Detects repeated attempts to delete Volume Shadow Copies using WMIC. This is a common technique used by ransomware and other malware to prevent system recovery and inhibit forensic investigations. The rule filters out known backup agents and service accounts and identifies patterns where multiple distinct deletions occur within a 5-minute window.

Detects the creation or modification of specific dropper/loader files and service worker registration within WordPress directory structures (wp-content/plugins, wp-content/themes, wp-content/uploads). These files are often associated with the injection of malicious scripts (e.g., on-chain resolvers) to facilitate drive-by compromises by site visitors.

The following analytic detects the use of macOS AppleScript utilities to execute shell commands or compile AppleScript containing shell-command logic.
The analytic identifies `osascript` invocations using AppleScript's `do shell script` command, which executes shell commands on the host.
It also identifies `osacompile` invocations referencing `do shell script`. `osacompile` compiles AppleScript into a compiled script but does not execute it directly.
Adversaries may abuse these utilities to execute shell commands, stage AppleScript payloads, or prepare scripts for later execution. Matches involving `osacompile` should be interpreted as script compilation or staging rather than confirmed shell-command execution.

Detects instances where PowerShell is used to download an executable named 'svchost.exe' from an external IP address (103.86.86.244). The rule monitors for network connections to this IP, file creation events matching specific download patterns in fonts directories, and direct command-line arguments involving the suspicious IP and file path, indicating potential malware dropper activity.

Detects the execution of 'famitrf2.exe' when it is launched as a child process of 'rserver3.exe' from the specific path 'C:\intel\rserver\rserver3.exe'. This pattern is highly indicative of Remote Administrator (RAdmin) software activity, which can be leveraged for legitimate remote management or malicious remote access.

This rule detects potentially malicious PowerShell execution patterns involving hidden windows, administrative elevation via 'Start-Process -Verb RunAs', and the targeting or execution of rsetup64.exe within specific system paths. It also flags execution chains where 'net session' commands, often used for discovery or local privilege verification, are piped to null and followed by or initiate the same target executables, suggesting lateral movement or persistence attempts.

Detects a host performing high-volume outbound network scanning (connecting to 10 or more distinct public IP addresses within 15 minutes) followed by the execution of an executable file created in common suspicious directories (AppData, Temp, Downloads, or Users/Public) within a short window (10 minutes after the scan). This pattern is indicative of a compromised host scanning for lateral movement opportunities or propagation targets, followed by the deployment of malicious tooling.

Detects the execution of command-line shells (cmd, powershell, pwsh) running under the SYSTEM context that were initiated by or associated with a process containing 'ShieldBreak' in its filename. This behavior is indicative of a suspicious or potentially malicious process (e.g., a security bypass tool) attempting to spawn elevated shells.

This rule detects potentially unauthorized access or large-scale extraction of sensitive RADIUS server configuration and credential databases. It monitors for common database management tools and commands used in conjunction with RADIUS-specific paths, particularly when executed by unexpected processes, during off-hours, or in a manner indicative of bulk data export.

Detects the creation, modification, or execution of a hidden file named '.rc' located in '/usr/local/bin/'. This behavior is suspicious as it may indicate an attempt to establish persistence or run malicious scripts via hidden configuration files, especially when performed by non-standard installers.

Detects web server processes (e.g., w3wp.exe, nginx.exe, tomcat.exe) spawning command-line interpreters or utilities that could indicate remote code execution, web shell activity, or post-exploitation discovery/download attempts.

This rule detects the use of common command-line utilities (grep, find, bash, sh, awk) to search for sensitive files, such as SSH keys, configuration files containing credentials, or password-related patterns. The rule includes exclusions for common administrative, security, and backup tools that might legitimately perform such scans.

Detects execution and file activity associated with the XRed backdoor, which masquerades as 'Synaptics.exe' by running from the non-standard 'C:\ProgramData\Synaptics\' directory instead of authorized system paths.

Detects SSH persistence planted during the Red Heron campaign: authorized_keys file writes under a .ssh folder, correlated with process command lines referencing authorized_keys and the operator's observed key comment naming pattern (backdoor / root-shell).

Detects execution of the JITTERLY Linux backdoor masquerading as 'configd' (with its -nodel fallback flag) and/or beaconing to its hardcoded C2 domain (s2.981666.xyz:8082), matching Red Heron's observed tradecraft.

Detects instances where LiteLLM, or related Python application processes (uvicorn, python), spawn a shell or command-line utility (bash, sh, id) under the root user account. This behavior is indicative of potential container breakout, application exploitation, or privilege escalation attempts originating from a web-accessible service.
