1,212 detections

Detects the startup or configuration of the WebClient service, commonly associated with WebDAV redirection, followed within 15 minutes by a process (e.g., control.exe, rundll32.exe, svchost.exe) interacting with a WebDAV-style UNC path. This behavioral pattern is indicative of attackers, such as the Star Blizzard group, abusing built-in Windows functionality to facilitate credential theft or remote file execution via malicious WebDAV shares.

This rule detects suspicious persistence activity involving known tools or names that are often masqueraded. It looks for the creation of registry run keys or scheduled tasks using names associated with common tools ('Canon Configuration Reader', 'Stardock DeElevation Tool') when the initiating process is not located in the expected vendor-authorized directories. The rule specifically alerts on devices exhibiting these behaviors within a short time window.

This rule monitors for known suspicious RPC interface and function calls indicative of post-exploitation activities. It specifically targets RPC patterns used for lateral movement (e.g., PsExec, wmiexec, dcomexec), authentication coercion (e.g., PetitPotam, PrinterBug), and credential theft (e.g., DCSync, SAMR enumeration) by filtering on specific interface UUIDs and operation numbers.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the command line contains suspicious patterns such as execution of common scripting engines (PowerShell, wscript, cscript), use of common staging directories (temp, appdata, programdata), or naming conventions that mimic legitimate Windows system tasks.

001
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility with either system-level privileges ('/ru SYSTEM') or persistent triggers ('/sc onlogon' or '/sc onstart'). The rule filters out commonly trusted parent processes, highlighting potential persistence mechanisms established by unauthorized or unusual processes.

101
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks (via Event ID 4698 or schtasks.exe) involving suspicious action paths, encoded PowerShell commands, LOLBins, or tasks configured to run as SYSTEM by non-administrator users, which is a common persistence mechanism for malware.

001
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using Event ID 4698 or command-line execution of schtasks.exe. The rule specifically looks for tasks created in suspicious paths such as AppData or ProgramData, or tasks configured to run with highest privileges and/or marked as hidden, which are common indicators of persistence mechanisms used by adversaries.

001
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the task is configured to run in the security context of the SYSTEM account or executes suspicious binaries like PowerShell, mshta, or other living-off-the-land binaries. This behavior is indicative of potential persistence mechanisms employed by adversaries.

001
Detects Microsoft Office applications or scripting engines spawning schtasks.exe to create or modify a scheduled task that executes as the SYSTEM user upon system startup or login. This behavior is highly indicative of persistence mechanisms used by malicious documents or scripts.

This rule detects persistence establishment via Scheduled Task creation shortly (within 15 minutes) after a suspicious PowerShell process execution. The PowerShell execution matches the 'ClickFix' pattern, characterized by hidden/bypass window styles and the invocation of remote download or execution cmdlets (e.g., IEX, IRM).

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe that involve suspicious arguments (such as encoded commands, execution from volatile directories like Temp/AppData, or run-once triggers) shortly after a file has been downloaded into a temporary or user-writable directory. This pattern is commonly indicative of an adversary establishing persistence for downloaded malware.

001
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe that execute common script interpreters (powershell.exe, wscript.exe, mshta.exe, cscript.exe) from user-writable or temporary directories (Temp, AppData, ProgramData, Users\Public). This activity often indicates an attempt to establish persistence or run malicious scripts.

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.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' that involves suspicious command-line patterns, specifically tasks pointing to potentially volatile directories (temp, appdata, programdata) or tasks executing PowerShell/CMD with common obfuscation/execution arguments such as encoded commands, hidden window styles, or base64 decoding.

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.

The rule detects correlation between the creation of persistence-related Registry keys (specifically Windows Run keys or Browser Native Messaging hosts) and the execution of the schtasks.exe utility to create or manage a task related to 'psychedelicloveUtils'. This pattern suggests an adversary attempting to maintain persistence by linking Registry-based autostart mechanisms with a scheduled task.
