Detects instances where a non-SYSTEM process attempts to open a handle to winlogon.exe. Since winlogon.exe typically runs as SYSTEM and manages user sessions, unauthorized access to its process handle is often a precursor to credential dumping or token manipulation attacks aimed at escalating privileges to SYSTEM.

Detects instances where PowerShell or PowerShell ISE performs suspicious process injection activities, specifically targeting executables such as csc.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, or SearchIndexer.exe, or utilizes specific remote thread/memory allocation functions.

Detects instances of PowerShell executing process injection techniques (such as memory allocation and remote thread creation) targeting specific legitimate processes including csc.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, or SearchIndexer.exe. This activity is indicative of the StealC malware attempting to masquerade its malicious code execution within trusted system or browser processes.

This rule detects potentially malicious memory manipulation and thread execution activity originating from the ERAAgent.exe process. It specifically identifies when ERAAgent.exe calls VirtualProtect or VirtualAlloc to set memory as PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, followed shortly by a CreateThread or CreateRemoteThread operation. This behavior is indicative of process injection or reflective code loading, where an executable image is manually mapped into memory and executed, bypassing traditional file-based detection.

Detects ERAAgent.exe performing suspicious dynamic API resolution for functions commonly used by the SLEEPWALKER malware (VirtualProtect, SetSecurityDescriptorDacl, and CryptGenRandom). By resolving these functions at runtime via GetProcAddress rather than including them in the static import table, the malware attempts to evade detection and analysis.

Detects instances where 'TieringEngineService.exe' or 'MsMpEng.exe' (Windows Defender) create, modify, or rename executable, library, or system files within the 'C:\Windows\System32\' directory. This behavior is highly irregular as these processes should not be authoring binaries in protected system folders, and may indicate process masquerading, unauthorized persistence, or defense evasion.

Detects network connections from common Linux system binaries (agetty, atd, polkitd, crond) to identified suspicious external domains. These binaries typically do not communicate with external internet services, suggesting potential process masquerading or compromise.

Detects periodic screen capture activity performed by Node.js or Electron-based processes, correlated with subsequent outbound network connections to public IP addresses within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of the JSCeal malware's surveillance and exfiltration module, where local reconnaissance via screenshotting is followed by data transmission.

This rule detects potential attempts to tamper with or bypass Windows Defender by monitoring for files or processes named 'ShieldCrash' occurring in close temporal proximity to the creation or modification of files within Windows Defender's shadow or scan directories (BaseNamedObjects\Restricted\WD_SHADOW_ or WD_SCAN). This behavior is often associated with malware attempting to evade security detection.

Detects anomalous clipboard activity where content is repeatedly replaced by cryptocurrency wallet address patterns (Bitcoin or Ethereum) within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of clipboard hijacking (clipjacking), a technique used by malware like EggJagger to substitute legitimate payment addresses with attacker-controlled addresses.

This rule detects the process 'ShieldCrash.exe' accessing or interacting with the Windows ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) configuration directory. ELAM drivers are critical components for secure boot and early malware detection; unauthorized access or manipulation by unknown processes may indicate an attempt to tamper with security tools or evade endpoint protection.

Detects rapid deletion and creation cycles of the WD_SCAN object manager link, a behavioral pattern associated with a Time-of-Check-to-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) exploit chain targeting Windows Defender (referenced as CVE-2026-69414). The rule monitors for at least three cycle events occurring within a 5-second window, specifically involving the 'WD_SCAN' object identifier.

Detects processes registering a Vectored Exception Handler (VEH) while simultaneously performing memory write operations and thread context modifications. This behavior is highly indicative of advanced process injection techniques, such as using VEH as a redirection mechanism to execute raw syscalls or malicious shellcode within a target process.

Detects potential keylogging behavior by identifying a process masquerading as firefox.exe that is operating from an unauthorized directory while utilizing keyboard hooking (SetWindowsHookEx) or polling (GetAsyncKeyState) APIs, a technique consistent with the BabylonRAT malware.

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.
