The ZoneMap key under Internet Settings is used to define security zones for specific domains. By setting a value under ZoneMap\Domains, you are configuring how Windows handles security and permissions for that domain so it is really helpful to identify if some site has been added via cli manually or by some malicious script to whitelist some domains and bypass some defense.

The analytic detects the modification of the Windows Registry key "LoadMacroProviderOnBoot" under Outlook. This enables automatic loading of macros, which could allow malicious scripts to run without notice. This detection leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel to search for this key being enabled. This activity is significant as it is commonly associated with some malware infections, indicating potential malicious intent to harvest email information.

The analytic detects the modification of the Windows Registry key "PONT_STRING" under Outlook Options. This disables certain dialog popups, which could allow malicious scripts to run without notice. This detection leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel to search for this key changing from an unusual process. This activity is significant as it is commonly associated with some malware infections, indicating potential malicious intent to harvest email information.

This detection identifies attempts to disable Microsoft Defender Antivirus or bypass its protection mechanisms such as Tamper Protection or Real-Time Protection.

It leverages signals from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (via DeviceEvents) as well as Windows Security Events (e.g., Event ID 5001 and 5004), which are triggered when antivirus services are modified or stopped.

Such behavior is commonly associated with defense evasion techniques used by threat actors or unauthorized administrative actions and should be investigated immediately.

This detection identifies suspicious DLL loads by SpeechRuntime.exe from outside the expected system directories. SpeechRuntime is vulnerable to a COM hijacking attack that allows an attacker to execute code remotely and stealthily by exploiting a Windows COM class. By altering the registry to point to a malicious DLL and then triggering the COM object, the attacker can cause the malicious DLL to load into SpeechRuntime.exe and execute in the user's context.

Detects a Component Object Model (COM) TypeLib hijacking persistence technique. This rule identifies modifications to the registry for the 'Microsoft Web Browser' CLSID, where it is altered to point to a malicious scriptlet (.sct) file. This specific method was used by the MixShell malware in the ZipLine campaign to maintain access.

The analytic identifies the deletion or modification of registry keys that disable Local Security Authority (LSA) protection and Microsoft Defender Device Guard. This activity is significant because disabling these defenses can leave a system vulnerable to various attacks, including credential theft and unauthorized code execution. If confirmed malicious, this action could allow attackers to bypass critical security mechanisms, leading to potential system compromise and persistent access.

This rule detects activities associated with the RomCom threat group, including exploitation of CVE-2025-8088 (WinRAR path traversal), COM hijacking for persistence, anti-analysis techniques (RecentDocs check), C2 communication, and suspicious WMIC execution, potentially linked to a Mythic agent.

Detects the simultaneous modification of 'msDS-ManagedAccountPrecededByLink' and 'msDS-DelegatedMSAState' attributes on a delegated Managed Service Account (dMSA) object. This activity is a strong indicator of the BadSuccessor privilege escalation technique, where an attacker simulates a dMSA migration to impersonate a target account.

Detects anomalous system behavior that could indicate sophisticated threats deviating from normal activity. This includes unusual process-parent relationships, unexpected network connections from scripting engines, and attempts to modify registry keys related to AMSI or ETW configuration.

This query detects multiple behaviors associated with the ApolloShadow malware, used by the Secret Blizzard threat actor. It looks for the creation of a specific administrator account, installation of root certificates using certutil, modification of Firefox settings to trust new certificates, and changes to network profiles to relax firewall rules.

This analytic detects when a known remote access software is added to common persistence locations on a device within the environment. Adversaries use these utilities to retain remote access capabilities to the environment. The detection specifically looks for modifications to the 'Run' registry keys or 'ImagePath' values within service registry keys, which are common methods for establishing persistence. The rule leverages a lookup table containing known remote access tools such as AnyDesk, GoToMyPC, LogMeIn, and TeamViewer.

The following analytic detects the creation of registry artifacts when an ISO container is opened, clicked, or mounted on a Windows operating system. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, specifically monitoring registry keys related to recent ISO or IMG file executions. This activity is significant as adversaries increasingly use container-based phishing campaigns to bypass macro-based document execution controls. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could indicate an initial access attempt, potentially leading to further exploitation, persistence, or data exfiltration within the environment.

This analytic detects the presence of a registry key associated with the Remcos RAT agent on a host. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, focusing on instances where the "Software\Remcos" path is found. This behavior indicates potential compromise by the Remcos RAT, a remote access Trojan used for unauthorized access and data exfiltration. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could gain control over the system, steal sensitive information, or use the compromised host for further attacks. Immediate investigation and remediation are required.

This rule detects attempts to flush Shimcache using rundll32.exe, which can indicate anti-forensic activity or defense evasion by an attacker. The detection logic specifically looks for command-line arguments associated with flushing the Shimcache, including function names like "ShimFlushCache" or "BaseFlushAppcompatCache", and also checks for ordinal values combined with specific DLLs like "apphelp.dll" or "kernel32.dll".
