Detects the execution of wscript.exe or cscript.exe with a command line containing a .vbs file, occurring within a 5-minute window of the creation of a file named 'notepad++.exe' or 'readme.txt' within a sub-directory of 'C:\Users\Public\'. This behavior is indicative of a potential multi-stage execution where a script is used to drop or interact with files in public-accessible folders.

Detects instances where a Python-based machine learning framework (identifiable by command-line arguments related to model loading like pickle or PyTorch loading functions) spawns a suspicious child process, such as a shell or network utility. This behavior indicates a potential malicious machine learning model, such as a booby-trapped pickle file, executing arbitrary code upon deserialization.

This rule detects interactive or user-triggered execution of PowerShell carrying indicators of payload downloading, inline evaluation, or Base64 encoding. Because explorer.exe is the parent process, it typically signifies a payload delivered via email/web that a user opened directly such as an .lnk shortcut.

This rule detects suspicious activity where a node.exe process, often associated with a node-pty terminal emulation, launches common Windows command-line shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) from specific file paths or directories. This behavior is indicative of a Node.js-based Remote Access Trojan (RAT) or shell spawning mechanism being used to establish command and control or persistence on a Windows host.

This rule monitors for two distinct suspicious patterns: first, the interaction between Claude Desktop and the CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) library, which may indicate unauthorized plugin or extension loading; second, the execution of non-standard binaries initiated by various JetBrains IDE processes located outside of standard program directories, which could indicate process hollowing or unauthorized tool execution.

Detects a sequence of activity characteristic of lateral movement and credential theft: the deployment or execution of PsExec service followed by the use of Windows utilities (vssadmin, ntdsutil, esentutl) to perform Volume Shadow Copy-based extraction of the NTDS.dit database or SYSTEM hive on the same host.

This rule monitors for the execution or presence of files matching a specific set of known malicious MD5 hashes within the environment. It leverages DeviceFileEvents and DeviceProcessEvents logs to identify if these specific files are being accessed or executed on managed endpoints.

Detects a multi-stage attack chain involving the download, extraction, permission modification, and execution of the XMRig cryptocurrency miner on Linux systems. The rule specifically monitors for common staging patterns in /tmp and the use of known mining-related CLI arguments.

Detects a suspicious sequence of events where msiexec.exe is launched by explorer.exe, subsequently spawning a suspended chrome.exe process. This is followed by the creation of a 'PavokwiLoader.exe' file in a 'Temp\modules' directory and the establishment of persistence by setting the 'Load' value within the 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows' registry key to execute the dropped loader.

Detects the execution of pythonw.exe spawned by ComputerDefaults.exe, which is a known technique for bypassing User Account Control (UAC) to achieve elevated privileges. This rule specifically tracks instances where a Python script is initiated and subsequently triggered by the UAC-bypassing binary within a 5-minute window.

Detects a sequence of activity indicative of beacon-like behavior: initial domain reconnaissance using commands such as 'net', 'systeminfo', or 'nltest', followed by the execution of 'rundll32.exe' without command-line arguments, and subsequent LDAP (port 389) communication to a domain controller, all occurring within a short timeframe.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the task name is 'MultiUpdater' and the task definition is imported from a file with a specific naming convention and extension (mgk, tmp, or xml) in the root directory.

Detects a sequence of suspicious process executions related to the 'RemoteAgent' application, specifically monitoring for MSI-based installations, NSSM service management, and API checks across a device. The rule aggregates distinct process events per device and flags if two or more distinct indicators are identified within a 14-day window.

Detects instances where Python interpreters (python.exe or pythonw.exe) are executed from a subdirectory within ProgramData that matches a 32-hex character pattern, initiated by the 7zip archive utility (7za.exe). This pattern is indicative of a self-extracting archive or malicious installer unpacking and executing Python scripts in a stealthy, non-standard location.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using an XML definition located in the user's AppData\Local\Temp directory, which is a common staging location for malware. This event is correlated with subsequent high-frequency, short-lived execution of pythonw.exe using .pyw scripts, characteristic of automated implant persistence and re-launch mechanisms.

This rule detects a malicious execution chain starting with an MSI file being launched by explorer.exe from user-downloaded folders. The installer spawns chrome.exe, drops a specific loader file (e.g., PavokwiLoader.exe or Loader.exe) into the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\modules\ directory, and establishes persistence via the HKCU 'Load' registry value pointing to that location.

Detects the installation of a potential remote monitoring and management (RMM) agent via common tools like msiexec, nssm, or sc.exe, followed by consistent HTTPS beaconing to domains hosted on Azurewebsites.net. This pattern is indicative of unauthorized remote access tools used for command and control.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity originating from Microsoft Word (WINWORD.EXE). It monitors for two specific patterns: the creation of script files (.bat, .vbs, .cmd) with GUID-based filenames in non-temp directories, and the creation or execution of files matching known malicious hashes associated with the Hookedge malware family.

Detects a multi-stage local execution chain associated with the Mirage2FA malware. The activity begins with WinRAR extracting an HTML stager from an Outlook quarantine directory, followed by rundll32.exe invoking shell32.dll to open the stager, and concluding with a spawned Microsoft Edge process executing the local HTML file.

Detects the initialization stage of a Mirage2FA phishing attack, characterized by the execution of a locally saved HTML file in a web browser, closely followed by an outbound network connection to the ipify.org API for victim IP geolocation and fingerprinting before the malicious sign-in page is rendered.
