Detects the execution of PowerShell with the -NoProfile flag initiated by wscript.exe or cscript.exe, containing sleep/delay commands alongside network download functions. This pattern is characteristic of malware loaders or RMM phishing kits attempting to evade sandbox analysis before initiating a remote download.
This rule detects activity associated with the exploitation of PaperCut vulnerabilities. It looks for connections to known malicious IP addresses, the presence of specific credential harvesting tools, reconnaissance commands (whoami, tasklist) executed by the PaperCut application (pc-app.exe), suspicious PowerShell downloads of AnyDesk, and unauthorized access to PaperCut configuration files or log files containing known exploit strings.
Detects instances where a suspicious PowerShell, mshta, or pwsh command, typically involving download or obfuscation patterns, is launched as a child process of Windows Explorer within two minutes of a modification to the Explorer RunMRU registry key. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to achieve execution, often following user interaction or persistence triggers.
Detects instances where a Node.js process (node.exe) initiates command-line interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) with specific arguments or command lines associated with administrative or potentially obfuscated/automated script execution. This is a common pattern for post-exploitation activities or legitimate administrative automation.
Detects evidence of PowerShell execution occurring within a GitLab CI runner environment that exhibits characteristics of command-and-control (C2) activity. This rule monitors PowerShell Script Block Logging (Event ID 4104) for indicators such as specific CI environment variables (e.g., CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE=api, GIT_STRATEGY=none), static job names associated with known exploitation patterns (e.g., CI_JOB_NAME=run_command), and the dynamic execution of commands using Invoke-Expression (IEX) on environmental variables.
Detects the execution of PowerShell via a shortcut (.lnk) file that attempts to download and execute remote content using 'Invoke-WebRequest'. The command lines use common obfuscation techniques like 'Hidden' window style and 'Bypass' execution policy, targeting specific known malicious URL patterns or filename keywords.
Detects attempts to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in PowerShell. The rule looks for command-line arguments referencing AMSI-related memory structures, methods, and DLLs such as AmsiUtils, AmsiScanBuffer, AmsiInitFailed, and amsi.dll. Bypassing AMSI is a common technique used by attackers to execute malicious scripts and deploy fileless payloads, such as Cobalt Strike or Sliver, while avoiding detection by endpoint security solutions.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with encoded commands (e.g., -EncodedCommand or -enc) combined with common download cradle indicators such as IEX, Net.WebClient, or DownloadString. This combination is highly indicative of fileless malware execution, initial access payload staging, or defense evasion techniques often employed by threat actors to bypass command-line monitoring.
Detects execution of PowerShell or Python scripts characterized by common patterns found in AI-generated code, including specific obfuscation techniques (base64, string manipulation), boilerplate error handling structures, verbose comments, and generic variable naming conventions. High scores indicate a higher probability of automated or obfuscated script execution.
Detects the use of PowerShell to remove the 'Zone.Identifier' NTFS Alternate Data Stream from a file, effectively bypassing Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW) security protections. This behavior is often associated with the 'Unblock-File' cmdlet and is used by adversaries to execute downloaded malicious files without security warnings.
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 with command-line arguments that suggest programmatically capturing or redirecting console output using ScriptBlock techniques (Create, Console, In, ReadToEnd). This pattern is often associated with obfuscated script execution, in-memory payloads, or attempts to bypass logging by capturing output via .NET streams.
Detects the spawning of cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or powershell_ise.exe by the WMI Provider Host (wmiprvse.exe). This pattern is frequently used for fileless lateral movement, as threat actors leverage WMI (Win32_Process.Create) to execute remote commands which manifests as wmiprvse.exe launching a shell on the target host.
Detects attempts to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in PowerShell by monitoring script block logs for specific patterns used to disable or manipulate memory scanning mechanisms, a common precursor to executing malicious, memory-resident payloads.
This rule detects PowerShell processes (including pwsh and ISE) referencing Anti-Malware Scan Interface (AMSI) related classes and methods in their command line arguments. This is a common indicator of an attempt to interact with or manipulate AMSI, often used to bypass or disable security scanning during the execution of malicious scripts.

This is a common indicator of an attempt to interact with or manipulate AMSI, often used to bypass or disable security scanning during the execution of malicious scripts.
Detects attempts to bypass or tamper with the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in PowerShell by monitoring for common bypass techniques such as reflective loading of AmsiUtils, tampering with the amsiInitFailed field, or memory patching of AmsiScanBuffer via Script Block Logging (EventID 4104).
Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line flags (EncodedCommand, NoProfile, WindowStyle Hidden, ExecutionPolicy Bypass) combined with either potential Base64-encoded payloads or network-based download cradles (e.g., Invoke-Expression, WebClient).
Detects Active Directory enumeration consistent with BloodHound/SharpHound collection: SharpHound.exe or PowerView cmdlet process/command-line signatures, matching PowerShell script block log content, and bursts of LDAP traffic (ports 389/636) from a single source to a domain controller.
Detects suspicious PowerShell ScriptBlock logs (Event ID 4104) that attempt to bypass security features like AMSI or ETW while employing common obfuscation techniques such as Base64 encoding, reflection, or character concatenation.
