Detects instances where a Node.js process (invoked via npm) spawns suspicious secondary processes such as shell interpreters (cmd, powershell, sh, bash) or network utilities (curl, wget). This pattern is often indicative of malicious npm lifecycle scripts (e.g., preinstall, postinstall) attempting to perform system reconnaissance or download secondary payloads.

Detects anomalous behaviors associated with malicious npm package self-upgrades, where node.exe modifies its own source files within node_modules or spawns npm pack commands to replace existing dependencies with malicious versions.

This rule detects various User Account Control (UAC) bypass techniques (such as fodhelper.exe or eventvwr.exe hijacking), registry modifications involving 'ms-settings' classes, and the use of 'Start-Process -Verb RunAs' to request administrative privileges. It also flags potentially elevated installations of OpenSSH or Tailscale, which are commonly targeted by attackers following privilege escalation.

Detects the execution of wscript.exe, msiexec.exe, or cmd.exe initiated with command lines pointing to script files (.js, .vbs) or shortcut files (.lnk) located on removable drives (d-z drive letters). This behavior is characteristic of the Raspberry Robin worm spreading via infected USB media.

Detects node.exe spawning cmd.exe or powershell.exe during npm package installation process, indicating potential malicious use of preinstall or postinstall scripts. This pattern has been observed in supply chain attacks involving infostealers like Miasma and MYRA.

Detects the execution of Python scripts on Windows that utilize keyboard hooking libraries or APIs (pynput, GetAsyncKeyState, SetWindowsHookEx) characteristic of keylogging behavior. The rule specifically excludes known development environments to reduce false positives.

Detects reconnaissance and exploit activity associated with the BUMSRAKETE exploit (CVE-2026-45257) targeting FreeBSD. The rule identifies system configuration checks of kernel parameters related to kTLS and mbuf external pages, as well as the execution of file permission manipulation commands often required to bypass immutable (schg) file flags during the exploitation process.

Detects unauthorized usage of the RustDesk remote access tool, including process execution from suspicious parents, service installation, outbound connections to known relay infrastructure, and DNS queries for RustDesk relay domains originating from non-browser processes. This rule is designed to identify secondary or redundant remote access channels potentially established by adversaries.

Detects indicators of the BUMSRAKETE FreeBSD kernel-level exploit (CVE-2026-45257). This rule monitors for exploit artifact file creation, malicious use of dd to overwrite SUID binaries for privilege escalation, kernel configuration enumeration via sysctl, spawning of shell processes with root UID from suid-related binaries, and kernel version fingerprinting.

Detects evidence of exploitation for CVE-2026-45257, a FreeBSD vulnerability that allows bypassing chflags schg immutable flags. The detection tracks the initial reconnaissance phase where unprivileged processes query the sysctl 'kern.ipc.mb_use_ext_pgs' followed by the creation of specific exploit restorer artifacts '/tmp/.lpe_orig' and '/tmp/.x'.

004
Detects instances where npm or node processes execute suspicious shell commands or scripts, often associated with software supply chain attacks. The rule looks for child processes like shell interpreters (sh, bash) or utilities (curl, wget, python) initiated by node/npm, combined with suspicious command-line patterns indicative of obfuscated execution or malicious package lifecycle scripts.

Detects the execution, installation, or configuration of Tailscale, a legitimate remote access tool. The rule monitors for common command-line arguments like '--authkey' and 'up', service-related activity, and execution from non-standard file paths. It flags instances where Tailscale is spawned by common script interpreters or command shells, which is a common indicator of unauthorized remote access or C2 implant activity.

Detects the creation or modification of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) event subscriptions (filters, consumers, and bindings) that target potentially malicious destinations like cmd.exe, PowerShell, or files located in common user-writable directories like Temp or AppData, or multiple concurrent WMI subscription activities which may indicate persistence mechanisms.

Detects the spawning of common command-line shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, net.exe) by the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) process, wsmprovhost.exe. This activity is indicative of lateral movement or remote command execution via WinRM.

Detects the use of the rclone tool with data transfer commands (copy, move, sync, copyto, moveto) originating from a GoAnywhere server process or common interactive shell processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe). This activity is highly suspicious and could indicate data exfiltration.

Detects suspicious usage of remote execution tools like PsExec, WMIC, and PowerShell, which are commonly used for lateral movement by adversaries. The rule identifies instances where these tools are executed multiple times within a short period (more than 2 times in 5 minutes) from non-system accounts and outside of standard system directories, indicating potential malicious activity.
