This rule detects the creation of a service named 'WerFaultSvc' with EventID 7045 from the 'Service Control Manager' provider, which is associated with the Turla PNG dropper as reported by NCC Group in November 2018. This indicates potential persistence or privilege escalation by the Turla APT group.

Detects the creation or modification of Windows services in the registry that exhibit patterns commonly associated with Cobalt Strike beacons for persistence, privilege escalation, or lateral movement. Specifically, it looks for registry modifications to service control sets containing 'ADMIN$' and '.exe' or '%COMSPEC%', 'start', and 'powershell' in the service details, indicating a potential malicious service installation.

Detects suspicious modifications to a Windows service's Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) using 'sc.exe' to deny access to critical trustees. This technique can be used by adversaries to hide services, make them unstoppable, or achieve persistence and privilege escalation by preventing legitimate users or administrators from managing the service.

Detects the modification of an existing service's configuration (binpath or failure command) using 'sc.exe' or 'reg.exe' to execute an arbitrary payload. This is a common method for establishing persistence or escalating privileges by ensuring a malicious executable runs when the service starts or fails.

This rule detects the creation or modification of a Windows service where the service binary's path is located in a suspicious directory. Adversaries often place malicious service executables in non-standard or temporary locations to evade detection and establish persistence. The rule specifically looks for service image paths containing '\Users\Public\', '\Perflogs\', '\ADMIN$\' or '\Temp\'.

The analytic detects the creation of a Windows service named "Sliver" with the description "Sliver Implant," indicative of SliverC2 lateral movement using the PsExec module. It leverages Windows EventCode 7045 from the System Event log to identify this activity. This behavior is significant as it may indicate an adversary's attempt to establish persistence or execute commands remotely. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to maintain control over the compromised system, execute arbitrary code, and further infiltrate the network.

The following analytic detects the creation of a Windows Service with a binary path located in uncommon directories, using Windows Event ID 7045. It leverages logs from the `wineventlog_system` to identify services installed outside typical system directories. This activity is significant as adversaries, including those deploying Clop ransomware, often create malicious services for lateral movement, remote code execution, persistence, and execution. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to maintain persistence, execute arbitrary code, and potentially escalate privileges, posing a severe threat to the environment.

The analytic detects the creation or enabling of services on Linux platforms using the `systemctl` or `service` tools. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) logs, focusing on process names, parent processes, and command-line executions. This activity is significant as adversaries may create or modify services to maintain persistence or execute malicious payloads. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to persistent access, data theft, ransomware deployment, or other damaging outcomes. Monitoring and investigating such activities are crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of the environment.

Detects PDQDeploy service installation on the target system.
When a package is deployed via PDQDeploy it installs a remote service on the target machine with the name "PDQDeployRunner-X" where "X" is an integer starting from 1
