This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task involving 'MicrosoftIME' or the placement of an 'MicrosoftIME.exe' file within the 'Microsoft\IME' directory. It correlates these activities to identify potential persistence mechanisms where an adversary may be attempting to hijack or masquerade as a legitimate Microsoft Input Method Editor process.

Detects the CLEANGULP backdoor (masquerading as MicrosoftIME.exe) spawning administrative or discovery-related child processes (such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or wmic.exe) that are temporally associated with recent network activity, suggesting command execution tasks received from a C2 server.

This rule detects command line patterns associated with common Impacket tools (wmiexec, psexec, smbexec) executed via Windows processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or via network connections to ports 445 and 135 initiated by Python processes. These tools are frequently used by adversaries for lateral movement, remote service execution, and command execution on compromised systems.

Detects the execution of the Rubeus.exe utility with command-line arguments indicative of Kerberos-related credential harvesting and abuse, such as Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, and Pass-the-Ticket attacks.

007
Detects suspicious execution of ServiceModelReg.exe, either by referencing a specific known malicious file path ('purosangue.tx') or when launched by an unexpected parent process. This activity is indicative of potential COM elevation moniker abuse or process hollowing techniques often used in post-exploitation scenarios.

This rule detects the execution of 'vsdbg.exe', the Visual Studio Remote Debugger, from non-standard directories (e.g., Downloads, AppData, Temp, ProgramData) or in conjunction with the creation of 'vsdbg.dll' files. Adversaries may utilize this debugger for remote code execution or to bypass security controls by masquerading as a legitimate development tool.

001
This rule detects the potential use of parent process spoofing (PPID spoofing) where a PowerShell process is spawned with 'explorer.exe' as its parent. This technique, often executed via the 'PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PARENT_PROCESS' attribute in a 'CreateProcessW' call, is used by adversaries to mask the true origin of the PowerShell process and evade behavioral detection.

Detects the ClickFix social-engineering pattern where a user is tricked into pasting and executing a command, typically via the Windows Run dialog (explorer.exe), that triggers the command shell (cmd.exe or powershell.exe) to utilize finger.exe or curl.exe for downloading and staging malicious payloads like CastleRAT.

Detects the use of PowerShell commands that reflectively load assemblies into memory, often associated with obfuscated or encoded payloads typically used in fileless malware execution and post-exploitation activity.

Detects the execution of PowerShell commands intended to gather system information, specifically targeting the discovery of security software (anti-virus/EDR) and virtualization/sandbox artifacts. This behavior is indicative of an attacker performing environment reconnaissance to identify defensive controls or to determine if the payload is executing within an analysis environment.

Detects the execution of an LNK file that initiates a command chain resulting in an encoded PowerShell script. This behavior is indicative of malicious shortcut files often used in initial access to trigger multi-stage payloads, consistent with techniques observed in Kimsuky-linked infection chains.

Detects the execution of a .lnk file that directly triggers a PowerShell process. This behavior is frequently associated with malicious shortcut files used in initial access and execution, such as those observed in Kimsuky (APT-C-55) infection chains where disguised installers drop LNK files that execute PowerShell scripts for anti-analysis and subsequent payload deployment.

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.

Detects execution of PowerShell spawned by suspicious processes (e.g., installers or Windows Explorer) involving LNK file patterns or suspicious command-line obfuscation techniques commonly associated with Kimsuky (APT-C-55) activity.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with encoded commands, specifically when initiated by a 'conhost.exe' process running with the '--headless' flag. The rule further inspects the decoded command to identify patterns indicative of .NET reflection-based code execution, often used in malicious activity such as reflective assembly loading.

Detects the use of common command-line utilities to search for sensitive files, including credential files (.env, credentials.json, database.yml), wallet files (wallet.dat), and mnemonic/seed phrases. This activity is often associated with reconnaissance for credentials or sensitive data on compromised Linux systems.

This rule detects the execution of Mimikatz or the use of its specific command-line arguments, which are strongly indicative of credential dumping activities, often used for post-exploitation lateral movement or privilege escalation.

This rule detects a multi-stage attack pattern originating from a web-based service. It identifies a web application process (like w3wp.exe, httpd.exe, or java.exe) spawning suspicious child processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, etc.), followed by the creation of new files and external network connections. This chain of behavior is highly indicative of web shell exploitation, post-exploitation command execution, and data exfiltration or C2 communication.

Detects the ScreenConnect remote access binary spawning suspicious child processes often associated with lateral movement, system reconnaissance, or anti-forensics activity (such as deleting shadow copies, modifying boot configuration, or using administrative tools for remote command execution). This behavior is highly indicative of an adversary abusing legitimate RMM software to execute post-exploitation commands.

Detects the execution of 'SimpleService.exe' when the binary is located within a restricted subdirectory associated with JWrapper-Remote Access. This pattern may indicate the execution of unauthorized or restricted remote access tools.
