Detects obfuscated PowerShell execution (utilizing common bypass and hiding flags) that subsequently spawns the C# compiler (csc.exe) from suspicious locations (AppData, Temp, or tmp directories). This pattern is consistent with fileless payload delivery and runtime compilation, such as that observed in recent NeptuneRAT campaigns leveraging Chrome Native Messaging.

0010
Detects Microsoft Defender service (MsMpEng.exe) spawning common interactive or scripting processes (such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, etc.) while running as SYSTEM. This behavior is highly irregular for an antivirus engine and is characteristic of exploit-based process hollowing or quarantine pipeline abuse, as observed in CVE-2026-50656.

Detects the 'ClickFix' social-engineering pattern where an adversary tricks a user into opening the Windows Run dialog (Win+R) and pasting a malicious command. This is identified by monitoring for powershell.exe spawned directly by explorer.exe that correlates in time with a new RunMRU registry entry.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with specific flags to bypass execution policy and hide the window, commonly used to execute encoded payloads. This rule monitors for PowerShell processes spawned by suspicious parent processes such as 'cmd.exe' or 'ElevatorShellCode.exe' that include parameters like '-ep bypass', '-w hidden', and base64-encoded strings.

Detects the use of PowerShell's .NET WebClient class to download and execute potentially malicious files. The rule monitors for common indicators of in-memory or on-disk file downloading, such as Headers.Add being used to set a User-Agent, and the DownloadData method being invoked. It specifically flags common filenames associated with stage, update, or privilege escalation payloads.

Detects the dropping of a suspicious DLL file ('abe_decrypt.dll') in a temporary directory, followed by the termination and relaunch of a browser process (Chrome, Edge, or Brave), and the subsequent loading of the same DLL into the browser process, which is highly indicative of browser process injection and DLL hijacking activity.

Detects the use of administrative utilities (takeown, icacls, del) to modify permissions on and subsequently delete critical Windows boot files (winload.exe, winload.efi, ntoskrnl.exe, bootmgr). This activity is associated with GigaWiper and is intended to render the target operating system unbootable.

Detects a Node.js process termination followed by a quick respawn of a new Node.js process by the same parent process. This pattern suggests a watchdog persistence mechanism where the parent process monitors the child, automatically restarting it if it is terminated, consistent with behaviors observed in malware such as Void Dokkaebi.

Detects the use of 'osascript' to execute AppleScript-based dialog boxes designed to trick users into providing credentials or mimicking system administration prompts. These scripts use labels often associated with fake security or permission requests to harvest passwords.
