Detects anomalous HTTP traffic directed to githubusercontent.com containing a custom, non-standard request header 'aohvcoehfg'. This pattern is associated with Kimsuky threat actor activity, specifically related to the 'GitPower' operation involving C2 communication via GitHub repositories.
Detects the execution of conhost.exe with the --headless flag, which is commonly observed in Kimsuky LNK-based malware campaigns to execute encoded cmd.exe payloads. This pattern involves the use of certutil or echo commands to deobfuscate and execute embedded scripts, often leveraging hidden windows or process hollowing techniques for persistence and evasion.
This rule detects network requests directed at raw.githubusercontent.com that attempt to retrieve 'init.dat' or files named with a specific GUID format, patterns which are characteristic of the Kimsuky threat group using GitHub as a dead drop resolver for C2 infrastructure discovery.
Detects the Microsoft HTML Help executable (hh.exe) spawning suspicious child processes such as command interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or scripting engines (mshta.exe, wscript.exe). This behavior is characteristic of initial access techniques used by the Kimsuky (APT43) threat group, where malicious CHM files are delivered via email attachments to execute payloads.
Detects HTTP traffic patterns associated with the VelvetCake malware used by North Korean threat actors Konni and Kimsuky. These signatures identify beaconing behavior to known free-hosting infrastructure, specifically monitoring for unique URL parameters ('OKey=', 'Who=', 'Areyou=cake') and common file naming conventions associated with the C2 communication.
Detects the creation or presence of Windows Shortcut (LNK) files that use deceptive double extensions (e.g., .pdf.lnk) and specific filenames related to South Korean financial reporting, a technique associated with the threat actor Kimsuky to entice users into executing malicious code.
Detects the use of reg.exe to query the MachineGuid value from the Windows Registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography). This behavior is often associated with adversary reconnaissance, specifically host fingerprinting, to uniquely identify compromised machines.
Detects the use of tasklist.exe combined with process filtering (findstr) to identify common debugger names such as 'dbg.exe', 'x64dbg.exe', 'windbg.exe', or 'ollydbg.exe'. This technique is a known evasion tactic employed by the Kimsuky threat group (and others) to check for the presence of analysis tools before continuing execution of malicious batch scripts.
Detects the creation, modification, or execution of known malicious files associated with the Kimsuky threat actor, based on a static list of MD5 hashes observed in their campaigns.
Detects files that contain a valid RTF file header but also contain signatures indicative of embedded non-RTF content such as PE executables, ZIP archives, or OLE objects. This technique is often used to masquerade malicious payloads as benign document files.
Detects the Kimsuky APT-C-55 'Stella_Gary' attack chain, where PowerShell is used to download a JavaScript verification script from an external C2 (InfinityFree), followed by the execution of that script via cscript.exe in temporary directories. This behavior is used to bypass anti-bot mechanisms and retrieve secondary payloads from hardcoded C2 infrastructure.
Detects known malicious files associated with Kimsuky (APT-C-55) Stella_Gary attack chain by MD5 hash: OrionQuests-Setup.exe installer, guide.url.lnk, test.bef_fri, and backdoor payload component
Detects known malicious files associated with Kimsuky (APT-C-55) Stella_Gary attack chain by MD5 hash: OrionQuests-Setup.exe installer, guide.url.lnk, test.bef_fri, and backdoor payload component
Detects the Stella_Gary .NET backdoor loader used by Kimsuky/APT-C-55, identified by managed-layer reflective assembly loading strings (loader.Program.Main, AssemblyResolve callback, Stella_Gary.Program.Main)
This rule detects network communication patterns indicative of the Kimsuky threat group using compromised WordPress sites hosted on wasmer.app for command and control (C2). It specifically looks for established HTTP requests to the .wasmer.app domain, targeting a specific WordPress uploads path and a unique token format in the URI string.
Detects HTTP GET requests associated with the Kimsuky threat actor, specifically targeting the retrieval of payloads like uni.txt or files matching the test.bef_fri pattern from the /unicorn/ directory.
Detects established network connections to a known Kimsuky-associated infrastructure (107.172.249.140) on port 443. The rule filters out standard TLS handshakes by inspecting initial packet content, targeting non-standard or custom-protocol traffic, and limits alerts to once per hour per source host to reduce noise.
Detects outbound HTTP requests to known Kimsuky command and control (C2) infrastructure associated with the Stella_Gary campaign. The rule monitors for specific URI patterns ('/unicorn/mort.php' or '/unicorn/uni.txt') commonly used by this threat actor for beaconing.
This rule identifies the Stella_Gary modular C# backdoor framework, which has been attributed to the Kimsuky (APT-C-55) threat group. The rule functions by detecting specific naming conventions within the binary and the presence of .NET assembly loading capabilities combined with plugin management functionality, characteristic of this modular malware family.
Detects HTTP beaconing activity associated with the Kimsuky threat group (Stella_Gary), specifically identifying requests to the /unicorn/ path. This pattern is characteristic of their C2 communication mechanism, which masquerades as legitimate browsing.
Detects the Kimsuky APT-C-55 'Stella_Gary' attack chain, where PowerShell is used to download a JavaScript verification script from an external C2 (InfinityFree), followed by the execution of that script via cscript.exe in temporary directories. This behavior is used to bypass anti-bot mechanisms and retrieve secondary payloads from hardcoded C2 infrastructure.
