Detects a sequence of multiple process injection-related API calls (VirtualAlloc, WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread) initiated by a process. This rule monitors for patterns indicating cross-process memory manipulation which is commonly used to inject malicious code into other processes. It specifically looks for API calls interacting with kernel32.dll and filters out known Microsoft security products.

This rule detects thread creation activities where the thread start address is spoofed to point to 'user32.dll!AnimateWindow'. This behavior is a technique used by the MinHook library (specifically in SparroWocky-style implementations) to conceal the true entry point of a thread and evade detection during process injection or thread hijacking.

Detects reflective or beacon-style in-memory process injection where an injection-type action occurs in a target process, but no corresponding file creation event is recorded by the initiating process. This behavior is indicative of fileless malware loaders or reflective COFF-based execution, commonly used in adversary techniques like BOF (Beacon Object File) execution to bypass static disk-based security controls.

Detects PavokwiLoader behavior where a potentially malicious process spawns a browser or system process (e.g., smartscreen.exe) in a suspended state, followed by cross-process memory allocation and writing, and subsequent thread hijacking or execution resumption, indicating a process hollowing injection technique.

Detects the execution of processes or creation of events attempting to mimic Windows Security credential prompts. This pattern is characteristic of the TukTuk C2 framework's 'Cred Prompt' feature, designed to harvest user credentials by presenting a fake authentication dialog.

Detects unauthorized code injection attempts into web browser processes (chrome.exe, msedge.exe) by non-browser related processes. This behavior involves using APIs like CreateRemoteThread, NtAllocateVirtualMemory, or NtWriteVirtualMemory to modify memory and execute remote threads, which is a common technique used by information stealers such as LummaC2 to bypass browser security controls.

Detects a sequence of API calls (NtAllocateVirtualMemory, WriteProcessMemory, and CreateRemoteThread) targeting browser processes (chrome.exe, msedge.exe) from a non-browser process, consistent with shellcode injection patterns used by the Remus infostealer to bypass browser security features.

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 potential process injection attempts by unidentified executable files originating from suspicious directories (AppData or Temp) targeting critical system or service processes (e.g., explorer.exe, svchost.exe). The rule monitors CreateRemoteThread events and excludes signed dotnet host processes, characteristic of Hannibal Stealer behavior.

This rule detects instances where AutoIt (AutoIt3.exe) is observed performing process injection or launching suspicious binaries (RegSvcs.exe or mobsync.exe). Attackers frequently use AutoIt for process automation and to execute malicious payloads, and leveraging legitimate binaries like RegSvcs.exe is a known technique for bypassing defenses.

Detects instances where the suspicious binary 'x47_bot.exe' performs process injection or hollows a process, followed by an attempt to gain or elevate privileges (such as via UAC bypass, token manipulation, or privilege checking) on the same host within a 15-minute window.

Detects instances where msbuild.exe is spawned from suspicious parent processes without valid project files and subsequently receives cross-process injection activity (such as CreateRemoteThread or WriteProcessMemory) within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to use MSBuild to proxy malicious code execution.

Detects the execution of the C# compiler (csc.exe) initiated by PowerShell. This behavior is often indicative of in-memory compilation and execution of malicious code, bypassing traditional file-based detection.

Detects suspicious process injection attempts into browser processes (e.g., chrome.exe, msedge.exe) characterized by direct NT API syscall invocation (e.g., NtAllocateVirtualMemory, NtWriteVirtualMemory, NtCreateThreadEx) originating from a non-browser parent process. This behavior, often associated with the Remus infostealer, bypasses standard user-mode API hooking by using direct syscall stubs to chain injection actions.

Detects high-frequency calls to the VirtualProtect API where memory protections are changed to read/write (PAGE_READWRITE) or executable read/write (PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE). This behavior is often indicative of process injection techniques or self-modifying code associated with unpacking, loading shellcode, or tampering with process memory.

Detects instances where processes (excluding known legitimate .NET processes) load common .NET runtime modules (e.g., clr.dll, mscoree.dll) followed by remote process injection or handle-based process access, which is often indicative of reflective assembly loading used by loaders like PIVOTPIPE to execute malicious code within a target process.
