Detects suspicious command line patterns on macOS where base64 encoded strings are decoded and piped directly into a shell interpreter (bash/zsh/sh). This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to execute obfuscated payloads or scripts directly in memory.

Detects potential persistence attempts via registry modifications involving rundll32.exe. The rule monitors for two patterns: registry keys associated with shell commands for specific file types triggering rundll32.exe, and registry 'Run' keys using a 'Locked' value name with a custom URI handler, often indicative of malware or suspicious persistence mechanisms.

This rule detects the use of headless or automated web browser tooling (such as Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, or browser-specific drivers like chromedriver) establishing network connections to popular generative AI websites. This behavior can indicate automated interaction with AI services, potential data exfiltration of internal information, or unauthorized automation.

This rule detects executable files (ending in .exe) executing from a specific subdirectory within the user's AppData path (\AppData\Microsoft\Update\). This path is often used by adversaries to masquerade malicious activity or persistence mechanisms as legitimate update processes. The rule excludes common system service accounts (SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE) to reduce noise, focusing on processes initiated by user-level accounts.

This rule detects the presence of command line artifacts, filenames, and strings associated with the SilverFox malware. These strings indicate the execution of a malicious desktop monitoring component ('active_desktop_launcher.exe') or the use of specific IPC/configuration markers ('@@RAPID_CFG_START@@') characteristic of this threat's tradecraft.

This rule detects potential post-exploitation activity following a SharePoint XamlServices.Parse() deserialization attack. It monitors the w3wp.exe (IIS worker process) for the loading of suspicious .NET deserialization-related assemblies (e.g., System.Xaml.dll) followed by the execution of a shell process (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, etc.) within a short window, which is indicative of fileless web shell activity.

Detects malicious activity associated with the ClickFix/Vidar campaign, where adversaries create persistence using the Windows Run registry key while masquerading as the legitimate 'VoidTools Everything.exe' utility. The rule correlates registry modifications with the creation or execution of a file path mimicking the legitimate software in suspicious locations.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating a rapid burst of file creation, modification, or renaming events across multiple directories with prior execution of defense evasion commands, such as deleting volume shadow copies or terminating security-related processes. This sequence is characteristic of ransomware operators attempting to disable recovery options and security protections before commencing mass file encryption.

507
Detects unauthorized mass clearing of Windows Event Logs using wevtutil or PowerShell cmdlets. This behavior is often observed in ransomware campaigns (e.g., Nova, Gentlemen) as an anti-forensic measure to hinder incident response and investigation by removing audit trails across significant log channels like Security, System, and PowerShell.

This rule detects the execution of the MeshAgent remote administration tool from a temporary directory followed by a network connection to known malicious infrastructure within a 15-minute window. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized remote access setup or C2 activity using a legitimate remote management utility.

Detects activity associated with the SharePoint ToolShell exploitation chain, specifically monitoring the w3wp.exe process for spawning suspicious child processes like cmd.exe or powershell.exe, and the creation of unexpected .aspx files within the SharePoint LAYOUTS directory.

Detects the abuse of WerFaultSecure.exe or similar Windows Error Reporting processes, invoked with debugging or dumping flags against security/EDR process names, or spawned by unexpected parent processes. This technique is often used to freeze security tools (EDR-Freeze) by exploiting process suspension via mini-dump handles.

103
Detects anomalous outbound network connections initiated by security and developer tooling (Trivy, Checkmarx, LiteLLM, Telnyx). This behavior is consistent with supply-chain attacks, such as those attributed to the UNC6780/TeamPCP threat group, where compromised tooling is leveraged to exfiltrate sensitive cloud credentials or API keys to external, non-vendor infrastructure.

006
This rule monitors for network communication with known malicious infrastructure (IPs/domains) and the execution of specific suspicious file names. It correlates device network events, file system activity, and process execution, specifically flagging attempts to execute MSI installers or other binaries associated with the identified threat indicators.

Detects a suspected ClickFix infection sequence associated with Psychedelic Stealer. The rule identifies a user navigating to known malicious lure pages (often mimicking Cloudflare CAPTCHAs) followed shortly by the Windows Run dialog (explorer.exe) initiating msiexec.exe to execute a remote MSI file.

104
This rule detects the execution of processes that use file names mimicking legitimate security or system services, such as 'Credential Guard.exe' or 'Window Security Health Services.exe'. These names are often used by adversaries for masquerading to evade detection by blending in with legitimate system activity.

Detects anomalous child process execution (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe) by the Microsoft Exchange IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) or the creation of .aspx files in Exchange web directories. This behavior is highly indicative of post-exploitation activity, such as web shell deployment, frequently observed in attacks targeting vulnerabilities like ProxyShell and ProxyLogon.

008
Detects the modification of service permissions for the 'AgtaBackupAgentSvc' service using the 'sdset' command via 'sc.exe', 'cmd.exe', or 'powershell.exe'. Adversaries use this technique to hide services or modify access to them by applying a specific Service Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string to bypass security enumeration or maintain persistence.

Detects the execution of PowerShell from processes associated with legitimate Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools (such as ScreenConnect or LogMeIn) running under the SYSTEM account. This behavior is indicative of an attacker who has gained access to an RMM tenant and is using an interactive session to execute commands, perform reconnaissance, or deploy further malicious payloads.

Detects suspicious process execution patterns associated with RMMCRAT, where the Windows SmartScreen process (smartscreen.exe) spawns cmd.exe, which subsequently launches PowerShell with specific parameters for piped input/output. This behavior is characteristic of malicious code injection and command-and-control activity.
