20,501 detections

This rule detects potential ClickFix/InstallFix attacks where a user is socially engineered to copy and paste a malicious command from a website that mimics a legitimate developer tool installation (e.g., Claude Code, NotebookLM). The detection flags the use of common download-and-execute cmdlets (e.g., irm, iwr, iex) within common Windows shell interpreters while excluding known legitimate vendor install domains.

001
Detects a sequence of potentially malicious local command execution (via PowerShell, cmd, or mshta) that mirrors the 'ClickFix' social engineering pattern, followed by an OAuth application consent grant or device-code authorization by the same user within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass MFA by tricking a user into authorizing a malicious application after establishing local execution on their endpoint.

Detects the simultaneous activation of three or more distinct browser profiles on the same device within a one-hour window. This behavior is used as a proxy for browser session hijacking or 'browser sync' attacks, where an adversary bridges a compromised personal identity into a managed corporate browser environment.

Detects the use of ntdsutil.exe with arguments indicative of Install From Media (IFM) backup creation, correlated with subsequent access to the ntds.dit file on the same device within a one-hour window. This behavior is commonly associated with attackers attempting to harvest the Active Directory database for offline credential cracking.

Detects the execution of PowerShell or PWSH with encoded command flags (-EncodedCommand, -enc, -e), which is a common technique used by adversaries to hide malicious scripts or payloads from inspection.

001
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe that involve suspicious arguments (such as encoded commands, execution from volatile directories like Temp/AppData, or run-once triggers) shortly after a file has been downloaded into a temporary or user-writable directory. This pattern is commonly indicative of an adversary establishing persistence for downloaded malware.

Detects execution of rundll32.exe or regsvr32.exe with potentially malicious command-line arguments, including references to external URLs, protocol handlers like javascript:, or loading DLLs from user-writable directories (Temp, AppData, Downloads). This behavior is characteristic of Living-off-the-Land (LotL) techniques used to proxy execution and bypass application control or security monitoring.

Detects attempts to disable security services (Windows Defender, EDR agents), modify audit policies via auditpol, or stop/clear the Windows Event Log service. This behavior is a common precursor to post-compromise activity intended to blind defenders and conceal malicious actions.

001
Detects the execution of command-line archiving utilities (e.g., 7z, rar, zip) to create potentially password-protected archives within common staging directories (Temp, Public, ProgramData), followed by an outbound network connection to an external destination. This behavior is consistent with data staging and subsequent exfiltration.

Detects the 'ClickFix' attack pattern where explorer.exe (typically via a Run dialog interaction) spawns a command shell (PowerShell, cmd, or mshta) using obfuscated flags combined with execution indicators (download/execution), which then subsequently spawns a secondary child process. This chain provides high-confidence evidence of malicious intent compared to isolated process executions.

Detects attempts to dump credentials from the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process memory using common tools like Mimikatz, Procdump, or built-in system utilities such as comsvcs.dll or command-line arguments indicating memory dump operations.

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.

001
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.

001
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.
