Detects the Silver Fox HVNC malware dropper initiating browser instances via the command line to access known malicious C2 domains or infrastructure. The rule specifically monitors for known malicious binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe, AppUpdateHelper.exe, SysMaintenance.exe) launching browsers with suspicious command-line parameters associated with this campaign.

Detects a specific pattern of PowerShell execution involving the download of files from a remote endpoint using parameters associated with Brazilian tax documents (NotaFiscal) to the Desktop directory, followed by immediate execution. The rule looks for a combination of hidden window style, Invoke-WebRequest, specific URL parameters (dl.php, NFe identifiers), and subsequent Start-Process calls, which is indicative of malware dropper activity.

Detects the execution of known offensive security tools often used for lateral movement, credential dumping, and remote code execution, such as Impacket modules and the 'Invoke-TheHash' PowerShell suite, via common command-line interpreters.

Detects suspicious PowerShell execution initiated by explorer.exe containing encoded commands, correlated with concurrent activity in the Windows RunMRU registry key or execution of rundll32.exe referencing 'WindowsUpdate.log'. This pattern is frequently used to mask malicious activity and maintain stealth during fileless execution or persistence operations.

Detects the PoisonedRefresh implant's UNIX domain socket backdoor by (1) file activity on the uniquely-named /run/bigtlog.pipe socket initiated by an Apache/httpd process, and (2) process command lines containing the implant's hardcoded authentication token. Removed the earlier generic 'bash spawned by httpd' heuristic, which fired on legitimate CGI/mod_php/admin automation that shells out from the web server and was the dominant false-positive source.

Detects the execution of rundll32.exe with a command line pointing to a WebDAV share path (DavWWWRoot). This technique is commonly used to execute remote payloads by forcing the system to access a remote resource, often as part of a malicious DLL loading chain.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using schtasks.exe or reg.exe that is configured to run at system logon (/sc onlogon) using potentially malicious or persistence-related filenames such as client32.exe or NSM789508.

Detects the execution of the Windows shutdown utility (shutdown.exe) with parameters configured to force an immediate reboot (/r /t 0 /f). This behavior is often associated with disruptive activities or attempts to clear system state by unauthorized actors.

Detects the XHOPELESS wiper routine 'KillNetworkPermanent' which severs network connectivity by resetting the TCP/IP stack using netsh, blocking all traffic via Windows Advanced Firewall commands, and disabling network adapters via devcon.exe as a final destructive action.

Detects anomalous child process execution by Chromium-based browsers (e.g., chrome.exe, msedge.exe, brave.exe). This behavior is indicative of potential exploitation of browser vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-85046, where a memory corruption vulnerability is leveraged to escape the browser sandbox and execute arbitrary commands via interpreters like cmd.exe or powershell.exe.

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.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating three distinct indicators: deletion of Volume Shadow Copies (using native Windows utilities), mass file modifications (>100 files in 15 minutes), and the creation or modification of files typically associated with ransom notes. The rule uses an inner join to ensure these events happen within a 30-minute window of each other on the same device.

Detects Python processes (python.exe, pythonw.exe, py.exe) executing with high or system integrity levels and interacting with named pipes, a technique often used for inter-process communication, persistence, or process injection.

Detects instances where the NW.js (Node-Webkit) framework binaries (nw.exe, node.exe) spawn common command-line interpreters or script-hosting utilities (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe) while executing associated application files like main.js or nw.pak. This behavior is indicative of potential exploitation of a browser-based application to gain shell access or execute arbitrary code on the host system.

This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events where a process with a name resembling an updater (AutoUpdate.exe or au.exe) accesses a specific remote configuration file from a herokuapp.com URL, followed by the creation or modification of specific application binaries (e.g., InstaTime.exe, ffmpegsumo.dll). This pattern is indicative of a supply chain compromise or an automated software update hijacking where malicious binaries are staged to replace legitimate application components.

Detects instances where the process wtass.exe (often associated with specific legacy or third-party enterprise tools) spawns cmd.exe. This pattern is potentially indicative of command-line abuse, where a legitimate application's child process is leveraged to execute shell commands.
