Detects behavior where the ERAAgent process writes a file to disk and executes that same file shortly after (within 5 minutes). This pattern is consistent with staged payload delivery, decompression, or assembly often observed in malicious activity, specifically referencing SLEEPWALKER malware patterns.

This rule monitors process command lines for identifiers related to virtual machine communication interfaces such as 'VMCI', 'AF_VSOCK', 'svm_cid', or 'vm:2'. It specifically targets both the ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) Agent and any other processes utilizing these communication mechanisms, which can be indicators of inter-process communication across virtual machine boundaries or potential hypervisor-related activity.

Detects instances where the SQL Server process (sqlservr.exe) initiates a child process that is a known command-line tool, script interpreter, or utility often used in living-off-the-land attacks, or when a child process is spawned from suspicious directory paths such as AppData, Temp, or Windows\Temp.

This rule monitors for email events where the email is flagged for suspicious properties (SPF/DKIM/DMARC failure, threat categorization) and includes potentially malicious attachments or URLs. It then correlates these suspicious emails with subsequent process execution events on the recipient's endpoint within a 30-minute window, identifying a potential successful execution of a phishing payload.

This rule monitors for web server exploit attempts (indicated by patterns like JNDI lookups or SQL injection sequences in URI/cookie data) that correlate with a surge in server-side errors (400+ status codes) and subsequent anomalous process creation or outbound network connections from the web server process.

Detects potential exploitation of a CrowdStrike Falcon remediation process vulnerability ('FalconFlank'). The rule identifies either direct execution of the PoC binary or the suspicious combination of a CrowdStrike remediation process loading an unsigned or untrusted DLL from a user-writable path followed by the same process spawning a command shell in the SYSTEM context within 15 minutes.

Detects the loading of registry hives using the 'reg load' command. This technique is often associated with adversary attempts to manipulate the Windows registry, access sensitive data, or establish persistence, particularly when followed by actions executed in the SYSTEM context from the same process lineage.

102
This rule detects unauthorized attempts to modify CrowdStrike Falcon sensor exclusion registry keys or commands involving DLL loading techniques that may indicate evasion preparation, specifically referencing potential FalconFlank-related activities. It filters out legitimate management activity from known service accounts, SCCM, and the CrowdStrike Falcon agent itself.

Detects when the Postgres service process or account attempts to modify system-level persistence mechanisms, such as scheduled tasks (cron/schtasks) or system services (systemd/startup folders), which are typical behaviors for an adversary using database service context to maintain persistence.

This rule detects potential exploitation or unauthorized interaction with an HAProxy service. It correlates process execution on Linux systems involving the HAProxy PID file with subsequent network traffic containing the suspicious string 'writeservice_info' within a one-hour window.

Detects the specific execution pattern associated with CurlRAT, where common Linux daemons (crond, atd, agetty, polkitd) perform an outbound network connection and subsequently spawn an interactive shell (sh, bash, dash) as the root user within a 5-minute window.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the initiating process is a script interpreter such as 'mshta.exe' or 'powershell.exe'. This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious payloads or the establishment of persistence.

Detects attempts to modify, disable, or exclude paths and processes from Microsoft Defender Antivirus using legitimate administrative utilities such as PowerShell, cmd, sc, and netsh. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to evade security monitoring.

This rule detects potentially malicious command-line activity involving powershell.exe or mshta.exe that is initiated by a web browser process (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, or iexplore.exe). It monitors for indicators such as encoded commands, usage of Invoke-Expression, download cradles, hidden window flags, and specific known IOCs, correlating these events with recent browser activity to identify potential drive-by download or browser-based exploitation attempts.

Detects instances where common web server processes (e.g., PHP, Apache, Nginx) spawn child processes associated with command-line utilities (e.g., curl, bash, python). The rule specifically monitors for command-line arguments referencing log files or traces, which is indicative of potential exploitation attempts or post-exploitation activities such as log poisoning or remote code execution.

This rule detects the use of the LockAppHost process to execute suspicious commands associated with tampering with security configurations, including Windows Defender settings, service management (sc.exe), and task scheduling. Adversaries may abuse this process to bypass security controls, disable real-time monitoring, or maintain persistence.

This rule detects instances where LockAppHost.exe or a variation of it (likely used as a proxy) initiates processes or command-line arguments that interact with Windows services, scheduled tasks, or Windows Defender configurations. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to disable security features, suppress Windows updates, or manipulate system services to evade detection.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.
