Detects Node.js processes launched via command line with potentially obfuscated or malicious code patterns. This includes the use of eval-like flags combined with JavaScript memory management or network-related library imports, as well as command lines containing unusually long hex-encoded strings or base64-encoded blocks often used by attackers to hide payloads.

Detects the post-exploitation pattern associated with the DirtyClone (CVE-2026-43503) vulnerability, where a non-root process executes '/usr/bin/su' with the '-c /bin/sh' argument, resulting in a spawned shell running with root privileges. This behavior is indicative of an in-memory patch to the su binary's page cache, allowing for unauthorized privilege escalation without modifying the on-disk binary or triggering standard PAM authentication events.

Detects instances where 'node.exe' executes 'protocal.cjs' from 'NodePackages' paths, subsequently spawning child processes that perform host reconnaissance activities. This includes PowerShell commands querying registry keys related to installed software or listing applications.

007
Detects signs of access token manipulation and impersonation, including the use of 'runas' with saved credentials, suspicious PowerShell API calls for identity management, usage of known token-manipulation tools (e.g., incognito), and reconnaissance using 'whoami /priv'. These activities are indicative of privilege escalation attempts or lateral movement.

Detects the use of native Windows utilities such as shutdown.exe, wmic, powershell, and rundll32 to trigger an immediate system shutdown or restart, which may be indicative of unauthorized system disruption or malicious activity.

001
Detects potential credential dumping activities and unauthorized access to sensitive system files. The rule monitors for three primary indicators: raw disk device access (often associated with volume shadow copy dumping), suspicious DiskShadow utility execution, and NTDS.dit extraction using ntdsutil. Known administrative and backup software processes are excluded to minimize noise.

This rule monitors for potential abuse of the Microsoft Management Console (mmc.exe) to proxy malicious activity. It detects three primary behaviors: 1) mmc.exe being launched with a .msc file originating from user-writable or suspicious directories; 2) mmc.exe spawning known suspicious child processes (e.g., powershell.exe, cmd.exe, rundll32.exe); and 3) the creation or modification of .msc files in suspicious locations by processes other than mmc.exe or msiexec.exe.

001
This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious queries against Windows Registry paths known to contain sensitive information, including security hives (SAM, SECURITY), application-specific secrets (PuTTY, OpenSSH, RealVNC), and system autologon credentials. It monitors both command-line executions of 'reg.exe' and PowerShell commands targeting these registry keys.

001
This rule detects potential Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) abuse (specifically ESC1 and ESC8 patterns) by monitoring command-line executions of 'certreq.exe' and 'certutil.exe' that utilize suspicious flags or originate from non-standard administrative processes. This activity is indicative of an attacker attempting to enroll certificates for unauthorized entities or escalate privileges within a Windows domain.

Detects techniques associated with Golden SAML attacks, including the use of Mimikatz for ADFS token-signing certificate extraction, the execution of AADInternals PowerShell cmdlets for SAML token forgery, and unauthorized access to the ADFS configuration database (AdfsConfiguration.mdf).

Detects the use of living-off-the-land tools like plink.exe, netsh.exe, and ssh.exe to create tunnels that forward RDP traffic (port 3389). This behavior is often indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass network controls or hide RDP sessions by tunneling them through other protocols or non-standard port configurations.

Detects the creation of suspicious named pipes by low-privilege processes, which is a technique used by local privilege escalation tools (like PrintSpoofer, RoguePotato, and GodPotato) to intercept and impersonate high-privilege (SYSTEM) tokens.

This rule detects indicators of Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing infrastructure, specifically targeting Evilginx2 and similar proxy frameworks. It identifies unauthorized execution of Evilginx2 binaries, the presence of specific session and configuration files (.evilginx/, phishlets, session databases), unauthorized modifications to Nginx configurations, and the dropping of suspicious HTML lure files into web document roots by scripting interpreters.

This rule detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility with command-line arguments indicating persistence triggers ('onlogon', 'onstart') or elevation to the 'SYSTEM' account. Adversaries commonly use these methods to ensure malicious code executes automatically upon system startup or with high privileges to facilitate further exploitation.

Detects unauthorized attempts to access or list stored credentials via Windows Credential Manager using standard administrative tools (cmdkey.exe, vaultcmd.exe) or PowerShell, as well as direct unauthorized access to credential storage files within the AppData directory.

Detects a PowerShell process initiated by node.exe that attempts to reflectively load a .NET assembly from memory. The detection specifically looks for keywords related to .NET Reflection, byte array loading, and a known C2 domain (hellolargeworld.com), along with the 'Extension.SubRoutine.Run2' invocation, indicating potential backdoor activity.

Detects the execution of known credential dumping tools and techniques on Windows systems. This includes targeting LSASS process memory using procdump or rundll32 with comsvcs.dll, and attempts to extract NTDS.dit via ntdsutil, vssadmin, or diskshadow.

Detects the abuse of the CertUtil.exe Windows utility to download, decode, encode, or split files. This behavior is considered suspicious when initiated by common command-line shells or Office applications, which are frequently used as entry points for malicious scripts or macro-based attacks.
