The following analytic detects a process loading the credui.dll or wincredui.dll module. This detection leverages Sysmon EventCode 7 to identify instances where these DLLs are loaded by processes outside typical system directories. This activity is significant because adversaries often abuse these modules to create fake credential prompts or dump credentials, posing a risk of credential theft. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to harvest user credentials, leading to unauthorized access and potential lateral movement within the network.

Detects endpoint and network activity matching known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) associated with BPFDoor, AVERAT, and Rekoobe backdoors based on Rapid7 research. The query checks for specific file hashes, IP addresses, and domain names across process, file, image load, network, and DNS events.

Point-in-time sweep of the 16 published BraZetsu sample SHA-256 hashes across file, process and image-load telemetry. Hashes rotated across five versions, so absence of a hit does not rule out BraZetsu.

This rule detects potential DLL sideloading by monitoring known legitimate Windows binaries that are commonly abused to load malicious DLLs from non-standard directories (i.e., not System32, SysWOW64, or WinSxS). This activity is often associated with the TerminalFix / Lorem Ipsum Loader campaign.

This rule detects potential DLL sideloading activity associated with the Lorem Ipsum Loader. It monitors image load events to identify specific legitimate Windows binaries (often used for sideloading) that load non-system DLLs. The rule filters out legitimate DLL loads from standard Windows system directories to highlight anomalous behavior.

Detects the loading of an unsigned or invalidly signed DLL from commonly abused user-writable directories (Temp, AppData, Public). This behavior is characteristic of DLL side-loading techniques, often used by threat actors like the Lazarus Group to execute malicious code via a legitimate, trusted application.

Detects the loading of WPF/XAML-related assemblies (PresentationFramework.dll, System.Xaml.dll, or PresentationCore.dll) by the SharePoint web server process (w3wp.exe). This behavior is highly irregular for typical SharePoint web worker processes and may indicate an exploitation attempt targeting deserialization vulnerabilities leading to remote code execution.

This rule detects the loading of a suspicious DLL file named 'active_desktop_render_x64.dll' or the initiation of activity by a process named 'PDF_C2089_20260911100446.exe', which may indicate the execution of malicious code or potential process injection activity.

Detects a suspicious execution sequence associated with the SectopRAT loader. The rule monitors for ReportDump.exe being launched from a ProgramData directory by common scheduling or service host processes, followed immediately by the loading of a malicious sdkcra.dll library.

Detects the loading of known DLLs (WinSparkle.dll, libcurl.dll, vim64.dll, dbghelp.dll, jli.dll, nvml.dll) from suspicious or non-standard file paths. The rule cross-references these image loads with file activity, identifying potential side-loading scenarios where a library is loaded from an unexpected directory or within an archive-related context. It also includes an explicit hash-based detection for a known malicious file.

Detects a potential process hollowing technique where 'Finalized.dll' (loaded from unconventional locations like a ComponentsFolder or System32) is used to spawn 'clspack.exe' in a suspended state from a non-standard path (e.g., AppData\Microsoft). This sequence indicates an attempt to mask malicious execution under a legitimate process name.

This rule detects potential DLL sideloading activity where legitimate, signed binaries (such as COTFileReadApp.exe or DeElevate64.exe) are executed from non-standard directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, Downloads) while loading specifically identified malicious or sideloaded DLLs. The detection identifies patterns where these binaries operate outside their expected vendor installation paths, indicating a likely attempt to hijack execution flow.

Detects a .ps1-named file being loaded as an executable image or created as a process's own file name (both anomalous under normal Windows semantics, since PowerShell always runs scripts via powershell.exe/pwsh.exe as the process image, never as the .ps1 itself). Anchored to the known NeedyMantis sideload staging folders to exclude unrelated developer/test tooling elsewhere on disk that might trip a similar anomaly.

This rule detects potential DLL side-loading attempts involving the legitimate Microsoft Defender binary 'mpextms.exe'. The rule triggers when 'mpextms.exe' is executed from a non-standard, user-writable directory (e.g., Temp, AppData, Downloads) and subsequently loads a specific 'endpointdlp.dll' from an equally suspicious location, indicating a potential attempt to masquerade malicious code execution behind a trusted process.

This rule performs a point-in-time sweep for known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) associated with the NeedyMantis threat actor group. The detection logic searches for specific file, process, and image-load SHA256 hashes, communication with a known C2 domain (tripswithengine.com), and the use of a hard-coded user-agent string (Firefox/21.0) across various telemetry sources within the last 30 days.

Detects the two Windows-networking-named DLLs the report confirms as sideloaded via the normal OS loader (WinSparkle.dll, libcurl.dll) plus vim64.dll (a filename Vim's real installer never produces at all). Path check now covers any location outside a small allowlist of known-legitimate vendor install folders, not just ProgramData, so it also catches the reported ProgramData\\USOShared, ProgramData\\VIM, and ProgramData\\TightVNC\\VIM placements. Known limitation: the one reported case where the malicious WinSparkle.dll sits at the exact canonical Program Files\\Poedit path cannot be distinguished by path alone -- that specific sideload is instead caught by the companion 'Extensionless Archive Paired with Same-Named DLL Drop' rule via the archive-pairing signal.
