1,080 detections

The detection targets these behaviours:
- Attempts to take ownership of or replace explorer.exe and gpedit.msc.
- Changes to Microsoft Edge's Image File Execution Options (IFEO) debugger.
- Changes to HTTP, HTTPS, HTML, and Microsoft Edge protocol handlers.
- Disabling Explorer's Run command and changing keyboard scancode mappings.
- Creation of temporary VBScript files used for relaunching, elevation prompts, or deceptive messages

Detects potential defense evasion activity where Windows Defender configurations are modified or disabled, followed closely within 20 minutes by a silent, quiet, or unattended software uninstallation initiated by a script interpreter or command processor on the same device.

Detects a sequence of events indicative of Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks or security control impairment. It monitors for the loading of a rare driver (seen on 3 or fewer hosts), accompanied by either the creation of a kernel service or defense tampering activities such as disabling security monitoring or stopping security-related services.

The following analytic detects a process enabling the "SeDebugPrivilege" privilege token. It leverages Windows Security Event Logs with EventCode 4703, filtering out common legitimate processes. This activity is significant because SeDebugPrivilege allows a process to inspect and modify the memory of other processes, potentially leading to credential dumping or code injection. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain extensive control over system processes, enabling them to escalate privileges, persist in the environment, or access sensitive information.

The following analytic detects changes in the ScManager service security descriptor settings. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, specifically searching for any process execution involving the "sc.exe" binary with the "sdset" flag targeting the "scmanager" service. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to escalate their privileges.

The following analytic detects the use of `dism.exe` to remove Windows Defender. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions that include specific parameters for disabling and removing Windows Defender. This activity is significant because adversaries may disable Defender to evade detection and carry out further malicious actions undetected. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to the attacker gaining persistent access, executing additional payloads, or exfiltrating sensitive data without being intercepted by Windows Defender.

The following analytic detects attempts to stop security-related services on an endpoint, which may indicate malicious activity. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, specifically searching for processes involving the "sc.exe" or "net.exe" command with the "stop" parameter or the PowerShell "Stop-Service" cmdlet. This activity is significant because disabling security services can undermine the organization's security posture, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further attacks like malware installation or privilege escalation. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could compromise the endpoint and the entire network, necessitating immediate investigation and response.

The following analytic detects the use of `fltMC.exe` to unload the Sysmon driver, which stops Sysmon from collecting data. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) logs, focusing on process names and command-line executions. This activity is significant because disabling Sysmon can blind security monitoring, allowing malicious actions to go undetected. If confirmed malicious, this could enable attackers to execute further attacks without being logged, leading to potential data breaches, privilege escalation, or persistent access within the environment.

The following analytic identifies a Windows command interpreter process being executed where it's process name does not match it's original file name attribute.
Processes that have been renamed and executed may be an indicator that an adversary is attempting to evade defenses or execute malicious code.

Detects command-line activity indicative of attempts to dump LSASS memory after performing in-memory unhooking or bypassing of security monitoring DLLs (ntdll.dll, amsi.dll, win32kbase.sys). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries attempting to harvest credentials while evading EDR/AV visibility.

Detects the loading of an unsigned or untrusted kernel driver followed by the termination of known security (AV/EDR) processes within a 10-minute window. This behavioral pattern is indicative of 'Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver' (BYOVD) exploitation often used by ransomware actors to bypass endpoint security controls.

Detects command-line activity attempting to disable, unbind, or remove NetScaler AppFW (Web Application Firewall) profiles, signatures, or security policies. This activity is indicative of defense evasion following the exploitation of CVE-2026-88771 or CVE-2026-88772 to suppress security alerting on follow-on malicious activity.

Detects the abuse of WerFaultSecure.exe or similar Windows Error Reporting processes, invoked with debugging or dumping flags against security/EDR process names, or spawned by unexpected parent processes. This technique is often used to freeze security tools (EDR-Freeze) by exploiting process suspension via mini-dump handles.

This rule detects attempts by an attacker to disable or modify Windows security software and features. It monitors for three distinct behaviors: execution of 'Set-MpPreference' to modify Windows Defender settings (exclusions or real-time monitoring), execution of 'sc.exe' to stop security-related services (such as EDR or AV services), and direct modification of Windows registry keys to disable Windows Defender components.

009
Detects suspicious process-injection related API calls (such as CreateRemoteThread, VirtualAllocEx, and WriteProcessMemory) where the source or target process is a common AI agent runtime environment (e.g., python.exe, node.exe, java.exe, dotnet.exe). This detects potential malicious code execution or reflective loading initiated by or targeting these runtime processes.
