Detects a sequence of activity characteristic of lateral movement and credential theft: the deployment or execution of PsExec service followed by the use of Windows utilities (vssadmin, ntdsutil, esentutl) to perform Volume Shadow Copy-based extraction of the NTDS.dit database or SYSTEM hive on the same host.

Detects the execution of shell interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, Bash, Zsh) with suspicious command-line arguments typically associated with malicious activity, such as encoded commands, hidden window styles, or network download requests, when initiated by common user-facing applications like web browsers or Windows Explorer.

This rule monitors for processes that are digitally signed by 'Discord Inc.' or 'Lenovo' but executing from file paths that are not associated with legitimate installations of their software. This behavior is indicative of threat actors using stolen or compromised code-signing certificates to bypass security controls like SmartScreen or endpoint antivirus solutions.

This rule detects suspicious activity associated with Redis server processes attempting to write to SSH 'authorized_keys' files or executing commands (such as BGREWRITEAOF or directory reconfiguration) commonly used by attackers to inject malicious SSH public keys into a Redis installation for persistent remote access.

Detects Sauron Loader stage-2 payload execution: a randomly-named file dropped in %TEMP% and executed within 5 minutes by a native launcher (rundll32/regsvr32/msiexec/cmd/powershell/wscript). Scoped to devices that already show the confirmed rnpkeys.exe side-load from ProgramData\keyroll, turning a very noisy fleet-wide 'temp file executed by native binary' heuristic (matches countless legitimate installers/updaters) into a targeted next-stage check on hosts with corroborated Sauron Loader activity. Also fixes an unused/dead variable and an ambiguous post-join column reference.

Detects the execution of known remote access tools (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Quick Assist) on Windows systems. The rule is intended to be used in a correlated detection pipeline that identifies a multi-stage attack chain involving an initial email-bombing flood followed by an external Microsoft Teams vishing call impersonating IT support.

Detects creation of the 'keyroll' scheduled task used to relaunch the Sauron Loader DLL side-loading chain. Requires the schtasks.exe command line to both reference the 'keyroll' task name AND explicitly reference the ProgramData\keyroll path or rnpkeys.exe (ruling out unrelated tasks that happen to be named 'keyroll', e.g. legitimate key-rotation automation), and requires an INNER join corroborating an actual rnpkeys.exe relaunch from that path within 24h — a lone task-creation event with no follow-on relaunch no longer alerts.

Detects the Sauron Loader vishing chain: a mailbox hit by a high-volume, high-distinct-sender email bombing burst (raised from 20 to 50 emails/hour and now requiring 15+ distinct senders, to exclude single-sender retry loops or broken automation), followed within 2 hours by the same user launching Quick Assist or AnyDesk — consistent with an attacker posing as IT support after the flood. Also fixes a schema bug where EmailEvents was queried with TimeGenerated instead of Timestamp, and a post-join column reference bug.

This rule detects the execution of the AnyDesk remote access tool shortly after its likely download via Microsoft Edge. This pattern is commonly associated with social engineering vishing attacks where an adversary directs a user to download and run remote access software.

Detects a multi-stage, automated attack chain performed by AI-based development agents (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Cursor). The rule correlates process discovery, credential access, file collection (staging), and exfiltration over web services within a tight 15-minute window, identifying potential autonomous exploitation and data exfiltration. Covered T1046, T1552.001, T1078, T1005, T1567

This rule detects the execution of common Node.js package managers (npm, yarn, pnpm) attempting to install specific dependencies that match known patterns of malicious or typosquatted packages often used in supply chain attacks. The detection focuses on suspicious package names that mimic common data structure library naming conventions.

Detects instances where the Node.js process (node.exe) is executed with a command-line argument referencing 'sharedLoad.min.js'. This is often used in web-based applications or potentially malicious obfuscated scripts, but may flag legitimate JavaScript automation tasks.

Detects the presence of an XMRig cryptocurrency miner masquerading as the systemd-logind process. The rule identifies processes named 'systemd-logind' that either reside in an incorrect file path ('/usr/sbin/systemd-logind') or utilize command-line arguments characteristic of XMRig mining activity. This behavior is associated with the CARBONATO botnet.

002
This rule detects scenarios where an AI agent executes shell commands or system-level tools immediately after receiving a prompt injection attack from an untrusted source. It correlates agent audit logs—specifically identifying tool calls flagged for prompt injection—with actual endpoint process creation events. It flags process execution as 'High' severity if the command line matches common malicious patterns like encoded commands, IEX, or attempts to access credential material (e.g., lsass, mimikatz).

003
Detects the creation of a new local account that is immediately followed by (or associated with) execution from a process identified as an AI development or agent-based tool (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Ollama). The rule correlates process creation events with Windows Security Event ID 4720 (User account created) and optionally checks for subsequent addition to the local Administrators group. This logic aims to surface potential unauthorized credential creation triggered by automated AI coding assistants or LLM-driven workflows.

This rule detects malicious activity by monitoring for specific known indicators, including hashes of malicious files (ProcessRollup2), network connections to known C2 infrastructure (NetworkConnectIP4), and URL clicks (UrlClick) associated with malicious domains or paths. It acts as a multi-stage indicator correlation rule to identify execution or communication with known threats.

Detects OnyxC2 RunPE injection behavior where a process drops or loads a suspicious sideloaded DLL (specifically borlndmm.dll) and immediately initiates a secondary process instance, indicative of process hollowing or memory unpacking of a malicious payload.

Detects the specific behavior associated with the OnyxC2 C2 framework where a process re-spawns a child instance of itself, followed by a rapid registry modification by that child process. This pattern serves as a marker for the ONYXC2 loader configuration stage.

Detects the use of WinRAR to open or extract password-protected ZIP archives containing 'Setup_File' in the filename, immediately followed by the execution of a file extracted into a WinRAR temporary directory. This behavior is associated with the OnyxC2 delivery chain, where attackers use password-protected archives to bypass security scanning.

Detects the use of PowerShell processes that employ command-line encoding (e.g., -enc, -EncodedCommand) in conjunction with download-related cmdlets (e.g., DownloadString, IEX, Invoke-WebRequest), or instances of PowerShell spawned as a child process of another PowerShell process. This pattern is indicative of a loader or stage-one script fetching additional malicious payloads.
