Detects mshta.exe initiating outbound network connections, followed closely by the execution of a powershell.exe process with an unusually large command line, or PowerShell script block events containing large, potentially obfuscated scripts. This behavior is indicative of 'DeepLoad' or 'ClickFix' style staging, where legitimate binaries are leveraged to download and execute heavily obfuscated payloads.

Detects potential credential theft or malicious browser extension installation (DeepLoad-style) by monitoring for browser extension manifest file drops or registry-based extension force-installs occurring shortly after suspicious PowerShell command execution (ClickFix-style) on the same device.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line arguments and obfuscation techniques commonly used by attackers to execute malicious code, including base64 encoded commands, bypass of execution policies, dynamic assembly loading, and caret-based obfuscation.

Detects suspicious process execution patterns associated with RMMCRAT, where the Windows SmartScreen process (smartscreen.exe) spawns cmd.exe, which subsequently launches PowerShell with specific parameters for piped input/output. This behavior is characteristic of malicious code injection and command-and-control activity.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender exclusions by adding a path or process located in user-controlled directories (Downloads, Temp, AppData). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries attempting to suppress security alerts for malicious binaries masquerading as legitimate software.

Detects the execution of base64 encoded PowerShell commands initiated by conhost.exe with the --headless flag. The decoded command contains specific suspicious patterns, including accessing environment variables, reading file content, and deleting files, which is characteristic of malicious scripts attempting to stealthily interact with the environment.

Detects the use of PowerShell to perform COM database enumeration, often associated with OleViewDotNet or NtObjectManager tools, specifically looking for indicators of COM object querying such as InProcServer32 path identification.

Detects instances of PowerShell being launched directly by Windows Explorer (explorer.exe), which is indicative of a user interacting with the 'Run' dialog (Win+R). The rule specifically flags common ClickFix social-engineering patterns, such as hidden windows and the use of download/execution cmdlets (e.g., Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-RestMethod) used to fetch and run remote payloads.

This rule detects malicious PowerShell execution originating from common Office or script-based parent processes (explorer.exe, mshta.exe, wscript.exe). The detection specifically looks for hidden command-line flags combined with indicators related to the Konni/VelvetCake campaign, such as specific artifact filenames (update1.vbs, update2.ps1) or remote downloads from raw.githubusercontent.com.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'OneDriveUpdateScheduler' and the subsequent execution of 'update1.ps1' or 'update2.ps1' by 'explorer.exe'. This behavior is associated with the Konni/VelvetCake malware families, which use this technique to maintain persistence and C2 connectivity.

Detects execution of PowerShell commands initiated by LNK files, characteristic of Konni/VelvetCake spear-phishing campaigns. The rule monitors for PowerShell processes launched by shell applications (explorer, rundll32, etc.) using hidden windows and fetching specific malware-related filenames or downloading from AppData directories.

Detects second-stage reconnaissance patterns indicative of the VelvetCake framework. The rule identifies PowerShell execution that combines multiple discovery commands (system information, network configuration, process listing, file system inspection, and antivirus/security software enumeration) within a single execution sequence or related process events.

Detects post-exploitation shell activity spawned from the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe), narrowed to command lines carrying encoded/obfuscated PowerShell flags, remote-download cradles, or basic recon/persistence commands (whoami, certutil, bitsadmin, schtasks, reg add). This reduces noise from benign w3wp.exe-initiated automation while retaining the behavioral pattern seen in the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX unauthenticated RCE chain (webshell/in-memory DLL execution dropping to a shell).

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 PowerShell processes using the .NET System.IO.File methods (SetLastWriteTime, SetCreationTime, SetLastAccessTime) to modify file timestamps, a common anti-forensic technique to obfuscate file creation or modification times.

Detects the execution of PowerShell or Windows Script Host (wscript/cscript) spawned by explorer.exe that utilize hidden window styles and target suspicious filenames or external paths, often indicative of a dropper or malicious script stage.
