Detects instances where a process writes to known persistence locations, including Windows Registry Run keys, the Windows Startup folder, Linux shell profile configuration files (.bashrc/.bash_profile), and system-level task directories (cron and systemd units). This activity is often indicative of malicious persistence mechanisms, such as those used by compromised AI agents or backdoors to survive system reboots.
Detects persistence mechanisms associated with the MATCHBOIL campaign, identifying instances where a registry run key and a scheduled task pointing to an application data (%LOCALAPPDATA%) path are created by the same process within a short window, or where known specific scheduled task names and run value names are observed.

The following analytic detects the creation of scheduled tasks designed to execute commands using native Windows shells like PowerShell, Cmd, Wscript, or Cscript or from public folders such as Users, Temp, or ProgramData. It leverages Windows Security EventCode 4698, 4700, and 4702 to identify when such tasks are registered, enabled, or modified. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to establish persistence or execute malicious commands on a system. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to maintain access, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges, posing a severe threat to the environment.
The following analytic detects the creation, modification, or enabling of scheduled tasks with known suspicious or malicious task names. It leverages Windows Security EventCode 4698, 4700, and 4702 to identify when such tasks are registered, modified, or enabled. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to establish persistence or execute malicious commands on a system. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to maintain access, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges, posing a severe threat to the environment.
This rule detects instances of 'javaw.exe' executing from unusual directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, Users\Public) while loading a 'jli.dll' file from a related non-standard path, or simultaneously being associated with a scheduled task execution involving 'GlobalTellurSync'. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading or a persistence mechanism where a legitimate Java executable is repurposed to run malicious code.
This rule detects instances of 'javaw.exe' executing from unusual directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, Users\Public) while loading a 'jli.dll' file from a related non-standard path, or simultaneously being associated with a scheduled task execution involving 'GlobalTellurSync'. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading or a persistence mechanism where a legitimate Java executable is repurposed to run malicious code.
Detects the creation of suspicious scheduled tasks using the Windows schtasks.exe utility. The rule flags tasks that are configured to run as SYSTEM, include PowerShell encoded commands, or target directories commonly used for persistence such as Temp, AppData, or Public.
Detects the establishment of persistence on a Windows host by monitoring both Registry Run/RunOnce key modifications and Scheduled Task creation. The rule specifically looks for command lines or registry values that reference common Windows binary names (e.g., Microsoft Edge/Teams update helpers, LockScreenContentServer) which are frequently used by adversaries for masquerading.
This rule detects potential persistence mechanisms associated with the GlobalProtect VPN application where the binary is unsigned. It specifically monitors for unauthorized 'RunOnce' registry entries, the creation of suspicious scheduled tasks, or updates to scheduled tasks involving 'GlobalProtect.exe'. These actions are initiated by either 'msiexec.exe' or 'GlobalProtect.exe', suggesting a possible attempt to masquerade malicious activity as a legitimate VPN update or installation process.
This rule detects suspicious persistence activity involving known tools or names that are often masqueraded. It looks for the creation of registry run keys or scheduled tasks using names associated with common tools ('Canon Configuration Reader', 'Stardock DeElevation Tool') when the initiating process is not located in the expected vendor-authorized directories. The rule specifically alerts on devices exhibiting these behaviors within a short time window.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks (Windows), cron jobs (Linux), or systemd timers where the initiating process is a common scripting or runtime interpreter (e.g., Python, Node.js, PowerShell, Java). This activity is often indicative of persistence mechanisms being established by a compromised agent or script-based process.
Detects the creation of persistence mechanisms through both Registry Run keys and Scheduled Tasks within a one-hour window, specifically targeting names indicative of masquerading as legitimate update or helper components.
This rule detects potential persistence via scheduled tasks that masquerade as legitimate network components (e.g., 'System Health Monitor'), as well as abnormal use of WebDav via rundll32.exe or net.exe in the context of the Star Blizzard (COLDRIVER) campaign. It monitors for task creation/updates, schtasks command lines, registry artifacts related to task scheduling, and suspicious WebDav network utility usage, while excluding common security tool processes.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe or Event ID 4698 that involve scripting interpreters (powershell, wscript, mshta, cmd) and suspicious command line arguments often associated with malicious activity, such as encoded commands, hidden windows, or network resource access, specifically when executing under the SYSTEM account context.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks (Windows), cron jobs (Linux), or systemd timers where the initiating process is a common scripting or runtime interpreter (e.g., Python, Node.js, PowerShell, Java). This activity is often indicative of persistence mechanisms being established by a compromised agent or script-based process.

Detects the creation or modification of scheduled tasks (crontab entries) initiated by processes commonly associated with Citrix NetScaler ADC/Gateway appliances (nsppe, httpd, nscollect). This behavior is often indicative of persistence mechanisms used by attackers following an initial exploit on an edge network device.
