This rule detects attempts to clear Windows Event Logs using the 'wevtutil.exe' command-line utility or by identifying the generated Windows Security Event ID 1102 (Audit log was cleared). It tracks multiple instances of log clearing to identify suspicious bulk log deletion activity.
Detects the use of the wevtutil.exe utility to clear the Microsoft-Windows-Defender/Operational event log, a technique used by adversaries to disrupt security monitoring and hide malicious activity.
Detects attempts to clear Windows event logs using built-in utilities such as wevtutil.exe or PowerShell cmdlets (Clear-EventLog, Clear-WinEvent). Adversaries often perform this action to remove traces of malicious activity from the system.
Detects the use of the 'wevtutil.exe' utility to clear Windows Event Logs. This is a common technique used by adversaries to disrupt logging and evade detection of their actions on a host. The rule specifically monitors for the 'cl' (clear-log) command applied to sensitive operational channels, triggering when multiple clearing operations are detected within a 5-minute window.
Detects attempts to clear Windows event logs using administrative tools like wevtutil.exe, PowerShell, or through the detection of mass log-clear audit events (such as Event IDs 1102 and 104) occurring in a rapid burst. This activity is often used by adversaries to hide evidence of post-compromise actions.
The following analytic identifies the use of the esxcli system auditrecords commands, which can be used to tamper with logging on an ESXi host.
This action may indicate an attempt to evade detection or hinder forensic analysis by preventing the recording of system-level audit events.
This action may indicate an attempt to evade detection or hinder forensic analysis by preventing the recording of system-level audit events.
Detects the deletion of the Windows Application Event Log registry key. This action is a known technique used by adversaries to disable or tamper with event logging mechanisms to conceal malicious activity.
Detects multiple defense evasion techniques typically associated with the Monkey ransomware family, including clearing Windows Event Logs, clearing PowerShell command history, tampering with AMSI and ETW, modifying Microsoft Defender exclusions, and disabling Task Manager or CMD via registry keys.
Detects attempts to delete, truncate, or overwrite critical system logs and user command history files (such as /var/log/auth.log, syslog, or .bash_history) on Linux systems using common utilities like rm, shred, and truncate. The rule includes exclusions for legitimate system maintenance processes like logrotate and cron.
Detects the use of wevtutil.exe to clear the Microsoft-Windows-Defender/Operational event log, which is often done by adversaries to remove evidence of security software activity or detection.
Detects potential anti-forensic activity involving the clearing of multiple Windows Event Logs within a short time frame using the 'wevtutil' utility. This behavior is often indicative of an adversary attempting to remove traces of post-compromise activity.
Detects attempts to clear Windows event logs using administrative tools like wevtutil.exe, PowerShell, or through the detection of mass log-clear audit events (such as Event IDs 1102 and 104) occurring in a rapid burst. This activity is often used by adversaries to hide evidence of post-compromise actions.
Detects attempts to clear Windows event logs using administrative tools like wevtutil.exe, PowerShell, or through the detection of mass log-clear audit events (such as Event IDs 1102 and 104) occurring in a rapid burst. This activity is often used by adversaries to hide evidence of post-compromise actions.
Detects potential tampering with Windows Event Logs or audit services by correlating manual service stops or log clearing events (EventIDs 1100, 1102, 104, 7036, 7040) with a sudden, significant decrease in total event volume on the same host. The rule accounts for planned maintenance and legitimate event log service restarts to reduce noise.
This rule monitors for suspicious process execution patterns that suggest system tampering, security tool evasion, or data concealment. It detects activities such as clearing event logs, modifying Windows Defender preferences (exclusions/real-time monitoring), creating suspicious scheduled tasks, deleting volume shadow copies, and using PowerShell for credential or system state manipulation.
This rule monitors for a collection of adversarial behaviors on Windows systems, including persistence mechanisms via scheduled tasks and registry run keys, tampering with security services (VSS, Windows Defender), credential harvesting attempts (LSASS memory), log and history clearing, and external network communication to known IP geolocation services.
