Detects instances of rundll32.exe being used with suspicious command line arguments, such as referencing JavaScript, loading Control Panel applets (.cpl) via shell32.dll from non-standard locations, or executing DLLs directly from user-writable directories (Temp, AppData, Downloads, ProgramData). These patterns are common techniques used by adversaries to proxy execution and evade detection.

Detects the execution of the Microsoft HTML Application host (mshta.exe) when it is used to launch scripts from remote URLs (http/https/ftp) or when it spawns common command-line shells and scripting engines, which is a common indicator of living-off-the-land techniques used to execute malicious payloads.

Detects the abuse of signed Windows system binaries regsvr32.exe and rundll32.exe for proxy execution, defense evasion, and credential access. The rule identifies suspicious command-line patterns including Squiblydoo (regsvr32 with remote scriptlets), rundll32 executing JavaScript via mshtml.dll, rundll32 performing LSASS credential dumping via comsvcs.dll, and the loading of DLLs from untrusted user-writable locations like Temp or Downloads folders.

Detects the execution of PowerShell commands that leverage obfuscation or evasion techniques such as Base64 encoded commands, hidden window styles, in-memory script downloads via IEX, and common string obfuscation methods like backtick insertion, character concatenation, and casting. These techniques are frequently used by adversaries to bypass command-line monitoring and execute malicious payloads.

Detects the use of legitimate Windows system utilities certutil.exe and bitsadmin.exe to perform remote file downloads or decode remote content. Adversaries often use these dual-use tools to bypass network security controls by masquerading as standard system processes for staging second-stage payloads.

This rule detects PowerShell processes (including pwsh and ISE) referencing Anti-Malware Scan Interface (AMSI) related classes and methods in their command line arguments. This is a common indicator of an attempt to interact with or manipulate AMSI, often used to bypass or disable security scanning during the execution of malicious scripts.

Detects instances where the WMI service (wmiprvse.exe) spawns common command-line or system tools such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or rundll32.exe. This behavior is often indicative of lateral movement or remote command execution via WMI.

Detects common suspicious PowerShell command-line patterns often used for malicious purposes, including base64-encoded command execution, hidden-window execution with common evasion flags, and the use of download/execution cmdlets for in-memory payload delivery.

This rule monitors for process creation events where the parent process is identified as the WMI Provider Host (wmiprvse.exe) or the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (wmic.exe) tool, executing a Win32_Process creation command. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries for remote execution and lateral movement.

Detects the use of built-in Windows utilities (vssadmin, wmic, powershell, wbadmin, and bcdedit) to delete volume shadow copies, backup catalogs, or modify boot configuration to prevent system recovery. This activity is commonly associated with ransomware operations to inhibit data restoration.

Detects the creation of a Volume Shadow Copy followed by an attempt to copy the NTDS.dit file from the shadow copy device path. This sequence is a common technique used by attackers to bypass file locks and extract Active Directory credential databases.

Detects the execution of a process from a non-standard writable directory (e.g., Temp, Downloads, AppData) which subsequently loads an unsigned DLL from the same directory within two minutes of process creation. This behavior is indicative of DLL side-loading, where an adversary uses a legitimate, potentially signed application to load a malicious DLL, bypassing security controls.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe that execute common script interpreters (powershell.exe, wscript.exe, mshta.exe, cscript.exe) from user-writable or temporary directories (Temp, AppData, ProgramData, Users\Public). This activity often indicates an attempt to establish persistence or run malicious scripts.

This rule detects the invocation of rundll32.exe, regsvr32.exe, or mshta.exe with arguments pointing to remote resources (UNC, WebDAV, or HTTP(S) URLs). This pattern is commonly used by attackers to execute remote scriptlets (e.g., .sct, .hta, .dll) for living-off-the-land bypasses or initial staging of malicious payloads, such as the Squiblytwo or Squiblydoo techniques.

This rule performs a point-in-time sweep for known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) associated with the NeedyMantis threat actor group. The detection logic searches for specific file, process, and image-load SHA256 hashes, communication with a known C2 domain (tripswithengine.com), and the use of a hard-coded user-agent string (Firefox/21.0) across various telemetry sources within the last 30 days.

This rule monitors for execution of files with specific SHA256 hashes known to be malicious, and network connections to a known malicious domain associated with Vultr storage. It aggregates file creation, process execution, and network connection events to detect potential threat activity.

Detects the execution of the 'gitshot' binary, which is known to automatically create public repositories and release tags to host screenshots or screen recordings. This behavior can be abused by insiders or attackers to exfiltrate sensitive data outside of corporate control.

Detects a multi-stage process execution chain involving PowerShell: first, a script-based download of remote content, followed by in-memory reflection, and finally, suspicious memory allocation or thread manipulation within the same process context. This pattern is characteristic of fileless malware execution chains designed to evade disk-based detection.
