This rule detects potential ClickFix/InstallFix attacks where a user is socially engineered to copy and paste a malicious command from a website that mimics a legitimate developer tool installation (e.g., Claude Code, NotebookLM). The detection flags the use of common download-and-execute cmdlets (e.g., irm, iwr, iex) within common Windows shell interpreters while excluding known legitimate vendor install domains.

Detects a sequence of potentially malicious local command execution (via PowerShell, cmd, or mshta) that mirrors the 'ClickFix' social engineering pattern, followed by an OAuth application consent grant or device-code authorization by the same user within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass MFA by tricking a user into authorizing a malicious application after establishing local execution on their endpoint.

Detects the modification of the 'DisableRestrictedAdmin' registry key via 'reg.exe'. This registry setting, when disabled (set to 0), allows the use of 'Restricted Admin' mode for Remote Desktop connections, which can be leveraged to bypass certain credential protections or enable lateral movement using high-privilege credentials.

Detects PowerShell execution that modifies the 'jquery.mousewheel-3.0.6.pack.js' file while simultaneously attempting to timestomp file metadata or utilizing specific obfuscation markers identified in webshell deployment patterns.

Detects the use of ntdsutil.exe to create an Install From Media (IFM) backup of the Active Directory database (NTDS.dit) to a non-standard location, followed closely by the use of 7-Zip (7z.exe or 7za.exe) to archive that specific backup directory, which is a common indicator of credential dumping and exfiltration staging.

Detects the creation of an ASPX file within a member file upload directory, followed immediately by the execution of 'cmd.exe' by the 'w3wp.exe' web server process. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being uploaded and used to execute arbitrary commands on the server.

This rule detects instances where a process matching a known sideload-vulnerable binary (such as werfaultsecure or wuauclt) spawns a PowerShell process that executes commands commonly used for Active Directory reconnaissance and system information discovery. This behavior is indicative of post-compromise activity, specifically reconnaissance phases performed by malware loaders like Lorem Ipsum.

Detects instances where the Internet Information Services (IIS) worker process (w3wp.exe) initiates a child process of sqlcmd.exe. This behavior is highly suspicious and often indicates a post-exploitation activity where an attacker, having established a webshell or similar foothold on a web server, is using harvested credentials to query backend SQL databases directly.

Detects the creation of web scripts (aspx, php, jsp) in typical web server directories followed by suspicious shell activity (cmd, powershell, or shell execution) originating from web server processes within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being dropped and subsequently utilized for command execution.

This rule detects potential post-exploitation activity where a web server process spawns a command shell, executes system discovery commands, and immediately initiates an outbound network connection. This behavior is indicative of a web-based exploit leading to interactive command execution and subsequent C2 communication.

This rule detects the execution of common Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) and remote access tools when initiated from suspicious parent processes (such as browsers, office applications, or command-line interpreters), originating from common writeable directories (e.g., Temp, Downloads), or executed with command-line arguments indicative of silent/unattended installation. This behavior is often associated with initial access, persistence establishment, or unauthorized remote control of a system.

Detects activity associated with the MALFEX npm supply-chain campaign (also known as Overlord/movinlike). This rule performs a sweep for known malicious file hashes, suspicious process command lines, outbound network connections to malicious domains or IPs, and email communications from identified adversary-controlled accounts.

This rule detects potential Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session hijacking or suspicious automation activity. It monitors for the execution of tscon.exe, a system utility used to control remote desktop sessions, or the usage of mstsc.exe (Remote Desktop Connection) over the standard RDP port 3389, which can be indicative of lateral movement or unauthorized access.

Detects attempts to dump the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process memory for credential harvesting. The rule monitors for unauthorized process access requests (e.g., PROCESS_VM_READ), suspicious file creation of memory dumps in common writeable directories, and command-line execution of tools or techniques commonly associated with LSASS dumping (e.g., Mimikatz, procdump, or abusing comsvcs.dll).

This rule monitors endpoint telemetry (DNS queries, network connections, file creation, and process execution) to identify matches against a predefined list of known malicious indicators, including IP addresses, domains, and file hashes (SHA256). The rule differentiates between confirmed malicious activity and low-confidence indicators, providing a prioritized view of potential threats.

Detects Microsoft Office applications (winword.exe or excel.exe) spawning shell processes (cmd.exe or powershell.exe). This behavior is commonly associated with malicious VBA macro execution in weaponized Office documents used for malware delivery, such as Dridex.

This rule detects suspicious persistence activity involving known tools or names that are often masqueraded. It looks for the creation of registry run keys or scheduled tasks using names associated with common tools ('Canon Configuration Reader', 'Stardock DeElevation Tool') when the initiating process is not located in the expected vendor-authorized directories. The rule specifically alerts on devices exhibiting these behaviors within a short time window.

Detects the use of Windows administrative tools (vssadmin, wbadmin, and bcdedit) to delete Volume Shadow Copies, backup catalogs, and disable system recovery mechanisms. This behavior is highly indicative of preparatory stages for destructive wiper malware attacks, such as those historically observed by the Sandworm (Seashell Blizzard) group (e.g., CaddyWiper, Industroyer2).

Detects the execution of shortcut (.lnk) files located on removable media (USB) that spawn common Windows binaries (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, mshta.exe) with hidden window flags. This behavior is indicative of initial access or lateral movement techniques used by Mustang Panda (Earth Preta) for USB-based malware propagation and DLL side-loading.
