is indicative of potential exploitation of vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-33825, where attacker-controlled file operations are redirected via junction points.

Detects suspected RomulusLoader activity by identifying the sideloading of 'vulkan-1.dll' from non-standard directories, the creation of encrypted 'vulkan-1.bin' payload files, and the loading of unsigned DLLs from user-writable directories (Temp/AppData) by otherwise signed processes.

Detects potential credential dumping activity targeting sensitive files like NTDS.dit, SAM, and SYSTEM hives. This rule monitors for three primary indicators: unauthorized invocation of vssuirun.exe (often used for Volume Shadow Copy manipulation), exploitation of print command utilities to access sensitive system files, and the staging of critical credential files into temporary directory paths.

This rule detects the presence of a known malicious Chromium extension (ID: flkebkiofojicogddingbdmcmkpbplcd) that hijacks browser search functionality. The detection monitors for three distinct indicators: the creation of specific extension files within the Chromium directory, network communication with attacker-controlled domains (perplexity-ai.online, extension.tilda.ws), and registry modifications that override default search settings.

Detects unauthorized or suspicious installation and configuration of the OpenSSH server on Windows endpoints. This rule monitors for process creation of OpenSSH-related binaries, configuration of SSH services (e.g., via sc.exe, PowerShell, or winget), and modification of SSH-related configuration files and registry keys, which are often indicative of attackers establishing persistent backdoor access.

Detects cross-process memory injection techniques indicative of the Havoc framework's Demon agent. The rule monitors for Windows API injection sequences (VirtualAllocEx, WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread/NtCreateThreadEx), reflective image loads into explorer.exe, and Linux /proc/pid/mem direct memory writes used by the agent to persist or execute in-memory.

This rule detects the installation, service configuration, and key management activities associated with the OpenSSH server on both Windows and Linux environments. It monitors for commands related to installing OpenSSH capabilities or packages, starting the sshd service, modifying SSH registry keys on Windows, creating or modifying configuration files (sshd_config), and updating authorized_keys files. It also flags inbound network connections to non-standard or default SSH ports originating from external IP ranges.
