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.

This rule detects two distinct exploitation patterns: first, WinRAR (CVE-2023-38831) spawning script interpreters as child processes, typically indicative of opening malicious archives. Second, explorer.exe (CVE-2023-36025) spawning hidden PowerShell sessions, a technique used to bypass Windows SmartScreen protections via malicious LNK shortcuts.

This rule detects potentially malicious PowerShell, CMD, or PWSH command execution characterized by obfuscation techniques (such as Base64 encoding, decompression, or hidden command arguments) that are followed closely in time by network connections to public AI service domains (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Generative Language, Mistral, Cohere). The detection correlates process-start events with outbound network requests from processes other than standard web browsers, suggesting potentially unauthorized use of AI APIs for exfiltration or automated processing of command results.

Detects ClickFix-style activity where a user is tricked into entering or pasting malicious command strings into the Windows File Explorer address bar. This activity results in the spawning of common utilities like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or certutil.exe with arguments associated with UNC paths, Base64 encoding, or download cradles (e.g., IEX, bitsadmin, or URLCache operations).

Detects obfuscated PowerShell command lines indicative of malicious file downloading and execution. The detection logic searches for specific indicators such as 'scriptblock', '::create', and numeric obfuscation patterns paired with common .NET web client methods ('net.webclient', 'downloadfile', 'downloadstring') used for staged payloads.

Detects host-based reconnaissance activity involving system, network, and security software enumeration using standard administrative tools (e.g., PowerShell, WMI, netsh) that is followed by an outbound network connection to a known or suspicious implant check-in endpoint within a 30-minute window.

Detects signs of the ClosedQuorum implant by correlating at least two redundant persistence mechanisms (Registry Run keys, Scheduled Tasks, WMI execution) on the same host within a 10-minute window. The rule focuses on artifacts originating from suspicious user-writable paths or unsigned binaries, while excluding known legitimate installation paths.

This rule detects potential staging activity for ClickFix or Vidar malware campaigns. It identifies the creation of files or folders in directories mimicking Windows Diagnostics infrastructure (WDI) or known payload paths, correlated with the execution of suspicious PowerShell commands or archive-related utilities within a 30-minute window on the same device.

Detects the execution of PowerShell from web browser parent processes (chrome, edge, firefox, iexplore) using obfuscation techniques (hidden window, encoded command, no profile) combined with an indicator of WebDAV access (DavWWWRoot), which is commonly used to execute payloads from remote network shares.

Detects PowerShell commands that load images (JPG/PNG) and parse their pixel data for encoded payloads. This technique, often associated with Invoke-PSImage, uses steganography to hide malicious scripts within image files, which are then extracted using GDI+ methods (GetPixel) or byte manipulation and executed in-memory via IEX or assembly reflection.

FileFix (mr.d0x, June 2025) tricks victims into pasting a clipboard payload into the File Explorer address bar; explorer.exe directly spawns the hidden shell command with no legitimate GUI file-open lineage.

Detects MayaBot's scheduled-task persistence chain by correlating two signals on the same device within a 60-minute window: (1) schtasks.exe creating a daily task referencing a hidden batch script (update.bat/backup.bat/firewall-update.bat) under AppData\Local, spawned from wscript.exe/cscript.exe/cmd.exe, and (2) cmd.exe launching a hidden-window PowerShell process referencing the same batch scripts under AppData\Local. Requiring both signals together, anchored to the AppData\Local path, sharply reduces false positives compared to alerting on either behavior alone.

Detects the persistence and execution mechanism of the Lunex Native Messaging Host backdoor. The rule identifies the registration of the 'com.lunex.explorer' native messaging host registry key and the subsequent invocation of PowerShell scripts from browser processes (chrome.exe or msedge.exe) containing specific backdoor command arguments like 'list_drives' or 'run'.
