Detects the execution of PowerShell (powershell.exe or pwsh.exe) using command-line arguments typical of encoded commands, such as -enc, -EncodedCommand, or the use of 'frombase64string' within the command line. These patterns are frequently used by adversaries to hide malicious payloads and bypass simple string-based security controls.

This rule detects common Windows processes (msiexec, cmd, dllhost, or rundll32) attempting to detect the presence of a debugger by calling 'IsDebuggerPresent' or 'SetUnhandledExceptionFilter' within their call stack. This behavior is often associated with malware or malicious tools attempting to evade dynamic analysis in sandbox or debugged environments.

Detects the execution of 7z.exe with specific command line arguments that include references to 'data.dat' and 'Traiolx Custom Utils', which may indicate the use of 7-Zip for staging or archiving collected data for exfiltration.

Detects evidence of the 'smart_window' campaign, which exploits Firefox's SmartWindow feature to exfiltrate private browsing URLs. The rule identifies suspicious outbound network requests to attacker-controlled endpoints containing specific query parameters, the creation of known PoC artifact files, and the spawning of unexpected child processes by the Firefox browser.

Detects Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) lateral movement activity by monitoring for mmc.exe and dllhost.exe network connections to non-local endpoints or when these processes are spawned by suspicious parent processes typically associated with command execution or malicious behavior.

This rule detects the creation of Amazon Q Model Context Protocol (MCP) configuration files, identified by 'mcp.json' in specific directories. It additionally correlates this file creation event with concurrent Git operations (checkout, merge, pull, or fetch) performed by a user, flagging the activity as a higher risk signal if both conditions are met.

Detects potential UAC bypass attempts using COM surrogate (dllhost.exe) or MMC (mmc.exe) to spawn child processes from suspicious or user-writable locations like AppData or Temp. It also monitors for specific command-line artifacts associated with BeepRAT and other potentially malicious activity.

Detects potentially malicious child process creation or unauthorized outbound network connections initiated by AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) through their integrated Node.js or Python environments. This rule identifies common post-exploitation behaviors such as shell execution, command-line reconnaissance, and connections to external non-internal IP addresses.

Detects SystemBC (Coroxy) malware attempting to establish persistence by writing to Windows Registry Run or RunOnce keys. The rule specifically monitors for registry value names associated with 'socks5' proxy functionality, the presence of 'stmbc.exe' in registry data, or hidden PowerShell command strings often used by the malware for execution.

004
Detects various reconnaissance and discovery commands, including process listing, registry queries, and security software enumeration, that are characteristic of the SystemBC malware's in-memory scripting behaviors. The rule identifies suspicious process parent-child relationships, unauthorized registry queries of sensitive security paths, and the use of command-line tools like WMIC, Tasklist, and PowerShell for environment discovery without disk-based script artifacts.

This rule detects activities related to the 'ipv6_extlen_wrap_probe' proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit, which targets IPv6 extension header vulnerabilities. The detection logic monitors for: 1. Execution of the PoC binary, 2. Compilation of the PoC source code using common compilers like g++ or MinGW, 3. Creation of files associated with the PoC, and 4. Nmap execution with specific flags indicative of an attempt to trigger the vulnerability via raw IPv6 scanning.

This rule detects activities related to the 'Exploitarium' DLX exploit proof-of-concept (PoC) toolkit. It monitors for the invocation of 'objdump' with specific flags used in these exploits, the presence of associated Python and shell scripts on the filesystem, and the spawning of suspicious child processes (like command interpreters or calculators) by 'objdump', which acts as an indicator of successful exploitation or exploit testing.

Detects the BeepRAT malware establishing persistence by creating a scheduled task named 'WindowsUpdateTempFileCleanUp' via 'schtasks.exe'. The task is configured to execute a malicious loader chain using the Tiny C Compiler to run a hidden config file, often spawned from a binary named 'HFY.exe'.

Detects suspicious activities originating from SimpleHelp remote support processes, including the spawning of unauthorized child processes, execution of potentially malicious JavaScript loaders (e.g., TaskWeaver-related), and access to sensitive browser-based credential or configuration files often targeted by infostealers like Djinn Stealer.

Detects potential Velocity Template Language (VTL) injection attacks targeting API Gateway environments. The rule identifies suspicious payloads in HTTP request bodies or URLs that attempt to leverage Java-based classes (e.g., ProcessBuilder) for code execution. It also monitors for IAM scope bypass attempts, abnormal HTTP method/path combinations associated with API Gateway control-plane operations, and evidence of shell/system commands being spawned from API Gateway-related parent processes.

Detects anomalous activities associated with the SystemInformer (formerly Process Hacker) kernel driver service (phsvc), which is known to be leveraged for local privilege escalation (LPE). The rule identifies the execution of rundll32 with suspicious command line parameters, the spawning of SYSTEM-level child processes by the phsvc service context, and unauthorized access to the SiSvcApiPort named pipe, which is used for inter-process communication with the kernel driver.

Detects multiple suspicious activities associated with the AnyDesk remote access application, including the creation of specific named pipes, execution of processes with sensitive command-line arguments (e.g., comsvcs, impersonation privileges), non-standard DLL loads by the application, and the spawning of system-level processes. These behaviors are indicative of abuse of remote access software for post-exploitation activities or privilege escalation.

Detects evidence of Djinn Stealer malware activity, including unauthorized access to web browser credential stores, suspicious child process creation by the SimpleHelp RMM daemon, and network communication with a known command-and-control server (96.126.130.126:58942) using a specific telemetry client user agent.

Detects web server processes (e.g., PHP, IIS, Apache, Nginx) spawning suspicious child processes including shells (cmd.exe, powershell, bash) or network utilities (curl, wget, netcat), which is often indicative of webshell exploitation or post-compromise activity.
