Detects reconnaissance activities performed on compromised web servers, including the enumeration of installed security software, installed applications via WMI or registry queries, and service/process listing. These actions are often observed as a precursor to defense impairment or further exploitation originating from web server processes like w3wp.exe.

Detects attempts to modify file timestamps (CreationTime, LastWriteTime, LastAccessTime) using PowerShell Set-ItemProperty cmdlets or command-line tools like 'touch'. This behavior is often associated with adversary attempts to hide artifacts or modify forensic timelines, specifically when targeting directories associated with web servers.

Detects attempts to uninstall, disable, or remove ModSecurity Web Application Firewall (WAF) modules on IIS or Apache servers. This behavior often indicates an adversary attempting to impair security defenses by disabling WAF protection to facilitate further malicious activity, such as web shell deployment or exploitation.

Detects anomalous child process execution from common web browsers often associated with Browser-in-the-Browser (BitB) attacks. The rule correlates browser-spawned processes like PowerShell, cmd, or mshta with concurrent, suspicious network activity targeting login or account-related domains outside of expected conferencing platforms.

Detects the removal or uninstallation of the ModSecurity Web Application Firewall (WAF) module across Windows (via appcmd.exe) and Linux (via package managers or apxs). Adversaries often disable security controls like ModSecurity to facilitate the exploitation of web vulnerabilities or to maintain persistence without triggering defensive alerts.

This rule detects when common web browsers or messaging applications spawn suspicious child processes such as command-line interpreters (cmd, powershell, wscript, mshta) or processes associated with remote access tools (NetSupport Manager). Such behaviors are often indicative of exploitation, malicious payload delivery, or unauthorized remote access.

This rule detects potential tampering with security software processes and services, as well as the execution of suspicious batch scripts (i.bat). It identifies when administrative tools like sc.exe, taskkill.exe, or net.exe are used to stop or delete security agents such as Sysmon, Filebeat, SentinelAgent, or antivirus services. It also monitors for the execution of 'i.bat' via command shell, which is commonly associated with malicious automation or persistence.

This rule detects potential file timestamp manipulation (timestomping) and suspicious file operations commonly associated with web shell installation on Windows systems. It monitors for PowerShell commands, touch.exe execution, and cmd.exe file copy operations directed at web directories, as well as file write events involving specific known web shell filenames.

Detects potential CastleLoader delivery by monitoring for suspicious child process executions (e.g., PowerShell, cmd, mshta, wscript, cscript) spawned directly by common browser or email client parent processes. This behavior is indicative of a user interacting with a malicious phishing link or attachment as part of a malware delivery chain.

This rule detects instances where common web browsers (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, iexplore.exe) or mshta.exe spawn shell processes (powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, cmd.exe) with suspicious command-line arguments. These arguments often indicate malicious activity such as downloading and executing code, using encoded commands, or hiding the execution window, which are typical indicators of a web-based delivery or exploitation attempt.
