Detects the creation of suspicious scheduled tasks using the Windows schtasks.exe utility. The rule flags tasks that are configured to run as SYSTEM, include PowerShell encoded commands, or target directories commonly used for persistence such as Temp, AppData, or Public.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the task is configured to run in the security context of the SYSTEM account or executes suspicious binaries like PowerShell, mshta, or other living-off-the-land binaries. This behavior is indicative of potential persistence mechanisms employed by adversaries.
Detects the creation of suspicious scheduled tasks using the Windows schtasks.exe utility. The rule flags tasks that are configured to run as SYSTEM, include PowerShell encoded commands, or target directories commonly used for persistence such as Temp, AppData, or Public.
Detects the execution of 'LevelInstaller.exe' with specific installation arguments ('--action install --force --key') in conjunction with the presence of the 'level.exe' binary in its designated Program Files directory. The rule optionally identifies related scheduled task creation for 'Level Watchdog' and network activity associated with the 'level.io' domain or specific IP address.
Detects the creation or modification of scheduled tasks that exhibit suspicious characteristics, such as using common temporary directories, executing PowerShell with encoded commands, running tasks as SYSTEM, or using tasks that attempt to hide by using unusual naming conventions. These techniques are often used by adversaries to establish persistence or facilitate execution in a stealthy manner.
This rule detects the creation of Windows scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility or events generated when a task is registered. This technique is commonly used for persistence and execution by adversaries.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe that are configured to repeat every minute, specifically targeting known malicious or suspicious filenames such as 'MicrosoftUserInterfacePicturesUpdateTackMachine', 'userscreen.exe', or 'config.cat'. The rule monitors both process creation command lines and registry modifications within the Windows Task Scheduler tree.
This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.
This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using schtasks.exe or reg.exe that is configured to run at system logon (/sc onlogon) using potentially malicious or persistence-related filenames such as client32.exe or NSM789508.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using schtasks.exe or reg.exe that is configured to run at system logon (/sc onlogon) using potentially malicious or persistence-related filenames such as client32.exe or NSM789508.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using schtasks.exe or reg.exe that is configured to run at system logon (/sc onlogon) using potentially malicious or persistence-related filenames such as client32.exe or NSM789508.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe where the command line includes indicators associated with potential malicious binaries or tools. Monitoring for these specific filenames in task creation can identify persistence mechanisms or authorized task scheduling abuse.
Detects the creation of suspicious scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility. The rule flags tasks that are created from suspicious paths (e.g., Temp, ProgramData), tasks executing common script extensions (vbs, ps1, bat, hta, js), or tasks that masquerade as legitimate Windows or System update tasks.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the command line contains the specific strings 'MiniJunk' or 'MiniBrowse'. This pattern is often associated with the installation or persistence mechanisms of specific malicious software.
Detects creation of scheduled tasks followed by execution of pcalua.exe on the same endpoint. This combination was observed by Huntress during RedCurl intrusions and is uncommon in legitimate enterprise activity.
Detects the execution of schtasks.exe originating from Windows system management or package management server processes (ConfigurationRemotingServer.exe or WindowsPackageManagerServer.exe). This activity may indicate administrative task automation or potentially malicious persistence and execution attempts using legitimate system binaries.
