Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender exclusion paths by adding root drive letters or temporary directory paths. This behavior is indicative of defense evasion techniques often employed by ransomware families, such as Nova or Gentlemen, to prevent the scanning of files immediately prior to encryption.
Detects attempts to terminate security-related processes (AV/EDR) using common administrative tools including taskkill.exe, wmic.exe, and PowerShell Stop-Process. This behavior is frequently observed during the pre-encryption phase of ransomware attacks, such as Nova and Gentlemen, to evade detection.

Detects a multi-stage infection chain associated with RedFlick, involving the delivery of VHDX files or PDF attachments. The rule correlates malicious activities such as SSH-based tool download (using PermitLocalCommand), PowerShell-based PDF decoding/extraction, PowerShell VHDX disk mounting, and silent MSI installation from remote URLs. It monitors for these activities within user-writable directories like Downloads or Temp.

This rule detects instances where the Faronics Deploy Agent process initiates the installation or download of ScreenConnect remote access software via PowerShell or the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe). This pattern is often indicative of authorized RMM deployment, but it is also a common tactic for adversaries to establish persistent remote access to endpoints.

This pattern is often indicative of authorized RMM deployment, but it is also a common tactic for adversaries to establish persistent remote access to endpoints.
Detects a specific social-engineering pattern known as 'ClickFix' where a user is manipulated into opening the Windows Run dialog (explorer.exe) to manually execute commands. The rule identifies suspicious command-line arguments typically associated with initial access (e.g., PowerShell hidden/encoded execution, web downloads) followed by the execution of MSI installers or related malicious binaries (e.g., rnpkeys.exe) within a 30-minute window, indicative of the Sauron Loader infection chain.
This rule detects potential lateral movement by identifying processes spawned via WMI (e.g., wmic.exe, WmiPrvSE.exe) or PowerShell Remoting (WinRM, Invoke-Command, Enter-PSSession) that occur shortly after a successful network or remote interactive logon on the same host.
Detects the use of PowerShell or Windows Script Host to access files within common web browser cache directories combined with indicators of Base64 decoding and pixel data manipulation. This behavior is indicative of extracting malicious payloads hidden via steganography within browser-cached image files, a technique often used in phishing campaigns to evade detection.
Detects the Exvicy 'ClickFix' campaign execution chain where explorer.exe spawns a PowerShell process utilizing download commands (e.g., Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-RestMethod) to interact with known malicious domains or IP addresses, followed by the execution of installers (msiexec.exe) or tools (putty.exe) within a short timeframe.
Detects multiple reconnaissance commands executed by PowerShell processes running as the SYSTEM account. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to enumerate domain trusts, group memberships, or user sessions on a host to facilitate lateral movement or privilege escalation.
Detects the execution of PowerShell or PowerShell Core (pwsh) triggered by common Windows shell applications (explorer, mshta, wscript, cscript) where the command line contains indicators associated with the downloading of VelvetCake stager files, including specific GitHub raw content URLs or AppData paths referencing known stager filenames.
Detects the VelvetCake malware installation and operational pattern, which utilizes a scheduled task named 'OneDriveUpdateScheduler' to execute PowerShell scripts ('update1.ps1' or 'update2.ps1'). These scripts periodically retrieve modules or payloads from external infrastructure, specifically hardcoded C2 IPs or a dedicated GitHub repository.
This rule detects the suspicious combination of PowerShell scripts executing download commands (Invoke-WebRequest, etc.) while initiated by scripting hosts (wscript.exe, cscript.exe), followed by activity associated with remote support tools (LogMeIn, ConnectWise, etc.). It also identifies network connections associated with these remote management platforms, suggesting potential unauthorized remote access or tool staging.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with hidden window styles and encoded commands, initiated with High Integrity (Admin) privileges. This pattern is often indicative of bypasses for User Account Control (UAC) or malicious script execution where an adversary attempts to run elevated code while minimizing user visibility.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task intended to masquerade as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTask' using either schtasks.exe or PowerShell. The rule specifically monitors for tasks being registered in AppData/Roaming directories, which is a common indicator of persistence by malicious actors attempting to mimic legitimate Microsoft Edge update processes.

The rule specifically monitors for tasks being registered in AppData/Roaming directories, which is a common indicator of persistence by malicious actors attempting to mimic legitimate Microsoft Edge update processes.
Detects the use of PowerShell to add an exclusion to Microsoft Defender. The detection looks for common obfuscation flags (Hidden, NonI, NoP, Bypass) in the command line and targets the MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore executable or DLL for exclusion, which is a common persistence or evasion technique. It excludes parent processes known for administrative activity to reduce noise.
Detects the Kothamine post-installation technique where npm/node spawns PowerShell to reflectively load a .NET assembly stager into memory. This behavior is followed by the PowerShell process spawning anomalous instances of RuntimeBroker.exe or svchost.exe. These spawned processes exhibit suspicious characteristics, such as executing from non-standard file paths, having missing command-line arguments (like the required '-k' for svchost), or having an illegitimate parent process (powershell.exe) instead of standard system parents like services.exe or wininit.exe.
Detects the execution of the Kothamine injector by correlating three distinct stages: the use of PowerShell to create an AV exclusion for 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore', the dropping of the 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore' binary into the user's AppData directory, and subsequent process injection (OpenProcess/VirtualAllocEx/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread) into explorer.exe.
