Detects the execution of PowerShell with obfuscation-related flags (-NoProfile, -WindowStyle Hidden, -EncodedCommand) initiated by common scripting interpreters (wscript.exe, mshta.exe, cscript.exe). This pattern is often indicative of malicious scripts, such as HTA or VBScript files, attempting to execute encoded PowerShell commands in a high-privilege context.

Detects attempts to disable PowerShell Script Block Logging via registry modification or by using the Set-ItemProperty command. Disabling this security feature prevents visibility into the actual contents of executed PowerShell scripts, which is a common tactic used by adversaries to evade detection.

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.

004
Detects anomalous PowerShell script execution originating from GitLab CI runners where the environment variables suggest unauthorized command execution, specifically identifying usage of 'IEX' to execute commands passed via the 'CMD' environment variable, often used in GitRunner C2 techniques.

Detects the use of PowerShell to download a file named Document.pdf using Invoke-WebRequest, saving it to disk, and immediately executing it using Start-Process. This behavior is indicative of a dropper or secondary stage payload execution pattern.

This rule detects potential screen capture activity performed by either a suspicious executable (SearchTrustedRuntimeSvc.exe) that mimics a screen capture tool or a PowerShell script invoked by Node.js using .NET drawing libraries. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized information gathering, common in remote access trojans (RATs).

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell execution initiated by a Node.js process (node.exe). It monitors for command lines containing common bypass flags (-NoProfile, -NonInteractive, -ExecutionPolicy Bypass) and a specific string pattern 'wra-ps-', which is often associated with malicious scripts or remote access trojans (RATs) being executed via a Node.js application.

Detects the use of PowerShell to load .NET assemblies into memory using System.Reflection.Assembly::Load combined with indicators often associated with fileless payload execution, such as GZip decompression, AES decryption, or method invocation (EntryPoint.Invoke, GetType).

This rule detects attempts to disable or tamper with Microsoft Defender security features by monitoring for unauthorized modifications to specific registry keys (DisableAntiSpyware, DisableRealtimeMonitoring, or the WinDefend service start type) in conjunction with related process execution activity (e.g., PowerShell, cmd, reg, or MpCmdRun) that includes keywords associated with defender configuration changes.

Detects the addition of a 'DailyFitnessTracker' entry to the HKCU Windows Registry Run key, which is a technique used by Golang-based RATs to establish persistence. The rule monitors both 'reg.exe' command-line operations and PowerShell 'New-ItemProperty' cmdlets targeting this specific registry path.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender preferences by adding exclusion paths, processes, or extensions shortly after the creation of Registry Run keys. This sequence is characteristic of post-exploitation activity where an adversary establishes persistence and subsequently attempts to neutralize security software monitoring of their malicious payloads to avoid detection during future execution.

003
Detects execution of PowerShell commands that utilize hidden window styles and encoded payloads, specifically when the command line or image path references 'WindowsUpdate.log'. This pattern is often used by adversaries to hide malicious scripts and potentially interact with logs in an attempt to masquerade or tamper with Windows Update processes.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line arguments (hidden window, no profile, or encoded commands) spawned directly from a web browser process (e.g., Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Explorer). This behavior is characteristic of ClickFix-style social engineering attacks where a user is tricked into copying and executing malicious PowerShell commands via the Win+R Run dialog or terminal.
