Detects the execution of batch files from temporary directories that employ command obfuscation techniques such as environment variable substring expansion, or which execute with a hidden window in conjunction with chained system utilities commonly associated with malicious activities (e.g., curl, tar, schtasks). This behavior is often indicative of staged payload delivery and execution.

Detects the execution of the Pester framework's Build.bat script, which is being abused as a LOLBAS (Living Off the Land Binary and Script) technique. This activity is typically characterized by being launched from an LNK file, often indicating a malicious dropper or secondary stage payload delivery.

Detects the mounting of Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) files using system processes such as explorer.exe or vds.exe. This activity is a known technique for bypassing Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW) security protections, as files within the mounted container may not inherit the MOTW attribute. This behavior was observed in Operation QUICSILVER, where actors used VHD files disguised with benign extensions to deliver malicious LNK payloads to targets.

This rule detects the execution of a suspicious, specifically named executable (ogftogcyiblzjccmcbnw.exe) originating from a temporary folder, or the creation/access of a related configuration file (kojuyn.ini) within the same temp directory. This pattern is consistent with the delivery and execution of malicious tools like AsyncRAT or similar threats that often use obfuscated filenames and localized configuration files within temporary user paths.

Detects the modification of network interface IP addresses using netsh or PowerShell cmdlets. This activity can be associated with unauthorized network configuration changes, static IP assignment for persistence, or evasion techniques.

This rule performs a hunting activity across multiple telemetry sources (Network, Email, Endpoint) to detect known indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with Anthropic threat intelligence reporting (September 2026). It looks for specific malware file names, command-line patterns, service installations, phishing email addresses, and C2 communication URLs.

This rule detects potential exploitation attempts targeting VLC media player, specifically focusing on the CVE-2026-56711 integer overflow vulnerability. The rule identifies instances where VLC processes a PNG file originating from untrusted locations (such as Downloads, Temp, or removable media) shortly after that file was created or modified on the host.

Detects instances where the Acronis backup agent or associated plugin processes spawn a shell (e.g., sh, bash, zsh, perl) under the root user context. This behavior is highly irregular and may indicate a compromised backup utility, the use of backup agent processes to execute arbitrary commands, or unauthorized privilege escalation.

006
This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving Linux backup software (Acronis) or attempts to modify file permissions (chmod setuid) to elevate privileges. It triggers when backup-related processes are executed by root or when commands indicative of privilege escalation or tampering occur in conjunction with backup-related paths or binaries.

Detects the execution of Microsoft Teams client processes on endpoints associated with user accounts that have already been flagged as compromised via authentication anomalies. This rule acts as a pivot and investigation tool for tracking potentially malicious activity within Teams on impacted hosts.

006
Detects a suspicious scenario where a non-root process associated with Acronis backup plugins (typically used on cPanel, WHM, or Plesk servers) spawns a child process that executes with root privileges. This behavior is indicative of potential privilege escalation exploiting CVE-2026-87886.

006
This rule detects potentially malicious child processes spawned by processes associated with Microsoft Semantic Kernel agents. These agents may be exploited to execute administrative tools, living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins), or networking utilities commonly used in post-exploitation activities, such as credential dumping, discovery, or command execution.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task containing the string 'Google Chrome Update' in the command line, where the task is not the legitimate 'GoogleUpdateTaskMachine' task. The rule specifically targets tasks that execute PowerShell or arbitrary executables, which is a common persistence technique used by adversaries to mask malicious tasks as legitimate software updates.

004
Detects the execution of PowerShell commands initiated from a .lnk file that query system information related to virtualization technologies (e.g., VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V) or hardware details (e.g., BIOS, VideoController). This pattern is often used for environmental awareness or anti-sandbox/anti-analysis techniques by malware.

004
Detects the execution of PowerShell with common obfuscation or stealth-related flags (e.g., -enc, -nop, -w hidden) when initiated by CMD or from a LNK file, particularly when originating from Windows Explorer. This is a common pattern for malicious file execution and dropper activity.

Detects the creation of a Volume Shadow Copy followed by an attempt to access or copy the Active Directory database file (ntds.dit) from the shadow copy. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to perform offline credential dumping.

Detects the removal of the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute from a file followed by the execution of the macOS 'security' utility to dump or retrieve passwords from the Keychain within a 5-minute window. This sequence is indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass Gatekeeper-related restrictions on a potentially malicious tool, followed by unauthorized access to sensitive credentials stored in the Keychain.

Detects instances where PowerShell.exe acts as a parent process or initiator for potentially suspicious process injections into common host processes including csc.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, or SearchIndexer.exe. This activity is often associated with code execution or persistence mechanisms where PowerShell injects malicious logic into other processes.

Detects the execution of the MeshCentral remote management agent (meshagent.exe) or processes masquerading as the agent using the known alias 'mvtcs.exe'. This rule identifies the start of these processes to detect unauthorized or potentially malicious remote management activity.

Detects long PowerShell command lines that perform in-memory assembly loading, often utilizing compression (GzipStream), encryption (Aes), or base64 decoding (FromBase64String). This combination is highly indicative of malicious payloads attempting to load reflective DLLs or executables directly into memory to evade file-based detection.
