This rule detects potential exploitation attempts targeting vulnerabilities within the libheif image processing library. It monitors for image processing binaries (e.g., convert, magick) executing with command-line arguments related to HEIF/HEIC files, followed by multiple application crash events (SIGSEGV, coredumps) associated with libheif on the same device within a short time window.

Detects the spawning of command-line interfaces such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or pwsh.exe as child processes of the SharePoint web application worker process (w3wp.exe). This behavior is highly irregular for a web server process and is indicative of potential exploitation, such as remote code execution (RCE) via web application vulnerabilities.

Detects the execution of a .vbs script file that contains '.pdf' in its filename, followed within 5 minutes by the execution of a WMI query via wscript.exe. This behavior is indicative of a malicious VBScript dropper attempting to perform system discovery using WMI.

This rule detects the execution of script files (such as .vbs, .vbe, .js, .jse) via wscript.exe when the file name uses a double-extension technique (e.g., .pdf.vbs) to masquerade as a benign PDF document. These files are typically found in temporary or user-download directories, indicating potential malicious activity initiated by downloaded attachments.

Detects potential malicious VBScript behavior where the script queries system language settings via WMI and subsequently launches a decoy message box commonly associated with initial-stage malware loaders or droppers to deceive users before initiating a payload download.

This rule detects potential staging activity for ClickFix or Vidar malware campaigns. It identifies the creation of files or folders in directories mimicking Windows Diagnostics infrastructure (WDI) or known payload paths, correlated with the execution of suspicious PowerShell commands or archive-related utilities within a 30-minute window on the same device.

This rule detects malicious activity related to the exploitation of MpDlpService.exe. It looks for the execution or presence of known malicious file hashes associated with this threat, including a P-stage script, payload files, and a malicious mpclient.dll. Additionally, it identifies instances where the legitimate MpDlpService.exe binary is executed from a non-standard, suspicious directory, which is a common indicator of side-loading or persistence techniques.

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.

002
Detects a suspicious multi-stage PowerShell execution pattern where an initial process, such as explorer.exe or common loaders, invokes PowerShell with obfuscated or download-related flags (e.g., -enc, IEX, DownloadString), followed immediately by a child PowerShell process performing further download or network operations within a short time window.

Detects the launch of client32.exe (a core component of NetSupport Manager) as a child process of PowerShell, indicating potential malicious deployment of the software as a RAT rather than legitimate administrative activity.

Detects a suspicious sequence where a Python process is spawned by a 'marimo' notebook process, followed immediately by an outbound SSH connection attempt from the same device. This pattern is indicative of automated or scripted lateral movement where a notebook environment is abused as a jump-point for command execution on remote systems.

Detects instances where PowerShell, cmd, or mshta are launched as child processes of browser applications or Windows Explorer, often associated with 'ClickFix' or other social engineering attacks where a user is tricked into pasting malicious commands into the Windows 'Run' dialog. The rule identifies suspicious command-line arguments typical of downloader cradles or obfuscated scripts.

101
This rule detects scenarios where common web browsers (e.g., chrome.exe, msedge.exe) spawn known living-off-the-land (LotL) binaries (e.g., powershell.exe, wscript.exe, mshta.exe) with command-line arguments indicative of malicious activity, such as base64-encoded strings, hidden window flags, or remote script invocation (IEX/Invoke-Expression). This pattern is frequently used in drive-by download or phishing delivery chains where an initial payload is triggered directly from a browser context.

Detects instances where mshta.exe is launched from a web browser or explorer.exe with suspicious command-line arguments, such as remote URLs, script protocols, or potentially obfuscated/base64-encoded strings, often indicative of 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks.

Detects the creation of a remote service using 'sc.exe' where the executable was recently written to an administrative share (ADMIN$ or C$). This behavior often indicates lateral movement by threat actors deploying malicious binaries as services on remote systems.

Detects the mass termination of security, backup, database, and virtualization services and processes. The rule monitors for the use of 'taskkill', 'sc', and 'net stop' commands, targeting a list of processes and services often associated with pre-encryption cleanup activities by ransomware actors to neutralize security tools and data access controls.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe initiated by command shells where the task command points to files residing in non-standard or user-writable directories such as \Users\Public\, \PerfLogs\, or \ProgramData\. This pattern is frequently utilized by malware loaders like SocGholish, GootLoader, and various ransomware strains to achieve persistence following initial compromise.

Detects unauthorized usage of Android Debug Bridge (ADB) commands to modify power management settings (Doze whitelist, app standby buckets) and grant secure settings permissions. These commands are typically used by persistent agents to prevent the operating system from terminating the process during battery optimization or low-resource states.

Detects execution of Android shell commands associated with power management and Doze mode exemptions (e.g., dumpsys deviceidle whitelist, pm grant) initiated by or involving a file named liblocal-service.so, which is characteristic of the Go Agent binary.
