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 creation or modification of Registry keys within 'Image File Execution Options' (IFEO) intended to associate a debugger with security-critical or monitoring binaries (e.g., Sysmon, Filebeat). This technique is used for defense evasion and persistence by intercepting or preventing the execution of security tools.

Detects instances where a process directly reads ntdll.dll from the disk (e.g., C:\Windows\System32). This behavior is a common technique used by malware to bypass EDR hooks by reading a clean copy of the DLL to restore original syscall stubs, commonly known as hook removal or unhooking. The rule excludes common system processes and trusted security software paths.

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 the creation of a process in a suspended state using the CREATE_SUSPENDED flag. This technique is commonly employed during process hollowing, process injection, or by legitimate security/debugging tools to prepare a process for memory modification before execution begins.

Detects command-line activity indicating an attempt to bypass or tamper with Anti-Malware Scan Interface (AMSI) functionality. The rule flags processes invoking GetProcAddress or LoadLibrary to resolve and manipulate AMSI-specific functions like AmsiScanBuffer or AmsiScanString within amsi.dll, a common technique for disabling runtime script scanning.

This rule detects attempts to disable or tamper with Microsoft Defender security features by monitoring for unauthorized modifications to specific registry keys (DisableAntiSpyware, DisableRealtimeMonitoring, or the WinDefend service start type) in conjunction with related process execution activity (e.g., PowerShell, cmd, reg, or MpCmdRun) that includes keywords associated with defender configuration changes.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender preferences by adding exclusion paths, processes, or extensions shortly after the creation of Registry Run keys. This sequence is characteristic of post-exploitation activity where an adversary establishes persistence and subsequently attempts to neutralize security software monitoring of their malicious payloads to avoid detection during future execution.

003
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.

002
Detects the ClosedQuorum 'unhook' evasion technique where a process patches ntdll's EtwEventWrite to suppress ETW telemetry, occurring within a 5-minute window of the same process initiating outbound network connections to known LLM C2 provider APIs or Discord webhooks used for AI-arbitrated decision cycles.

Detects a scenario where a single initiating process terminates multiple distinct processes within a short timeframe (5 minutes). This behavioral pattern is often associated with security tool tampering or EDR-evasion techniques where malicious code attempts to identify and terminate defensive security processes.

004
Detects execution of code using indirect syscalls or ntdll unhooking techniques, often associated with the PIVOTPIPE loader/RAT. The rule monitors for EDR indicators of evasion such as syscall stub execution, direct/indirect Nt* system call invocation, or call stacks originating outside of ntdll.dll, intended to bypass userland security hooks.

Detects attempts to modify AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) provider registry keys or tampering with the amsi.dll file. These actions are indicative of efforts to disable or blind security instrumentation, often as a precursor to or during malicious code execution.

Detects a suspicious sequence of activity involving persistence via Registry Run keys (specifically targeting SMQDService or winappx entries) followed by modifications to Microsoft Defender configuration (adding exclusions via PowerShell) within a two-hour window on the same device.

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 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.
