This detection looks at users attempting to download files from the internet using powershell / cmd commands. It measures the number of commands against a baseline set over the past 14days and if a user has performed an unusual amount of commands (also more than 5) then an alert will be created. This will detect when an attacker has compromised a user and is now attempting to download payloads from the internet or a C2.

Detects activity related to the PromptLock ransomware, which leverages the Ollama AI API and is written in Go. This rule looks for network connections to the Ollama service (port 11434) and related process executions, specifically identifying processes like go.exe, curl.exe, wget.exe, python.exe, powershell.exe making connections or processes with 'ollama' in their command line.

Detects the execution of a suspicious PowerShell dropper script, often initiated by a user clicking a malicious file (e.g., LNK). This pattern is common in phishing campaigns, including those by groups like Kimsuky. The detection looks for PowerShell commands that use common evasion techniques (like hidden windows or bypassing execution policies).

This rule detects the execution of the `certutil.exe` utility specifically when it is used with the `-exportPFX` flag. This flag allows `certutil.exe` to export certificates, potentially including private keys, into a Personal Information Exchange (PFX) file. This activity can be indicative of an adversary attempting to steal credentials or establish persistence by exporting legitimate certificates for later use in impersonation or decryption.

Detects the execution of certutil.exe with the "-decode" or "-decodehex" flags to decode base64 or hex encoded files. This technique is commonly abused by attackers to deobfuscate and prepare encoded payloads for execution, often as part of defense evasion tactics.

Detects the execution of certutil.exe with the "-encode" flag to encode a file to base64, specifically when the file has a suspicious extension. This activity can be indicative of an adversary attempting to obfuscate malicious files or exfiltrate data.

Detects the execution of `certutil.exe` with the "-encode" flag to encode a file to Base64. This rule specifically triggers when the input file is located in potentially suspicious directories such as `AppData\Roaming\`, `Desktop\`, `Local\Temp\`, `PerfLogs\`, `Users\Public\`, `Windows\Temp\`, or `$Recycle.Bin`. This activity is often indicative of defense evasion, where attackers obfuscate malicious payloads to bypass security controls or hide their activities.

This rule detects potential obfuscated or stealthy PowerShell execution by identifying PowerShell commands that do not use the default 'powershell' or 'pwsh' executable names but still contain common PowerShell command-line arguments such as '-NoProfile', '-ExecutionPolicy', or 'Invoke-Expression'. It correlates these executions with user logon sessions to aid in attribution and threat hunting.

Detects PowerShell obfuscation techniques in process command lines, including encoded commands, IEX with string manipulation, and long command lines with string functions, indicating potential malicious activity. The rule specifically looks for the use of '-encodedcommand' or its short forms with long command lines, 'iex' or 'invoke-expression' combined with string manipulation (like '+', '-join', '[char]', 'frombase64string') or very long command lines, and unusually long command lines that also contain string manipulation functions ('-join', 'replace', 'split').

Detects the use of encoded PowerShell commands often associated with obfuscated or malicious script execution. The rule targets executions of 'powershell.exe' containing suspicious keywords like 'IEX', 'Invoke-WebRequest', or 'FromBase64String', and attempts to decode any Base64-encoded payloads. Common in malware delivery and post-exploitation activity.

This rule detects the creation of JavaScript files in the `AppData\Local\Temp` directory with a specific naming convention that resembles a GUID followed by a short alphanumeric e.g. or string and the '.js' eb2262cf-d737-4d55-9b98-84324ade4763ro.js.
This pattern is often used by malicious scripts or droppers that generate temporary files with randomised names to evade detection.
