Detects attempts to disable, stop, or reconfigure security software (Antivirus, EDR, Endpoint Protection) on Windows endpoints by abusing legitimate administrative utilities such as sc.exe, net.exe, taskkill.exe, wmic.exe, and PowerShell to tamper with service configurations or kill security-related processes.

Detects the clearing of Windows Event Logs via wevtutil, PowerShell, or registry modification, occurring within one hour of a remote interactive or network logon event on the same host. This pattern is indicative of anti-forensic activity often performed following lateral movement or prior to destructive actions like ransomware deployment.

Detects attempts to bypass or tamper with the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in-memory by monitoring command lines of common script-hosting processes (e.g., PowerShell, WScript, Rundll32) for strings indicative of AmsiScanBuffer patching, reflection, or manual configuration of AMSI initialization states.

Detects instances where PowerShell or pwsh processes are initiated directly by explorer.exe containing command-line arguments indicative of obfuscated or hidden execution, often used in ClickFix-style social engineering attacks where victims are coerced into pasting malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog.

This rule detects persistence establishment via Scheduled Task creation shortly (within 15 minutes) after a suspicious PowerShell process execution. The PowerShell execution matches the 'ClickFix' pattern, characterized by hidden/bypass window styles and the invocation of remote download or execution cmdlets (e.g., IEX, IRM).

This rule detects a multi-stage attack pattern involving potential social engineering via lookalike conferencing domains. It identifies users visiting suspicious domains resembling well-known conferencing platforms (e.g., Teams, Meet, Zoom), followed by modifications to the Windows RunMRU registry key and subsequent execution of suspicious commands (PowerShell, CMD, mshta) by explorer.exe within a short timeframe.

Detects suspicious PowerShell process executions initiated by Windows Explorer that include command-line arguments typically used for downloading and executing content from the internet. This pattern is commonly associated with fileless malware execution or malicious script droppers.

This rule detects potential ClickFix/InstallFix attacks where a user is socially engineered to copy and paste a malicious command from a website that mimics a legitimate developer tool installation (e.g., Claude Code, NotebookLM). The detection flags the use of common download-and-execute cmdlets (e.g., irm, iwr, iex) within common Windows shell interpreters while excluding known legitimate vendor install domains.

Detects the execution of PowerShell or PWSH with encoded command flags (-EncodedCommand, -enc, -e), which is a common technique used by adversaries to hide malicious scripts or payloads from inspection.

001
Detects the execution of PowerShell commands that leverage obfuscation or evasion techniques such as Base64 encoded commands, hidden window styles, in-memory script downloads via IEX, and common string obfuscation methods like backtick insertion, character concatenation, and casting. These techniques are frequently used by adversaries to bypass command-line monitoring and execute malicious payloads.

Detects common suspicious PowerShell command-line patterns often used for malicious purposes, including base64-encoded command execution, hidden-window execution with common evasion flags, and the use of download/execution cmdlets for in-memory payload delivery.

Detects the modification of Windows Run or RunOnce registry keys to execute applications from suspicious paths (e.g., Temp, AppData) or trigger PowerShell commands that contain suspicious arguments or patterns, indicating potential persistence mechanisms.

Detects a multi-stage process execution chain involving PowerShell: first, a script-based download of remote content, followed by in-memory reflection, and finally, suspicious memory allocation or thread manipulation within the same process context. This pattern is characteristic of fileless malware execution chains designed to evade disk-based detection.

Detects anomalous execution of PowerShell commands spawned by processes identified as 'javaw.exe' or 'GlobalTellurSync.exe' (associated with DragonForce backdoor activity). The detection focuses on instances where these processes launch from non-standard user-writable directories (e.g., AppData, Temp) and execute PowerShell commands that contain obfuscated arguments or payloads, while excluding standard scheduled task invocations.

Detects the execution of PowerShell processes using suspicious command-line flags, encoding, or built-in .NET network download methods (e.g., IEX, Net.WebClient, DownloadString). The rule excludes signed PowerShell binaries and common system management tools like SCCM or monitoring agents to reduce false positives.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender settings (e.g., disabling real-time monitoring, adding exclusions, or stopping services) using the Set-MpPreference cmdlet or service control commands. This technique is frequently utilized by ransomware actors, such as the ALPHV/BlackCat group, to neutralize security protections prior to executing malicious payloads.

Detects the use of PowerShell Set-MpPreference commands to disable multiple Microsoft Defender security features, including real-time monitoring, behavioral scanning, and threat detection actions. This activity is consistent with ransomware behavior, such as Nova or The Gentlemen families, attempting to neutralize endpoint protection before proceeding with malicious actions like file encryption.
