Detects execution of PowerShell commands containing suspicious arguments (e.g., encoded commands, download cradles) initiated by scheduled task binaries (svchost.exe, taskeng.exe, schtasks.exe) or involving specific suspicious strings associated with identified threat activity.
Detects a suspicious multi-step process injection sequence originating from an obfuscated PowerShell process. The rule identifies PowerShell executing with common obfuscation flags (e.g., -enc, -nop, IEX) and performing multiple API calls (such as NtAllocateVirtualMemoryRemote, NtSetContextThreadRemote, CreateRemoteThread, or OpenProcess) targeting specific executables like csc.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, or SearchIndexer.exe.
Detects a suspicious PowerShell process lineage spawned by explorer.exe that exhibits characteristics of a 'ClickFix' social engineering lure (using obfuscated command lines) and proceeds to inject code into legitimate Windows or browser processes such as csc.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, or SearchIndexer.exe. This activity is often associated with malware attempting to evade debugging.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with common obfuscation flags (-W Hidden, -nop, -nol) that attempt to load and execute a script directly from the user's local Temp directory. The detection specifically monitors for processes launched by command interpreters like cmd.exe or batch files, which is a common indicator of a malware dropper or stager.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with common obfuscation flags (-W Hidden, -nop, -nol) that attempt to load and execute a script directly from the user's local Temp directory. The detection specifically monitors for processes launched by command interpreters like cmd.exe or batch files, which is a common indicator of a malware dropper or stager.
Detects the use of PowerShell's 'WriteAllBytes' method to write a file to the user's Local AppData Temp directory, immediately followed by the creation of a known or suspicious executable file in that same location. This pattern is commonly indicative of a stage in a fileless-style malware attack or automated payload delivery.
Detects the execution of PowerShell scripts located in the user's temporary folder. The detection logic looks for common obfuscation flags such as WindowStyle Hidden, NoProfile, and NoLogo, combined with the -File argument, which are frequently used by droppers and malicious payloads to execute scripts in the background while evading immediate user observation.
This rule detects PowerShell commands that utilize specific character array joining techniques (e.g., [char]nnnn -join '') often used to obfuscate malicious strings or bypass keyword-based security filters. This is a common tactic for evading detection when downloading or executing payloads.
This rule detects suspicious activity involving the creation of scheduled tasks for persistence using command-line arguments indicative of tool execution (e.g., chisel, powershell) or the direct execution of hidden PowerShell scripts intended to bypass execution policy.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with commands intended to modify or interact with Windows Registry Run keys, a common technique for establishing persistence.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with commands intended to modify or interact with Windows Registry Run keys, a common technique for establishing persistence.
Detects potentially malicious script execution patterns, specifically targeting Windows Script Host (wscript.exe) invoking .vbs or .wsf files, and PowerShell execution involving suspicious command line arguments such as encoding (-enc), external URL downloading, or attempts to execute or archive files (Expand-Archive, WebClient DownloadFile).
Detects the execution of known Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) agent installers or binaries via PowerShell. This activity may indicate an attempt to establish unauthorized remote access to a system, a common technique used by threat actors to maintain persistence or conduct post-compromise activities.
Detects instances where Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) launches common script interpreters like PowerShell or mshta, often indicative of a 'ClickFix' social engineering attack where a user is coerced into pasting malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog.
Detects the execution of base64 encoded PowerShell commands used by CRPx0 to stage a DLL payload, specifically saving it as 'WindowsUpdate.log' followed by the execution of that payload using rundll32.exe.
Detects the use of PowerShell, pwsh, or cmd to execute the 'Add-MpPreference' command with the '-ExclusionPath' parameter, specifically targeting common directories like Telegram Desktop or specific system directories. This activity suggests an attempt to bypass security scanning by excluding known malicious locations or folders from Microsoft Defender's real-time monitoring.
Detects PowerShell or PowerShell ISE spawned directly from Windows Explorer (explorer.exe, covering both Start-menu launches and the Run dialog abused by ClickFix) whose command line carries a genuine obfuscation/evasion signal - true -EncodedCommand/-e usage, a hidden/minimized window flag, or a remote download cradle (IEX, Invoke-WebRequest, DownloadString, certutil, mshta, etc.) - while excluding invocations that point at an on-disk script file under a standard install path, since ClickFix payloads are inline one-liners rather than references to a local .ps1. Bare -NoProfile/-NoLogo flags no longer trigger alone, since they are common in legitimate automation.
This rule detects PowerShell commands that enumerate system, security, or virtualization-related artifacts. It specifically looks for the usage of WMI and PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Get-Process, Get-WmiObject) to query for known analysis tools, debuggers, or virtualization software strings, which is a common behavior of malware attempting to identify and evade sandbox or analyst environments.
