This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Ryuk ransomware. There is also a related blog.
Ryuk is human-operated ransomware. Much like DoppelPaymer ransomware, Ryuk is spread manually, often on networks that are already infected with Trickbot.
Ryuk operators use PsExec to manually spread the ransomware to other devices.
The following query detects remote file creation events that might indicate an active attack.
The See also section below lists links to other queries associated with Ryuk ransomware.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Cypherpunk ransomware leaves wake of tampered AVs.
Cypherpunk is a human-operated ransomware campaign named after the unusual .cypherpunk extension given to encrypted files.
The query below surfaces commands that follow the distinctive pattern Cypherpunk operators would use to remotely execute code.

PsExec Service Start
Sigma
Detects a PsExec service start
Detects the use of NSudo tool for command execution
Detects creation of the PSEXEC key file. Which is created anytime a PsExec command is executed. It gets written to the file system and will be recorded in the USN Journal on the target system
Detects PsExec default pipe creation where the image executed is located in a suspicious location. Which could indicate that the tool is being used in an attack
Detects the use of the RunXCmd tool to execute commands with System or TrustedInstaller accounts
Detects the use of NirCmd tool for command execution, which could be the result of legitimate administrative activity
Detects installation or execution of services
Detects PsExec service installation and execution events
Detects the use of NirCmd tool for command execution as SYSTEM user
Detects the use of the RunXCmd tool to execute commands with System or TrustedInstaller accounts
Detects the use of NSudo tool for command execution
Detects default PsExec service filename which indicates PsExec service installation and execution
Detects default RemCom service filename which indicates RemCom service installation and execution
Prior to deploying Macaw ransomware in an organization, adversaries wil use Attrib to display file attribute information on multiple drives and all subfolders.
This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Cypherpunk ransomware leaves wake of tampered AVs.
Cypherpunk is a human-operated ransomware campaign named after the unusual .cypherpunk extension given to encrypted files. The attackers often used PSEXESVC, a service that helps the PsExe.exe utility run commands on a remote device. Both PSEXESVC and PsExe.exe are legitimate parts of Windows; however, they can be repurposed by attackers to perform malicious actions.
The query below can find instances of PSEXESVC being used to launch batch files, as often occurred in Cypherpunk attacks.
