One common technique leveraged by attackers is using archiving applications to package up files for exfiltration. In many cases, these archives are usually protected with a password to make analysis more difficult. This query identifies applications which leverage a command line pattern which matches the 7zip and WinRAR command line executables to create or update an archive when a password is specified. By detecting based on the command line we can avert attempts to dodge detection by renaming the application.

This query can be used to explore any instances where a terminated individual (i.e. one who has an impending termination date but has not left the company) downloads a large number of files from a non-Domain network address.
This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, ironSource PUA & unwanted apps impact millions.
IronSource provides software bundling tools for many popular legitimate apps, such as FileZilla. However, some of ironSource's bundling tools are considered PUA, because they exhibit potentially unwanted behavior. One component of these tools, detected by Microsoft as Prifou, silently transmits system information from the user. It also installs an outdated version of Chromium browser with various browser extensions, resets the user's home page, changes their search engine settings, and forces Chromium and itself to launch at startup.
The following query can be used to locate unique command-line strings used by ironSource bundlers to launch Prifou, as well as commands used by Prifou to install Chromium.

This query can be used to detect instances of a malicious insider creating a file archive and then emailing that archive to an external "competitor" organization.
