29 detections

Detects antivirus alerts indicating the presence of exploitation frameworks or known offensive security tools. This rule emphasizes the importance of investigating such alerts, even if the malware is blocked, to understand the initial compromise vector.

This rule detects the execution of various Windows-based hacktools by matching their import hash (imphash). This method allows for detection even if the tool's filename has been changed. The rule includes imphashes for tools such as PetitPotam, JuicyPotato, RoguePotato, Pwdump, Cobalt Strike beacons, PPLDump, NanoDump, HandleKatz, DripLoader, UACMe, WCE, Sliver Stagers, Dumpert, SysmonEnte, SysmonQuiet, ShaprEvtMute Hook, Forkatz, PPLKiller, Backstab, Forensia, EDRSandBlast, and EDRSilencer.

The following analytic detects the creation of a Windows Service with a known suspicious or malicious name using Windows Event ID 7045. It leverages logs from the `wineventlog_system` to identify these services installations. This activity is significant as adversaries, including those deploying Clop ransomware, often create malicious services for lateral movement, remote code execution, persistence, and execution. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to maintain persistence, execute arbitrary code, and potentially escalate privileges, posing a severe threat to the environment.

The following analytic identifies instances where Notepad.exe is launched without any command line arguments, a behavior commonly associated with the SliverC2 framework. This detection leverages process creation events from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on processes initiated by Notepad.exe within a short time frame. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to inject malicious code into Notepad.exe, a known tactic for evading detection. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to system compromise and unauthorized access.

This rule detects highly relevant antivirus events in the Windows Application log by looking for specific keywords associated with known virus signatures, malware, and offensive security tools. It aims to identify instances where an antivirus product has detected or quarantined malicious software or activity.

This rule detects the execution of various known hacktools on Linux systems by monitoring process creation events and matching against a predefined list of tool names in the 'Image' field. The tools covered include C2 frameworks (e.g., Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, Havoc, Merlin, Sliver), network scanners (e.g., Nmap derivatives, Nuclei, Recon-ng), web enumeration tools (e.g., Dirb, Ffuf, Gobuster), web vulnerability scanners (e.g., Nikto, WPSCan), and other exploit/post-exploitation tools (e.g., Aircrack-ng, Bloodhound-Python, Hashcat, Hydra, John, SQLMap, PEASS-ng).
