This rule detects the installation of VirtualBox drivers or the initiation of VirtualBox virtual machines. Adversaries, particularly ransomware groups like Ragnar Locker and Maze, have been observed using virtual instances to execute malicious operations, thereby evading detection by security tools on the host system. The rule specifically looks for command-line arguments related to VirtualBox driver components (VBoxRT.dll, VBoxC.dll, VBoxDrv.sys) or commands used to start/control virtual machines ('startvm', 'controlvm').

This rule detects PowerShell scripts that enumerate directories using `Get-ChildItem` and output the results to a file using `Out-File -append`. The detection logic specifically looks for the combination of `foreach`, `Get-ChildItem`, `-Path`, `-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue`, `Out-File`, and `-append` within the PowerShell script block text. This behavior has been associated with MAZE ransomware for directory discovery.

Detects specific process characteristics associated with Maze ransomware droppers. This includes a temporary file being executed as a child process of WINWORD.exe, and the execution of wmic.exe to delete shadow copies, which is a common tactic for ransomware to inhibit system recovery.
