Detects a process launch whose command line both references a cron persistence path (crontab, /etc/cron.d/, /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/, /var/spool/cron/crontabs/) and contains a download-and-execute or reverse-shell marker (curl/wget piped to a shell, /dev/tcp/ redirection, base64-decoded payload, nc -e) or installs the crontab from a file staged under /tmp/. Attackers commonly install a scheduled cron entry so a malicious command re-executes on a fixed interval, surviving reboots and process kills (T1053.003).
Detects scheduled task creation observed through ADAudit Plus. Scheduled tasks are a
long-standing persistence and remote execution mechanism, and seeing them at the
directory audit layer catches creation across the domain rather than host by host.
Onboarding: MANAGE-ENGINE-ADAUDIT-PLUS is ingested via Syslog (KV) (Bloo extractor 830).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/hypercloud/syslog-connector
BQL (Bloo Query Language):
stream=win-audit where sourcename='MANAGE-ENGINE-ADAUDIT-PLUS'
and action='TASK_CREATED'

The following analytic detects the execution of the "At" application in Linux, which can be used by attackers to create persistence entries on a compromised host. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and parent process names associated with "at" or "atd". This activity is significant because the "At" application can be exploited to maintain unauthorized access or deliver additional malicious payloads. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other severe consequences. Immediate investigation is required to determine the legitimacy of the execution and mitigate potential risks.
Detects evidence of exploitation and post-exploitation activity related to CVE-2026-59310, an unauthenticated RCE vulnerability in the VMware vCenter Syslog Server. The rule monitors for suspicious child processes spawned by vmsyslogcollector, directory traversal patterns in command lines, and persistence mechanisms involving SSH authorized_keys modification, cron job creation, or systemd unit deployment on the VCSA shell.
Detects the creation or modification of scheduled tasks (crontab entries) initiated by processes commonly associated with Citrix NetScaler ADC/Gateway appliances (nsppe, httpd, nscollect). This behavior is often indicative of persistence mechanisms used by attackers following an initial exploit on an edge network device.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks, recurring jobs, or webhook subscriptions by a user identity flagged as an AI_AGENT. This activity is monitored for persistence, especially when the event lacks a descriptive context or targets external networks, suggesting potential unauthorized agent behavioral drift or malicious persistence.
This rule detects the creation or modification of recurring cloud automation tasks (AWS EventBridge rules, Azure Automation Runbooks/Logic Apps, and GCP Cloud Scheduler jobs). Adversaries leverage these features to establish persistent access to a cloud environment by ensuring malicious code or scripts execute automatically, even after initial compromised credentials have been revoked.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks, recurring jobs, or webhook subscriptions by a user identity flagged as an AI_AGENT. This activity is monitored for persistence, especially when the event lacks a descriptive context or targets external networks, suggesting potential unauthorized agent behavioral drift or malicious persistence.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task intended to masquerade as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTask' using either schtasks.exe or PowerShell. The rule specifically monitors for tasks being registered in AppData/Roaming directories, which is a common indicator of persistence by malicious actors attempting to mimic legitimate Microsoft Edge update processes.
Detects the creation of multiple suspicious scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe initiated by scripting engines (wscript.exe, cscript.exe). The rule filters for specific task names associated with known malicious patterns and XML definition files located in a specific directory path, identifying potential automated persistence or malware installation behavior.
Detects the creation or modification of a scheduled task utilizing 'tdwp.dll' and containing the 'keyroll' argument in the command line. This pattern is indicative of a specific persistent mechanism often associated with unauthorized activity or potential malware.
Detects the creation of recurring EventBridge rules or EventBridge Scheduler schedules configured with cron or rate expressions that trigger Lambda functions or SSM automation documents. This activity is a common method for cloud-native persistence, allowing for durable, recurring execution of malicious code that persists across credential rotations or resource deletions, provided the actor is not a recognized platform-engineering entity.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task intended to masquerade as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTask' using either schtasks.exe or PowerShell. The rule specifically monitors for tasks being registered in AppData/Roaming directories, which is a common indicator of persistence by malicious actors attempting to mimic legitimate Microsoft Edge update processes.

Detects the execution of 'ReportDump.exe' from within the 'C:\ProgramData' directory when initiated by system processes associated with scheduled tasks (svchost.exe, taskeng.exe, schtasks.exe) containing 'Schedule' in the command line. This behavior is indicative of potential persistence mechanisms or malicious file execution using legitimate Windows scheduling utilities.
