Detects command-line execution (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) originating from a python.exe process tree, correlated with long-running, frequent outbound public network connections from the same python.exe process. This behavior is consistent with the SynkLoader RAT module, where a loader uses a Python process to execute system commands and maintain persistent C2 channels.

Detects coordinated behavioral signals associated with the CVE-2025-25249 campaign, which deploys the PivotC2 Node.js RAT on FortiGate devices. The rule correlates anomalous inbound CAPWAP (UDP/5246) traffic, Node.js process execution, suspicious JavaScript file writes, and unauthorized access to Fortinet configuration files, followed by long-lived outbound TLS beacons to non-standard ports.

This rule detects the execution of processes or network connections that impersonate 'WhatsApp' or 'Instagram' companion applications. It identifies specific file names and process command lines that mimic these applications, often associated with browser-launched or malicious payloads, and monitors for associated network traffic directed toward suspicious endpoints like herokuapp domains.

This rule performs a comprehensive hunt for activities associated with the MuddyWater (also known as Boggy Serpens) threat group, specifically relating to their 'Operation Olalampo' campaign. It monitors for spearphishing artifacts (lure documents and attachments), execution of specific malware and drop artifacts, the use of LOLBins by Office applications, unauthorized remote access via AnyDesk, Telegram-based C2 communication, and persistence mechanisms such as registry run keys and specific file extensions (.wdlp).

Detects suspicious command execution patterns commonly associated with ClickFix-style social engineering attacks. The rule identifies Terminal processes executing shell commands that retrieve remote content via curl, followed by base64 decoding and/or piping directly into a shell interpreter (zsh/sh/bash), which is a common technique for executing obfuscated malicious payloads.

Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows security controls, including disabling Windows SmartScreen via registry, bulk removal of Mark-of-the-Web (Zone.Identifier) via scripting, and disabling driver signature enforcement (TestSigning/NoIntegrityChecks) using BCDedit. These actions are indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass security protections to facilitate the execution of untrusted or malicious code.

This rule detects attempts to modify file or directory permissions (e.g., using icacls, takeown, chmod, or chown) on paths associated with known security products. Such activity is often indicative of an adversary attempting to tamper with, disable, or exclude security tools from logging or inspection.

This rule monitors for scenarios where multiple common GUI applications (such as browsers, explorer, or notepad) are executed in rapid succession (within 2 minutes) from suspicious directories commonly associated with malware staging (e.g., Temp, AppData, or Downloads). This pattern is often indicative of an adversary executing a malicious payload, such as a multi-stage dropper or a file-based installer masquerading as legitimate software.

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 execution of the Windows FTP client (ftp.exe) initiated by command-line interpreters such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or wscript.exe, specifically when utilizing the '-s:' flag. This flag is commonly used to provide a text file containing FTP commands, which is a frequent technique for automated file transfers or exfiltration during post-exploitation activities.

This rule detects processes with names commonly associated with system daemons (e.g., kworker, fc-cache, chronyd, gvfsd) that are executing from non-standard, suspicious directories such as /tmp/ or user-defined hidden folders. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to masquerade malicious binaries as legitimate system processes to evade detection.

Detects attempts to install or modify the 'WMI Provider Host' (WmiPrvSE) service, which is a common technique used by adversaries for persistence or to masquerade malicious activity. The rule monitors process execution, registry modifications, and service installation events specifically targeting this service name.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the manipulation of Windows services using 'sc.exe' to stop or delete services, combined with the forceful termination of 'svchost.exe' processes via 'wmic.exe'. This pattern is often associated with adversaries attempting to disable security tools, logging agents, or other defensive mechanisms on an endpoint.

Detects the use of the Windows reg.exe utility to copy Registry keys related to Radmin, a legitimate remote access tool that is frequently abused by threat actors for persistence and remote control. The command-line arguments /s and /f indicate a silent, forced copy operation, which is characteristic of script-based configuration tampering.

The following analytic detects a Python process making an outbound network connection during package installation.
Adversaries can abuse `setup.py` build scripts by leveraging `distutils`/`setuptools` command classes to execute arbitrary code, including network beacons to third-party domains, the moment a malicious Python package is installed.
This activity is significant because it allows adversaries to establish a foothold or exfiltrate data without any direct interaction from the victim beyond running `pip install`.
If confirmed malicious, this could indicate a successful software supply chain compromise.
