Detects the execution of the encryptbase64.ps1 PowerShell script when invoked by a process other than PowerShell or PowerShell Core. This behavior is indicative of NeedyMantis malware attempting to evade detection by executing scripts outside standard script hosts.
Detects instances where a Python process spawns a command-line shell (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or bash) within 15 seconds of starting, while executing common reconnaissance or utility commands. This behavior is indicative of malicious code executing at import-time, a technique often associated with supply chain compromises in Python packages.
This rule detects potential persistence via Python environment variable manipulation (PYTHONPATH) followed by suspicious network activity from a child process of python.exe. It specifically looks for the modification of the PYTHONPATH environment variable using PowerShell on Windows or shell configuration files on Unix-like systems, followed by a python.exe-initiated network connection (like curl) to external domains, which may indicate the execution of a malicious sitecustomize.py hook.
This rule detects instances where Python package management processes (pip or python) perform build or installation tasks, immediately followed by an outbound network connection initiated by the same process tree to a non-PyPI domain. This behavior is indicative of a supply chain attack where a malicious package contains code (e.g., in setup.py) that beacons to an attacker-controlled server upon installation.
Detects the 'ClickFix' social engineering pattern where a user is tricked into opening a terminal (Windows Terminal, PowerShell, or PowerShell ISE) and pasting a command. The rule specifically alerts on commands originating from explorer.exe that invoke web download utilities to fetch .zip archives, which are commonly associated with the Lorem Ipsum Loader initial access infection chain.
Detects the execution of known Python scripts (CES_Enroll.py, ntlm_ces_relay.py, ces_negotiate_ntlm.py) often associated with NTLM relay attacks or forced authentication techniques. These scripts leverage Python to interact with authentication protocols or relay requests.
Detects anomalous execution of PowerShell commands spawned by processes identified as 'javaw.exe' or 'GlobalTellurSync.exe' (associated with DragonForce backdoor activity). The detection focuses on instances where these processes launch from non-standard user-writable directories (e.g., AppData, Temp) and execute PowerShell commands that contain obfuscated arguments or payloads, while excluding standard scheduled task invocations.
Detects anomalous execution of PowerShell commands spawned by processes identified as 'javaw.exe' or 'GlobalTellurSync.exe' (associated with DragonForce backdoor activity). The detection focuses on instances where these processes launch from non-standard user-writable directories (e.g., AppData, Temp) and execute PowerShell commands that contain obfuscated arguments or payloads, while excluding standard scheduled task invocations.
Detects suspicious child processes such as shell interpreters, download utilities, and base64-decoded commands spawned from core Citrix NetScaler processes (nsppe, httpd, aoacli, nscli). This pattern is often indicative of post-exploitation command execution following an exploitation of remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities.
Detects instances where explorer.exe (the Windows Shell) launches common scripting or command-line binaries with suspicious arguments often associated with 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks. These attacks involve tricking users into copying and pasting obfuscated PowerShell, mshta, or curl commands into the Windows Run dialog to execute malicious payloads.
Detects the installation sequence of the CosmicPulse (YESROBOT) backdoor, characterized by a registry value write under HKCU\Software\Classes\.mollis followed by the execution of a Python 3.8 bootstrapper from a non-standard, suspicious directory such as AppData, ProgramData, or Temp.
Detects instances where Microsoft Office applications or Windows Explorer (via LNK file execution) spawn suspicious child processes, such as script interpreters or known LOLBins, within a short timeframe. This is a common pattern for initial access via spearphishing attachments where a malicious document or shortcut executes a payload.
Detects suspicious command-line patterns originating from the Windows Explorer process (explorer.exe). This rule identifies the execution of various scripting engines or utilities like PowerShell, CMD, MSHTA, and WScript/CScript when they are used with potentially malicious flags or command-line arguments, including encoded commands, hidden window styles, web-download strings, or direct HTA/scripting invocations, which are common indicators of malicious activity following potential user execution.
Detects the 'ClickFix' technique where a user copies a malicious payload and pastes it into the Windows Run dialog (Win+R). The rule monitors for the creation of registry values under the RunMRU key followed closely by the execution of powershell.exe or cmd.exe initiated directly by explorer.exe, indicating an bypass of standard browser execution chains.
Detects potential abuse of Azure Cloud Shell backing storage (acsCloudShell) to stage or persist malicious scripts following an Azure AD session compromise. Adversaries may use this storage to blend in with legitimate engineering operations while maintaining persistent access to their tooling.
Detects instances where the Windows Terminal application (or related processes like OpenConsole) spawns suspicious command-line utilities such as PowerShell, CMD, curl, or certutil with indicators of potential download activity or command-line obfuscation. This pattern is often indicative of interactive adversary activity attempting to stage tools or execute payloads.
Detects periodic, beacon-like network activity targeting public platforms such as Steam community profiles or Telegram (api.telegram.org / t.me) originating from suspicious processes (script interpreters, unsigned binaries). This behavior is characteristic of LummaC2 and similar malware families using public web services as dead-drop resolvers for C2 fallback communication.
This rule detects the suspicious archival of browser credential files (e.g., Login Data, Cookies, wallet.dat) or the transmission of data to common command-and-control (C2) services such as Telegram, Discord, or raw IP addresses using common system tools like PowerShell, curl, or certutil.
Detects the Kothamine post-installation technique where npm/node spawns PowerShell to reflectively load a .NET assembly stager into memory. This behavior is followed by the PowerShell process spawning anomalous instances of RuntimeBroker.exe or svchost.exe. These spawned processes exhibit suspicious characteristics, such as executing from non-standard file paths, having missing command-line arguments (like the required '-k' for svchost), or having an illegitimate parent process (powershell.exe) instead of standard system parents like services.exe or wininit.exe.
Detects instances where common scripting engines like Python or Node.js are used to spawn command shells (CMD, PowerShell, or Bash) followed by the execution of suspicious commands commonly associated with reconnaissance, file exfiltration, or lateral movement.
This rule detects potentially malicious behavior in package manager post-install scripts (npm, pip). It monitors for child processes like shells, network utilities (curl, wget), or command-line arguments indicative of credential harvesting (e.g., accessing .ssh, .aws/credentials, environment variables) initiated by package management processes.
