Detects the use of 'findstr' or PowerShell to query sensitive configuration files (such as web.config or applicationHost.config) for credential-related keywords like 'connectionString', 'AccountKey', or 'machineKey'. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to harvest credentials or sensitive configuration data stored in cleartext on the filesystem.

Detects instances where a Microsoft IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) executes commands such as 'findstr', 'Get-Content', or 'Select-Xml' to scan configuration files (e.g., applicationHost.config, web.config) or source code files (e.g., App_Code/*.cs) for sensitive information like passwords, connection strings, or API keys. This behavior is indicative of credential harvesting by an attacker using a webshell or compromised IIS process.

Detects an suspicious progression of activities originating from identified AI assistant/agent processes. The rule monitors for a chain of behaviors occurring within a 15-minute window: execution of an AI agent/tool, followed by host discovery (network/system enumeration), access to sensitive local credential files, archival of data, and outbound network communication to common file-sharing/exfiltration platforms.

Detects a suspicious pattern where a user authenticates to a remote access portal (like Citrix or VPN) without multi-factor authentication (MFA) or with an existing risk flag, followed by a surge in file activity (creation, modification, or renaming of >500 files or >200 distinct files) on the same account within a 24-hour window, potentially indicating compromised credential usage for staging data for exfiltration or ransomware.

Detects access to sensitive browser credential and cookie files by processes that are not recognized web browsers or their designated update components. This behavior is highly indicative of credential theft activity where an adversary is attempting to extract stored credentials or session cookies from local browser storage.

This rule detects the suspicious archival of browser credential files (e.g., Login Data, Cookies, wallet.dat) or the transmission of data to common command-and-control (C2) services such as Telegram, Discord, or raw IP addresses using common system tools like PowerShell, curl, or certutil.

This rule detects typical behavior associated with infostealers targeting browser data, specifically the creation of compressed archives (.zip, .rar) in temporary directories (Temp or AppData) and the subsequent exfiltration of data via known webhook services (e.g., Discord, Telegram, Pastebin) or direct IP connections. It filters out common signed backup and synchronization software to minimize noise.

This rule detects potentially malicious behavior in package manager post-install scripts (npm, pip). It monitors for child processes like shells, network utilities (curl, wget), or command-line arguments indicative of credential harvesting (e.g., accessing .ssh, .aws/credentials, environment variables) initiated by package management processes.

Detects access or modification of files containing sensitive API tokens or keys (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) located within the /root/.hermes/loot/ directory. This activity is often associated with the staging of stolen credentials by automated malicious processes.

002
Detects instances where common scripting or development language runtimes (Go, Node.js, WScript, CScript) access sensitive configuration or credential files, such as AWS credentials, Kubernetes configs, SSH keys, or environment files. This activity is often indicative of credential harvesting or unauthorized access to sensitive secrets by potentially malicious scripts or processes.

103
Detects unauthorized file deletion activity performed directly by a Node.js process acting as a ChainScript RAT. The RAT uses a bundled node.exe process, operating within specific masquerading directories in the user profile, to execute file system operations such as recursive deletion without spawning child processes.

Detects unauthorized processes accessing sensitive credential storage files (e.g., 'Login Data', 'Cookies', 'Local State') from known Chromium-based browser profile directories. This activity is indicative of credential harvesting by infostealer malware attempting to exfiltrate browser data before performing decryption.

Detects potential insider threats or departing employees by correlating abnormal bulk data downloads from cloud repositories (SharePoint/OneDrive/Box/etc.) with subsequent sensitive data access and exfiltration signals. It uses baseline behavioral profiling, requires a threshold of sensitive file interactions, and mandates high-confidence exfiltration indicators (removable media usage, suspicious external domains, or multiple combined destination events) to reduce noise. Archive/staging activity is used as an optional confidence booster.

Detects attempts to bypass Vite development server file access restrictions by appending query parameters such as ?raw, ?import&raw, or ?import&url&inline to request paths for sensitive files like .env, cloud credentials, and terraform state files.

001
This rule detects potential browser-based credential and session theft by monitoring for a process that accesses multiple sensitive web browser artifacts (cookies, local state, session storage) across several user profiles in a short timeframe. It correlates this activity with the subsequent creation of a compressed archive in a temporary directory followed by an outbound network connection, indicating a multi-stage exfiltration workflow.

Detects a single process reading browser cookie SQLite database files across multiple distinct browser profile directories or different web browsers within a short time window. This behavior is indicative of infostealer activity attempting to harvest session cookies for session hijacking and MFA bypass.

Detects a suspected infostealer activity chain involving the unauthorized access of credential and session cookie files, followed by the archival of these files into a temporary or staging directory, and concluding with an outbound network connection to an uncommon destination from the archiving process.

This rule detects unauthorized processes attempting to read sensitive configuration files (secrets.json, config.yaml) associated with AI coding assistants like Cline and Continue. By filtering out known, legitimate IDE and development processes, the rule highlights potential file-grabber activity indicative of an infostealer attempting to exfiltrate plaintext LLM API keys.
