Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe or Event ID 4698 that involve scripting interpreters (powershell, wscript, mshta, cmd) and suspicious command line arguments often associated with malicious activity, such as encoded commands, hidden windows, or network resource access, specifically when executing under the SYSTEM account context.

Detects a suspicious execution sequence associated with the SectopRAT loader. The rule monitors for ReportDump.exe being launched from a ProgramData directory by common scheduling or service host processes, followed immediately by the loading of a malicious sdkcra.dll library.

303
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks (Windows), cron jobs (Linux), or systemd timers where the initiating process is a common scripting or runtime interpreter (e.g., Python, Node.js, PowerShell, Java). This activity is often indicative of persistence mechanisms being established by a compromised agent or script-based process.

This rule detects instances of 'javaw.exe' executing from unusual directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, Users\Public) while loading a 'jli.dll' file from a related non-standard path, or simultaneously being associated with a scheduled task execution involving 'GlobalTellurSync'. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading or a persistence mechanism where a legitimate Java executable is repurposed to run malicious code.

001
Detects the execution of control.exe with suspicious command-line arguments involving WebDAV paths (DavWWWRoot) and file extensions like .cpl or .dll, initiated by Windows task-related processes (svchost, taskeng, schtasks). This pattern is indicative of potential malicious payload loading or proxy execution where a scheduled task is used to trigger a secondary malicious component.

This rule detects a sequence of events characteristic of the x47.c persistence pattern. It monitors for the creation of persistence mechanisms via Windows Registry Run keys or scheduled tasks, followed by the addition of Windows Defender exclusions using PowerShell within a 30-minute window on the same device.

Detects persistence attempts using common Windows auto-start registry keys or scheduled tasks where the initiating process is unsigned or has an invalid signature. The rule focuses on binaries executing from suspicious, user-writable directories (e.g., Temp, AppData, Downloads) and specifically targets persistence mechanisms involving the 'SecurityHealthService.exe' filename.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using schtasks.exe that involves 'keyroll' in the command line. This pattern specifically flags tasks associated with the 'rnpkeys.exe' utility or tasks being created within 'keyroll' directories, which may indicate the deployment or maintenance of unauthorized key management or persistence mechanisms.

Detects the creation of a Windows scheduled task named 'psychedelicloveUtils' using schtasks.exe, which is indicative of persistence mechanisms employed by the Psychedelic Stealer malware following installation.

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 of scheduled tasks using either 'schtasks.exe' or PowerShell ('powershell.exe', 'pwsh.exe') with suspicious parameters. It flags tasks created in temporary directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, ProgramData, Windows\Temp) or tasks executed with 'highest' privileges or hidden configurations, often used for persistence or lateral movement.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks that invoke rundll32.exe to execute code from suspicious, user-writable, or temporary file paths. This pattern is consistent with common persistence mechanisms employed by threat groups such as Wizard Spider (also known as Grim Spider, Gold Blackburn, and Periwinkle Tempest) to execute payloads like TrickBot or BazarLoader.

Detects Microsoft Office applications (Winword/Excel) spawning PowerShell or MSHTA with base64-encoded command-line arguments, followed by subsequent persistence mechanisms such as creating scheduled tasks or modifying Registry Run keys. This behavior is indicative of APT38 (BlueNoroff) and similar campaigns delivering banking Trojans via malicious Office macros.

This rule detects potential persistence via scheduled tasks that masquerade as legitimate network components (e.g., 'System Health Monitor'), as well as abnormal use of WebDav via rundll32.exe or net.exe in the context of the Star Blizzard (COLDRIVER) campaign. It monitors for task creation/updates, schtasks command lines, registry artifacts related to task scheduling, and suspicious WebDav network utility usage, while excluding common security tool processes.

This rule detects persistence mechanisms involving the creation or modification of Windows Registry Run keys, the creation of scheduled tasks, or the execution of specific binaries (COTFileReadApp.exe, DeElevate64.exe) associated with potentially unauthorized activity, specifically tracking strings related to 'Canon Configuration Reader' or 'Stardock DeElevation Tool'.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using either the 'schtasks.exe' utility or PowerShell's 'Register-ScheduledTask' cmdlet where the task configuration is pulled from an XML file located on a remote network share or HTTP/HTTPS resource. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to facilitate persistence or lateral movement by remotely deploying tasks.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the task configuration is fetched from a remote XML file (HTTP/HTTPS URL). This pattern is often used by adversaries to download and execute malicious payloads via task scheduling, bypassing local file restrictions.

Detects the creation of specific decoy scheduled tasks ('Internet Quality Test Connection', 'Network Configuration Manager', 'System Health Monitor') identified as part of the Star Blizzard actor's CosmicPulse delivery mechanism. The rule monitors for the creation of these tasks via schtasks.exe or system events, specifically when the task configuration references execution via rundll32.exe, regsvr32.exe, control.exe, or remote/UNC-based payloads.
