Detects the creation of a named object with the specific name 'MakeAmericaGreatAgain'. This string has been associated with various malware and potentially unwanted programs, often used as a mutex or other synchronization object to ensure only one instance of the malicious process is running.

Detects modifications to the Image File Execution Options (IFEO) or SilentProcessExit registry keys, which can be abused for persistence, privilege escalation, or defense evasion. Adversaries may use these mechanisms to attach debuggers or monitor programs to legitimate executables, causing malicious code to run when the target application starts or exits.

This rule detects unexpected modifications to Notepad++ updater settings in the Windows Registry. Specifically, it looks for instances where the 'updater' registry value under 'Notepad++\Settings' is set to '1' or 'true', indicating that automatic updates are enabled or forced. This could be an indicator of compromise if Notepad++ is not expected to update automatically or if the modification occurs outside of normal update cycles, potentially by an attacker attempting to maintain persistence or introduce malicious updates.

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell commands that are written to the Windows registry. It specifically looks for registry events where the 'Details' field contains keywords indicative of PowerShell execution ('powershell', 'pwsh') combined with suspicious command elements. These suspicious elements include obfuscation flags or download capabilities such as 'iex', 'Invoke-Expression', 'DownloadString', 'DownloadFile', 'Net.WebClient', 'FromBase64String', '-w hidden', '-windowstyle hidden', '-ep bypass', '-executionpolicy bypass', '-enc ', and '-encodedcommand'. The presence of such commands in the registry may indicate a persistence mechanism, a configuration backdoor, or automated malware execution.

Detects indicators of compromise related to trojanized ScreenConnect installers and abuse of ScreenConnect C2 configuration. This rule identifies suspicious process executions of ScreenConnect components, known malicious hashes associated with ScreenConnect malware, ScreenConnect processes launched by installer executables (msiexec), network connections to ScreenConnect relay domains, DNS resolutions for ScreenConnect relays, modifications to 'system.config' files within ScreenConnect directories indicative of C2 configuration, and malicious registry artifacts related to ScreenConnect installation.

Detects modification of eScan antivirus database-related registry values, such as setting WTBases_new to an abnormal value (e.g., 999) under the ODS registry key. This behavior may prevent signature updates or force the antivirus engine into an inconsistent state.

Detects when a suspicious process (such as a script interpreter or LOLBIN) is executed from a directory configured as a Microsoft Office Trusted Location. Attackers may place malicious executables or scripts in these locations to bypass security controls and execute them, often as a result of a user opening a malicious document.

Detects when a potentially malicious file (such as a macro-enabled document, executable, or script) is created within a directory configured as a Microsoft Office Trusted Location. Attackers may place malicious files in these locations to ensure they are opened by the user without security warnings (like Protected View or macro-blocking), facilitating code execution. This rule correlates file creation events with trusted paths dynamically enumerated from the device's registry.

Detects modification of the eScan for Windows MwMonitor registry key to add critical system directories (C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86)) to antivirus exceptions. This behavior significantly weakens endpoint protection and may indicate malicious tampering or supply-chain abuse.

Detects storage of a PowerShell-based persistent payload in the Windows registry under a non-standard GUID-based key using the Corel value. This technique is used by the final stage of the eScan supply-chain attack to establish stealthy persistence after environment validation.

Detects a specific COM hijacking technique used by the ForumTroll APT group for persistence. This rule identifies registry modifications to the CLSID {1f486a52-3cb1-48fd-8f50-b8dc300d9f9d}, which the group has reused across campaigns.

This rule detects instances where 'regedit.exe' is launched by a parent process that is not commonly associated with its execution. It specifically filters out common legitimate parent processes like 'explorer.exe', 'msiexec.exe', and 'cmd.exe', and also excludes parent processes originating from standard Windows and Program Files directories. This helps to identify suspicious or unauthorized attempts to modify the Windows Registry.

Detects suspicious behavior where a Node.js-based application, potentially EvilAi malware, launches cmd.exe to query MachineGuid from the registry or system model via PowerShell. This activity indicates potential fingerprinting or persistence activity, often originating from the \AppData\Local\Programs\ directory with medium integrity.

Detects modifications to DNS records in Active Directory where the Distinguished Name (DN) contains a base64-encoded blob
matching the pattern "1UWhRCAAAAA...BAAAA". This pattern corresponds to a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure,
commonly used in Kerberos coercion attacks. Adversaries may exploit this to coerce victim systems into authenticating to
attacker-controlled hosts by spoofing SPNs via DNS. It is one of the strong indicators of a Kerberos coercion attack,.
where adversaries manipulate DNS records to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests like CVE-2025-33073.
Please investigate the user account that made the changes, as it is likely a low-privileged account that has been compromised.
