Detects instances of process injection targeting the 'attrib.exe' process. This behavior is associated with the Sauron Loader, which performs in-memory shellcode execution by allocating memory and creating a remote thread within a legitimate process, such as 'attrib.exe', to avoid writing payloads to disk.

This rule detects the creation of specific system mutexes commonly used by malware for persistence or to avoid multiple infections (Mutual Exclusion). It monitors for both a specific hardcoded mutex and a pattern-based approach (15-20 alphanumeric characters) initiated by executables from common temporary or user-writable directories, which is a frequent indicator of malicious secondary payloads or droppers.

This rule detects a high frequency of process terminations occurring within a 5-minute window on a device where specific driver-related processes or command lines ('nvfsflt64.sys', 'Alinubx.sys') have been identified. Such behavior is characteristic of malicious activity attempting to disrupt system security components or clear traces, potentially indicating an endpoint denial of service or evasion attempt.

Detects instances where PowerShell initiates process injection behaviors, specifically targeting common user-facing applications such as browsers (chrome.exe, msedge.exe), build tools (csc.exe), or indexing services (SearchIndexer.exe). The rule identifies memory allocation and thread manipulation activities often associated with reflective code injection or memory-based payloads.

This rule detects potentially suspicious Git checkout operations initiated by AI coding assistant processes (such as Copilot, Claude, or Gemini). It looks for cases where these assistants execute a 'git checkout' command containing a specific commit hash (40 characters), followed by a secondary event where the git output indicates an 'ambiguous refname' error. This pattern may suggest an attempt by an AI tool to manipulate repository state or checkout arbitrary objects, potentially related to unauthorized code injection or malicious repository interaction.

Detects attempts to patch or disable Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) functionality by identifying memory modification operations targeting the 'EtwEventWrite' function or direct memory protection changes within 'ntdll.dll'. This is a common technique used by malware and post-exploitation tools to blind security telemetry.

Detects endpoint, process, and network activity associated with the 'TaskStomp' threat actor, specifically targeting known malicious file hashes, command-and-control domains, and specific URLs used in their campaigns.

Detects sophisticated shellcode execution patterns characteristic of MovieReaper, specifically monitoring for the combination of RWX memory protection allocation, manipulation of Vectored Exception Handlers (VEH), and usage of manual syscall stubs (NtProtectVirtualMemory) to bypass EDR user-mode API hooking.

Detects removable-media/storage interaction events initiated by the PlugX side-loaded process chain (GRrte.exe / Jarte.exe), consistent with the PlugX core's drive-type query and removable-media ejection behavior (GetDriveTypeW / DeviceIoControl)

This rule detects attempts by AutoIt scripts (running as AutoIt3.exe or from Temp directories) to perform process injection into the Windows Character Map utility (charmap.exe). It monitors for suspicious API calls like OpenProcess, CreateRemoteThread, and VirtualAllocEx, specifically looking for memory access and protection flags commonly used during malicious process injection.

This rule detects the creation of a synchronization mutex with a specific naming pattern ('Global\EVOLUTION') often used by malware families to ensure only a single instance of the malicious process runs on the infected host. The rule monitors DeviceEvents for 'MutexCreated' or 'MutexEvent' and parses the synchronization object name to identify this specific indicator.

Detects a sequence of PowerShell commands consistent with the VelvetCake reconnaissance module, including enumeration of antivirus software via SecurityCenter2, system information, IP configurations, running processes, recent files, and drive mapping within a short timeframe.

Detects high-volume filesystem activity (exceeding 300 operations in 5 minutes) initiated by 'claude-code' or 'claude' processes. This behavior may indicate an autonomous, patched, or jailbroken AI coding assistant performing mass file operations or reconnaissance without user confirmation.

This rule detects suspicious process injection activity directed at explorer.exe. It looks for cases where explorer.exe is initiated by a non-standard parent process and performs remote thread creation, thread context manipulation, or process image mapping, which are common techniques used by malware to hide execution within a legitimate system process.

Detects processes attempting to load ntdll.dll or utilizing DLLs in a manner that may indicate the use of indirect syscalls, a technique used by malware to bypass EDR/AV user-mode API hooking.

This rule detects potential PIVOTPIPE activity by correlating AMSI patching indicators with anomalous memory protection changes. It identifies processes that perform frequent transitions to PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE or PAGE_NOACCESS, which is indicative of memory-based obfuscation techniques used to evade memory scanning and detection during sleep cycles.

Detects PamStealer-style browser credential theft on macOS. The detection logic identifies the forced termination of browser helper processes using 'pkill' (which releases SQLite file locks) followed by the execution of a 'KcHelper' binary that uses specific environment markers (e.g., KC_PASS) to bypass keychain authorization prompts and steal stored browser credentials.

This rule detects non-browser processes initiating network connections to common file-sharing or cloud services (e.g., GitHub Gist, Telegram, Dropbox) followed by subsequent network activity from the same process within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of potential command and control (C2) communication, payload retrieval, or data staging/exfiltration using legitimate web services.
