Detects instances where googleupdate.exe is executed or loads DLLs from outside the legitimate Program Files paths, or correlates with v8_context_snapshot.bin file access within a 10-minute window, potentially indicating Google Update binary masquerading or side-loading.

The following analytic identifies the creation of executables or scripts in suspicious file paths on Windows systems. It leverages the Endpoint.Filesystem dataset to detect files with specific extensions (e.g., .exe, .dll, .ps1) created in uncommon directories (e.g., \windows\fonts\, \users\public\). This activity can be significant as adversaries often use these paths to evade detection and maintain persistence. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to execute unauthorized code, escalate privileges, or persist within the environment, posing a significant security threat.

Detects execution of conhost.exe from non-standard directories outside System32, SysWOW64, or WinSxS. Specifically targets drops within the user profile under AppData\Local\Microsoft\Conhost\ or when initiated by node.exe, which can indicate npm preinstall hooks or malware attempting to masquerade or abuse console host execution.

Detects Windows Portable Executable (PE) files (.exe) written to common user profile directories, such as Desktop, Downloads, Documents, and other user profile folders that lack company name metadata. This activity may indicate potentially untrusted executables, dropped malware, or masquerading attempts in user-writable locations.

The detection may also identify legitimate software, portable applications, development tools, and other benign files.

Detects one MAC address obtaining an unusual number of distinct leases. Legitimate
devices hold a lease and renew it. Rapid cycling suggests either MAC spoofing or a
device deliberately churning addresses to frustrate tracking and evade controls bound
to an IP.

Onboarding: WIN-DHCP is ingested via Syslog (Bloo extractor 79).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/hypercloud/syslog-connector

BQL (Bloo Query Language):

stream=dhcp where sourcename='WIN-DHCP' and action='IP_LEASED'
| duration 1h
| groupby macaddress
| select macaddress, distinct_count(srcip)
| having distinct_count_col1 > 5

Detects an endpoint flipping between compliant and non-compliant repeatedly in a
short period. Stable devices stay in one state. Rapid oscillation suggests something
is being disabled and restored — a security agent stopped and restarted, or posture
data being manipulated to satisfy the check only when it is being observed.

Onboarding: FORESCOUT is ingested via Syslog (CEF) (Bloo extractor 247).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/hypercloud/syslog-connector

BQL (Bloo Query Language):

stream=compliance where sourcename='FORESCOUT' and action='COMPLIANCE_CHECK'
| duration 1h
| groupby user, policy
| select user, policy, count(*) as cnt
| having cnt > 6

The following analytic identifies system processes running from unexpected locations outside of paths such as `C:\Windows\System32\` or `C:\Windows\SysWOW64`. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process paths, names, and hashes. This activity is significant as it may indicate a malicious process attempting to masquerade as a legitimate system process. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to execute code, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence within the environment, posing a significant security risk.

The following analytic identifies a LOLBAS process being executed where it's process name does not match it's original file name attribute.
Processes that have been renamed and executed may be an indicator that an adversary is attempting to evade defenses or execute malicious code.
The LOLBAS project documents Windows native binaries that can be abused by threat actors to perform tasks like executing malicious code.

Detects the GOST tunnel binary deployed as svchost.exe from a staging directory, identified by its known hash, or by an unsigned PE importing config.dll with a matching MZ header and embedded config.dll reference (reduces FPs from legitimately signed software that imports a DLL of the same name)
