This rule detects files associated with Dohdoor activity. It uses two primary detection methods: matching known SHA256 file hashes and identifying distinctive text markers. The text markers include strings related to DoH request construction (e.g., 'insomnia/11.3.0', 'Accept: applications/dns-json'), staging path patterns (e.g., '/111111?sub=s'), DLLs and LOLBins used for disguise (e.g., 'propsys.dll', 'Fondue.exe'), and obfuscated infrastructure patterns (e.g., 'MswInSofTUpDloAd', '.DeSigN'). A hash match indicates a strong lead, while text marker matches suggest potential activity requiring further investigation.

Detects the creation or modification of a Windows service named 'BluetoothService' where its executable path points to a non-standard, user-writable location (e.g., AppData, Temp, ProgramData). This technique is often used by malware, such as the Chrysalis backdoor in the Lotus Blossom campaign, to establish persistence and evade detection by masquerading as a legitimate system service.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'SoftwareProtection' that executes a Python script. This technique is used by the CrashFix variant to establish persistence for its Python-based RAT, mimicking a legitimate Windows service to blend in. The malware drops its components into a subfolder of AppData to masquerade as a legitimate platform component.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'SoftwareProtection' that executes a Python script. This is a persistence mechanism used by the CrashFix campaign to masquerade as a legitimate Windows service.

Detects the VoidLink malware's initial dropper behavior, where a process masquerading as a kernel thread executes a payload from memory. This is indicative of the memfd_create and execveat fileless execution technique used by VoidLink, characterized by a process created with no FolderPath or FileName, initiated by a process named like a kernel thread.

This rule detects the multi-stage VoidLink C2 loader chain by identifying a combination of behaviors. It looks for fileless execution, specifically processes running from memory file descriptors or /proc/[pid]/fd paths. It also identifies kernel thread masquerading, where processes attempt to mimic legitimate kernel threads by using command lines like '[kworker/...]' or '[migration/...]' in conjunction with non-kernel executable paths. The rule further identifies staging activities, such as processes executing from common temporary directories like /tmp, /dev/shm, or /var/tmp. Additionally, it looks for specific VoidLink artifacts in command lines, including '.vl_', 'stage[0-9].bin', 'implant.bin', or C2 communication patterns like '/api/v2/(handshake|sync)'. Finally, it detects anonymous network activity, where a deleted executable (indicating fileless execution) is associated with network connection utilities like curl, wget, or socket/connect calls. The rule triggers when specific combinations of these behaviors are observed, such as fileless execution combined with kernel masquerading, or fileless execution combined with staging, or kernel masquerading combined with staging, or VoidLink artifacts combined with fileless execution or kernel masquerading, or anonymous network activity combined with kernel masquerading or staging. This correlation aims to reduce false positives by requiring multiple indicators of compromise.

Detects malware masquerading as the 'init' process to evade detection. This rule specifically looks for processes named 'init' that do not have an instance ID of '1' and are not located in the standard '/sbin/init' or '/usr/lib/systemd/systemd' paths. It also flags processes in suspicious temporary directories.

Detects processes that masquerade as the 'init' process, a technique used by the GoBruteforcer malware. The rule identifies processes named 'init' while filtering out legitimate system init processes based on their process ID, parent process ID, and executable path.

Detects the creation of a Windows service named "NSecRTS" with the display name "Windows Real-time Protection Service" and an executable path in a suspicious "NSEC" folder. This behavior is associated with a China-linked RAT observed in an Indian Income Tax-themed phishing campaign.

Detects potential WARP PANDA Junction implant activity by identifying processes, other than the legitimate 'vvold' service, listening on TCP port 8090. The Junction implant uses this port to masquerade and receive commands.

Detects process masquerading and resource abuse techniques used in the ShadowRay 2.0 campaign. This includes processes renamed to mimic legitimate system components (e.g., kworker, dns-filter) and the execution of known cryptominers from unusual locations.

Detects various activities associated with the 'Operation Wocao' campaign, including the use of 'checkadmin.exe', 'netsh' commands to modify firewall rules, PowerShell execution with bypass and encoded commands, scheduled task creation, and attempts to query KeePass configuration files and PuTTY sessions from the registry. These activities indicate potential privilege escalation, persistence, discovery, and defense evasion techniques used by the threat actor.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using `schtasks.exe` where the command line arguments include names of common Windows system processes. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to masquerade a malicious scheduled task as a legitimate system process for persistence or privilege escalation.

Detects a high frequency of 'shell' processes spawned by the same parent process, a behavior indicative of the LunoBotnet's watchdog-based self-healing and persistence mechanism. The parent process often masquerades as a kernel worker.

This rule detects activities associated with the Charon ransomware, including DLL side-loading, process creation patterns, file modifications related to ransom notes and payload artifacts, shadow copy deletion attempts, and service creation for persistence. It also includes SHA1 hashes for known Charon ransomware executables.

A keylogger is an insidious form of spyware. when we enter sensitive data onto keyboard, believing nobody is watching. In fact, keylogging software is hard at work logging everything that you type. Keyloggers are activity-monitoring software programs that give hackers access to your personal data. The passwords and credit card numbers you type, the webpages you visit – all by logging your keyboard strokes. The software is installed on your computer, and records everything you type. Then it sends this log file to a server, where cybercriminals wait to make use of all this sensitive information.
