Detects the execution of attrib.exe spawned by known Sauron Loader process names (rnpkeys.exe, rnp.exe, or tdwp.exe). The rule flags instances where attrib.exe is executed without its typical command-line arguments (file attribute flags), suggesting it is being used as a surrogate process for injected C2-tasked shellcode.

Detects a potential process hollowing technique where 'Finalized.dll' (loaded from unconventional locations like a ComponentsFolder or System32) is used to spawn 'clspack.exe' in a suspended state from a non-standard path (e.g., AppData\Microsoft). This sequence indicates an attempt to mask malicious execution under a legitimate process name.

Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender by either executing known Defender Control utilities or by modifying registry keys associated with the disabling of anti-spyware features or the WinDefend service startup.

Detects a specific privilege escalation and code execution chain attributed to the PUROSANGUE methodology. This activity involves using a COM Elevation Moniker (specifically with the 'Elevation:Administrator!new:' syntax) to bypass UAC, followed by process hollowing into ServiceModelReg.exe. The attack is initiated from unconventional parent processes such as vsdbg.exe or its associated DLL.

Detects rapid deletion of Windows Defender or WdFilter service registry keys by non-standard processes (not System or ntoskrnl.exe). This pattern is consistent with kernel-mode tamper protection bypass attempts, such as the use of the BTR.sys driver to force the removal of defensive configuration entries, effectively disabling Windows Defender.

Detects evidence of potential adversarial interference with Windows Defender updates and MRT.exe (Malicious Software Removal Tool). The rule correlates high volumes of temporary file creation in user directories with unauthorized access to MRT.exe by third-party processes and repeated Windows Defender update failures, indicating a potential attempt to disrupt endpoint security operations.

Detects memory allocation (VirtualAlloc/AllocateVirtualMemory) or protection (VirtualProtect/ProtectVirtualMemory) API calls performed with 'EXECUTE_READWRITE' permissions where the call stack is missing, unbacked, or contains unknown modules. This behavior is highly indicative of code injection techniques where an adversary attempts to execute shellcode or reflectively load a payload into memory while attempting to hide the origin of the execution.

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.

004
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.

This rule detects malicious activity associated with the Bazinga macOS backdoor, specifically focusing on the clearing of TCC privacy permissions, the staging of keychain and browser data using 'ditto', and the subsequent exfiltration of this data to a remote host via 'curl'.

Detects the loading or file presence of the malicious kernel driver 'Alinubx.sys' (formerly 'CcProtect.sys'), which is utilized by attackers for Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks to terminate security software processes from kernel mode.

Detects the loading or installation of a driver file identified as DCRCVDrv.sys followed within 5 minutes by EDR sensor heartbeat loss or process activity, which is characteristic of attempts to tamper with security software or hide malicious activity via a kernel-mode driver.

Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender features via PowerShell, terminate critical security services using administrative tools like sc.exe or net.exe, or inject/patch AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) within a process context to evade detection.

Detects the loading of known-vulnerable signed drivers typically associated with 'Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver' (BYOVD) attacks. These drivers are frequently abused to gain kernel-mode privileges, allowing attackers to disable or terminate EDR, antivirus, and other security processes.

Detects suspicious cross-process access patterns targeting trusted system processes (svchost.exe, explorer.exe, notepad.exe) by utilizing broad process access rights (such as PROCESS_VM_WRITE and PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD). This behavior is characteristic of process injection techniques like process hollowing, often employed by loaders and malware to execute code within the context of a legitimate process.

Detects parent process ID (PPID) spoofing associated with RMMCRAT and other HVNC malware, where an injected process (e.g., smartscreen.exe) spawns child processes while spoofing explorer.exe as the parent. The rule monitors for a mismatch between the reported parent (explorer.exe) and the actual creator (smartscreen.exe) and focuses on burst activity of common shell and browser processes.

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.
