This rule detects multiple executions of 'netsh firewall' commands within a one-hour window on a single computer. This activity can indicate an adversary attempting to modify or disable system firewalls to bypass security controls, enable C2 communications, or facilitate lateral movement.
Detects the use of the 'netsh trace' command to initiate network packet capture, executed via cmd.exe or powershell.exe. This activity is a known technique used by The Gentlemen RaaS group to perform credential harvesting from unencrypted internal network traffic by saving packet capture files to administrative shares.
Detects the use of the netsh.exe utility to modify Windows Advanced Firewall settings, specifically disabling profiles or adding/deleting firewall rules. This activity is often used by adversaries to impair security controls on a compromised host.
Detects the use of the 'netsh interface portproxy' command to set up a port forwarding rule where the connection address is outside of common private IP ranges. This behavior is frequently associated with attackers establishing persistent network pivots or internal proxies to redirect C2 traffic.
Detects the use of living-off-the-land tools like plink.exe, netsh.exe, and ssh.exe to create tunnels that forward RDP traffic (port 3389). This behavior is often indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass network controls or hide RDP sessions by tunneling them through other protocols or non-standard port configurations.
Detects the use of native Windows binaries 'netsh.exe' to establish port proxies or 'pktmon.exe' for network packet monitoring/filtering by processes that are not signed by Microsoft. This behavior is indicative of network tunneling or C2 communication techniques used by actors such as Volt Typhoon to maintain persistence and establish network pivots.

Detects the use of the 'netsh interface portproxy' command to set up a port forwarding rule where the connection address is outside of common private IP ranges. This behavior is frequently associated with attackers establishing persistent network pivots or internal proxies to redirect C2 traffic.
Detects attempts to disable the Windows Firewall using the netsh command-line utility or PowerShell cmdlets, as well as registry modifications related to firewall profiles. Adversaries often perform this action to impair host-based security controls and facilitate unauthorized inbound or outbound network traffic.

Detects the creation of an inbound allow firewall rule by 'netsh' or 'powershell' when launched from a user-writable location (e.g., Temp, AppData, ProgramData, Users\Public). This rule aims to identify potentially malicious activity where an attacker might be establishing persistence or enabling command and control communication by modifying host firewall settings.
Detects the creation of an inbound allow firewall rule by 'netsh' or 'powershell' when launched from a user-writable location (e.g., Temp, AppData, ProgramData, Users\Public). This rule aims to identify potentially malicious activity where an attacker might be establishing persistence or enabling command and control communication by modifying host firewall settings.
This rule detects the creation of an inbound firewall allow rule by `netsh` or `powershell` when the initiating process (actor) is launched from a user-writable location such as `temp`, `appdata`, `programdata`, or `users\public`. This behavior can indicate malicious activity where an adversary attempts to establish network access or persistence by modifying firewall settings from an unusual or untrusted execution path.
Detects registration of malicious DLL as Netsh helper for persistence
Detects enumeration of Wi-Fi networks and saved profiles
This rule detects multiple executions of 'netsh firewall' commands within a one-hour window on a single computer. This activity can indicate an adversary attempting to modify or disable system firewalls to bypass security controls, enable C2 communications, or facilitate lateral movement.
Detects netsh commands that turns off the Windows firewall
Detects living-off-the-land (LotL) activity associated with Volt Typhoon, specifically the use of 'netsh.exe' to configure port forwarding (portproxy), which is used for lateral movement and C2 tunneling.
