Detects a file named dnsapi.dll created/modified outside System32/SysWOW64/WinSxS (the only legitimate locations for the real system DLL). Now requires the file to BOTH land in one of the known NeedyMantis sideload staging folders AND match the published 3448-byte spoofed-config size -- previously the size check alone could match unrelated dnsapi.dll copies anywhere on disk; requiring both signals together removes that bypass.

Detects behavior indicative of the MLTBackdoor malware, specifically the creation or modification of a DLL file (such as *dlp.dll) shortly after or before the creation of an RC4-encrypted 'data.bin' file on the same host. The rule also looks for an optional preceding archive extraction event of common file types from Temp or Downloads directories by standard extraction utilities, which may indicate the staging of the initial payload.
Detects a behavioral fingerprint associated with the NeedyMantis group, characterized by the creation of a DLL and a identically-named, extensionless, encrypted archive file in the same directory within a short time window. This approach identifies the underlying packaging strategy rather than relying on static file names or known paths.
This rule monitors for the creation or renaming of executable files (.exe) within the 'Users\Public' directory. This directory is commonly used by adversaries for staging malicious payloads, as it is writable by standard users and often overlooked by security controls.
Detects file creation, renaming, or deletion events within the Recycle Bin directory involving suspicious filenames or PDF files, which may indicate an adversary attempting to hide, stage, or delete evidence.
Detects the 'comet.exe' process (Perplexity AI agent) performing file read, write, rename, or creation operations outside of standard browser paths (e.g., AppData, Temp, Downloads). This behavior potentially indicates the process is being leveraged for unauthorized data access or staging files on the local filesystem.
Detects file removal, write, or rename operations performed by the Node.js process within the 'node_modules' directory, specifically targeting sensitive files like 'sharedLoad.min.js' or paths containing 'extended' or 'btree'. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity related to software supply chain compromise or unauthorized modification of dependencies within a Node.js application environment.
Detects patterns associated with the TeamFiltration backdoor module, specifically unauthorized OneDrive/SharePoint file modifications occurring shortly after an authentication from a previously unseen device/IP. The rule flags file changes (modifications, deletions, or renames) involving potential executable or script extensions, or those performed by the OneDrive SyncEngine app from a new source.

This rule detects mass file modification, creation, or renaming activity involving files with the '.krsid' extension. The threshold is set to monitor for more than 20 occurrences, which is indicative of potential ransomware encryption activity, while explicitly excluding common system, temporary, and development paths, and filtering out processes explicitly performing shadow copy deletion.
Detects the copying of the legitimate Windows curl.exe binary from System32 to a user-writable directory (such as AppData\Local\Temp) and renaming it. This is a common LOLBin (Living Off the Land Binary) technique used by adversaries to disguise the utility as a benign application to evade detection while facilitating the download of second-stage payloads.
Detects instances where the Windows command shell (cmd.exe) creates, modifies, or renames specific suspicious files ('My_Resume.pdf', 'Documents_Details.pdf') within the 'ProgramData' directory, often associated with execution of batch files or file copy operations that may indicate staging of malicious payloads.
This rule detects the execution of cmd.exe or powershell.exe where the command line arguments involve the deletion or renaming of specific file names potentially associated with unauthorized activities or malware components. It looks for common command-line utilities (del, ren) being used by command shells on specific files that may indicate artifact cleanup or staging.

It looks for common command-line utilities (del, ren) being used by command shells on specific files that may indicate artifact cleanup or staging.
Detects behavior indicative of KRSID ransomware, characterized by mass file renaming to the .krsid extension and the creation of a 'ransomware-silent.Log' file. The detection specifically correlates this activity with the absence of vssadmin shadow copy deletion commands, which is an atypical behavior for most ransomware families, thereby serving as a distinguishing heuristic.
Detects unauthorized access, modification, or creation of the FileZilla 'sitemanager.xml' configuration file by a process other than the legitimate 'filezilla.exe'. This is a common indicator of an adversary attempting to steal stored FTP credentials or modify connection configurations.
Detects unauthorized write, create, or rename operations on the Windows HOSTS file (\drivers\etc\hosts). The rule excludes common system processes and paths associated with legitimate administrative or update activities, targeting potentially malicious attempts to redirect network traffic by modifying DNS resolution locally.
This rule detects the creation, modification, or renaming of files that contain sensitive keywords (e.g., 'password', 'seed', 'wallet', 'recovery') by processes other than standard system or productivity applications. This activity is indicative of credential or sensitive data harvesting.
