Detects shadow copy destruction and recovery feature tampering used
by Akira and other ransomware families to prevent victims from restoring data.
Covers vssadmin / wmic shadowcopy deletion, wbadmin catalog deletion and
bcdedit recovery-disabling commands executed from the command line.
by Akira and other ransomware families to prevent victims from restoring data.
Covers vssadmin / wmic shadowcopy deletion, wbadmin catalog deletion and
bcdedit recovery-disabling commands executed from the command line.
Detects a VS Code-family editor or extension host process running 'git config --global user.email' and, within one minute from the same parent process, a curl public-IP lookup (ifconfig.me / api.ipify.org), the host-profiling step of the trojanized anthropic.claude-code loader.
Detects the execution of NetSupport Manager client binaries (client32.exe or pcictlui.exe) from user-writable directories such as AppData, ProgramData, or Public folders, optionally spawned by script loaders or command interpreters.
Detects service-initiated processes using cryptocurrency mining algorithms, pool configurations, or miner-specific execution parameters.
Detects script execution (such as wscript, cscript, mshta) spawned from a shell parent process (like explorer.exe or cmd.exe) referencing browser cache files (matching f_* in browser profile directories) or copying scripts to the local Temp directory as t.vbs.
Detects the execution of Wireshark or tshark with command-line arguments indicating TLS key logging or packet capture file handling, followed shortly by a crash handler process (WerFault.exe or WerFaultSecure.exe) for the same process.
Detects execution of Node.js and NPM related commands involving potential supply chain indicators, script execution, or download utilities (such as curl, wget, powershell, or eval) within command lines.
Detects AI coding assistants and agents (such as Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) spawning command-line interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, Node, Bun, Deno) with potential API keys, tokens, or credentials exposed in the process command line.
Detects when a web browser (such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Brave, or Opera) spawns common command interpreters, scripting engines, or Living off the Land Binaries (LOLBins) like cmd, powershell, mshta, rundll32, or certutil. This behavior is often indicative of a drive-by compromise or browser exploitation attempt.
Detects an AhsayCBS / Tomcat / Java web service process spawning a
command or script interpreter. After exploiting AhsayCBS, attackers executed
shell commands through the dropped webshell to run reconnaissance and download
the XMRig payload. A backup web service should never directly spawn cmd.exe,
powershell.exe, or a Unix shell - this indicates webshell command execution.

Detects PowerShell processes spawned via shortcut files (lnk) using suspicious command-line parameters that subsequently create both a text file and a Discord-named executable on the same device within a 10-minute window.
Detects shell or interpreter processes spawned as children of the
PAN-OS management web service. Exploitation of CVE-2026-0322 (authenticated RCE,
CWE-94) in the management interface results in the web server process forking
unexpected /bin/sh, curl, wget or scripting interpreter children to run
post-exploitation commands on the management plane.

The following analytic identifies the execution of commonly used NirSoft utilities on Windows systems.
It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution details such as process name, parent process, and command-line arguments.
This activity is significant for a SOC because NirSoft utilities, while legitimate, can be used by adversaries for malicious purposes like credential theft or system reconnaissance.
If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further system compromise.
Note that this search does not use a where clause to filter out known benign paths, as NirSoft utilities can be executed from various locations. This might hinder performance in environments with high data volumes.
Apply additional filtering as necessary to enhance this.

This detection flags a parent and child process pair on internet-facing Windows servers, where the parent is a web server process and the child is the process it launched. The web server processes covered are w3wp, httpd, nginx and Tomcat, including versioned Tomcat service executables such as tomcat9.exe and Tomcat running under java.exe, which is identified by the Catalina bootstrap class in its command line. A server is treated as internet-facing based on the most recent status recorded for it.
Instead of matching known web shell names, the query builds a baseline from the previous 30 days of process activity on each device and alerts when a pair appears in the latest window that has never been seen on that device before, so it can catch web shell activity it has never seen before. Because the baseline is held per device, a pair that is normal on one server does not hide the same pair appearing on another.
The rule runs every 24 hours, as this is the only Defender custom detection frequency with a 30-day lookback, and the alert window covers the last 25 hours so that a slightly delayed run does not leave a gap.
The baseline and alert windows are separated by ingestion time rather than event time, so events that arrive late are still evaluated.

Detects a specific sequence of behavior associated with Gryxa data collection and exfiltration. A single process queries system state or logs (scheduled tasks, WMI, event logs), creates an archive file (.zip, .7z, .rar), and establishes an outbound public network connection shortly thereafter.
Detects potential defense evasion activity where Windows Defender configurations are modified or disabled, followed closely within 20 minutes by a silent, quiet, or unattended software uninstallation initiated by a script interpreter or command processor on the same device.
Detects virtualization management monitor (VMM) processes such as QEMU or Firecracker directly spawning an interactive shell, script interpreter, or network utility as the root user. This behavior is highly anomalous and may indicate a guest-to-host escape leading to remote code execution on the host.
Detects web server processes (such as nginx, apache2, httpd, uwsgi, gunicorn, php-fpm) spawning command-line utilities typically used for system and user discovery (such as id, whoami, groups, hostname, uname, netstat, ps, etc.), which often indicates web application exploitation and remote code execution.
Detects the execution of tools and commands commonly used to enumerate Group Policy Objects (GPOs) within an environment, such as gpresult.exe with specific flags, PowerShell scripts querying GPO modules, or ldifde.exe checking group policy containers.
Detects potential data exfiltration activity where a device first exhibits usage of a remote monitoring and management (RMM) tool, followed by the execution of known data transfer or exfiltration utilities such as WinSCP or Rclone.
Detects potential Linux privilege escalation and persistence activities by monitoring for the creation of persistence scripts in post_boot.d, modifications to the sudoers.template file appending NOPASSWD, or system configuration rebuilds shortly after sudoers template changes.
