Detects instances where rundll32.exe is executed by a process named 'eld0.exe' residing in user-writable or temporary directories (e.g., Users, ProgramData, Temp, AppData). This behavior is characteristic of execution flow hijacking or malicious payload loading from suspicious file paths.

The following analytic detects the execution of `arp.exe` with the `-a` flag, which is used to list network connections on a compromised system. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names, command-line executions, and related telemetry. Monitoring this activity is significant because both Red Teams and adversaries use `arp.exe` for situational awareness and Active Directory discovery. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to map the network, identify active devices, and plan further lateral movement or attacks.

Detects command-line execution patterns indicative of OpnKey ransomware host fingerprinting. The ransomware gathers system metadata, including system IDs, PC hostnames, domain information, Windows versions, and processor names, likely to profile the environment prior to encryption or exfiltration.

Detects the presence of OpnKey ransomware-specific configuration strings related to size-tiered file encryption settings in process command lines. These indicators suggest the execution of a binary with hardcoded logic to categorize files for encryption based on their size.

Detects the execution of known Windows update-related binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe) from non-standard, suspicious locations within AppData directories. This behavior is indicative of masquerading, where an adversary attempts to blend in by using a legitimate process name from an unexpected path.

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell execution that attempts to download files from the internet using the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet. It specifically looks for PowerShell processes launched with hidden and execution policy bypass flags, coupled with specific hardcoded malicious URL patterns associated with a known campaign (NotaFiscal/nfe_valid_access_key_2026_secure).

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 the creation of a shortcut file (.lnk) in the Windows Startup directory by the 'UpdateAssistant.exe' process. The rule specifically looks for evidence of a masquerading attempt where the shortcut appears to be an application update helper but potentially references or exhibits characteristics of being linked to a notepad execution, suggesting persistence via shortcut file manipulation.

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 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.

The following analytic detects execution of the socat utility with a remote TCP or OpenSSL connection and local terminal echo disabled.
This configuration may be used for interactive terminal sessions, password handling, automation, or network debugging.
When observed in an unexpected context, such as execution by an unusual parent process or connection to an untrusted endpoint, it may indicate suspicious remote access activity.

Detects Linux processes masquerading as 'php-fpm' or 'postgres' that match known SHA-256 hashes associated with the RedTail malware family. The rule identifies processes attempting to hide their identity using techniques similar to prctl(PR_SET_NAME) to rename themselves while running malicious code.

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.
