Detects a discrepancy between the SHA256 hash of a running process image (via /proc/<pid>/exe on Linux) and the hash of the corresponding binary file on disk. This behavior is indicative of process memory manipulation, such as fileless execution or binary replacement, where the code currently running in memory does not match the original file on disk.

This rule detects cross-process injection techniques, such as OpenProcess, CreateRemoteThread, and memory modifications, specifically targeting 'svchost.exe' instances that do not appear to be hosting critical Windows services. By filtering out known critical services (e.g., RpcSs, DcomLaunch), the rule flags suspicious attempts to inject code into legitimate service host processes to mask malicious activity.

This rule detects potential tampering with the Huorong security product by monitoring for specific process names (HipsTray.exe, HipsMain.exe, HipsDaemon.exe, wsctrlsvc.exe, TrafficProt.exe) interacting with suspicious API calls or command lines indicative of token privilege manipulation, service blinding, or security product disabling/downgrade.

Detects potential exploitation of PostgreSQL via logical decoding plugins, specifically targeting CVE-2026-6471. The rule monitors for the PostgreSQL server process spawning suspicious shell utilities or loading modules from locations outside of the expected PostgreSQL library or plugin directories, which is a common indicator of unauthorized code execution.

Detects the GoCaracal lightweight implant performing process injection by identifying combinations of remote process memory allocation (VirtualAllocRemoteApiCall), memory writing (WriteProcessMemoryRemoteApiCall), and remote thread creation (CreateRemoteThreadApiCall) associated with specific suspicious filenames. It also monitors command-line activity for injection-related flags.

Detects anomalous network connections to the local Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) debugging interface (127.0.0.1) associated with suspicious commands or function calls. This pattern is indicative of msaRAT malware attempting to perform process injection, bypass Content Security Policy (CSP), or execute code within a target browser process.

Detects Python or PythonW processes loading an illegitimate 'msvcp150.dll' (masquerading as a Visual C++ redistributable) that simultaneously loads the .NET 'System.Management.Automation' assembly. This behavior is indicative of the SynkLoader technique, where a malicious native DLL is used as a bridge to execute PowerShell commands within the memory space of a Python process, bypassing traditional script-based detection.

This rule detects attempts to perform process injection techniques (such as creating remote threads or opening processes) targeting the 'ctfmon.exe' process, where the initiating process is not 'ctfmon.exe' itself. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity such as reflective code loading or the execution of malware like SparkRAT, which may use this legitimate Windows process to mask its activity.

This rule detects in-memory patching of critical Windows security functions, specifically AmsiScanBuffer (used by AMSI) and EtwEventWrite (used by ETW). It monitors for suspicious API calls such as VirtualProtect, WriteProcessMemory, NtProtectVirtualMemory, or NtWriteVirtualMemory targeting these specific DLLs (amsi.dll and ntdll.dll), which is a common technique used by malware and offensive security tools to blind endpoint security and logging mechanisms.

This rule detects a multi-stage attack chain characteristic of the WordlistLoader/Amatera malware. It identifies the sequential occurrence of module unhooking (via CreateToolhelp32Snapshot), ETW bypass (via AddVectoredExceptionHandler), and remote process injection (via WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread, etc.) originating from the same process within a 15-minute window.

This rule detects potentially malicious memory manipulation and thread execution activity originating from the ERAAgent.exe process. It specifically identifies when ERAAgent.exe calls VirtualProtect or VirtualAlloc to set memory as PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, followed shortly by a CreateThread or CreateRemoteThread operation. This behavior is indicative of process injection or reflective code loading, where an executable image is manually mapped into memory and executed, bypassing traditional file-based detection.

Detects a suspicious pattern associated with the SLEEPWALKER technique, involving multiple memory write operations followed by a memory protection change within an ERAAgent.exe process. This behavior suggests code injection or dynamic code loading within a process.

Detects execution of a renamed Windows Contacts utility (wab.exe) spawned by the WMI Provider Host (WmiPrvSE.exe). This pattern is indicative of masquarading and process injection, commonly used by threat actors to execute arbitrary code or establish C2 communication while appearing as a legitimate Windows binary.

Detects instances where a non-SYSTEM process attempts to open a handle to winlogon.exe. Since winlogon.exe typically runs as SYSTEM and manages user sessions, unauthorized access to its process handle is often a precursor to credential dumping or token manipulation attacks aimed at escalating privileges to SYSTEM.

This rule detects potentially malicious process injection activities (CreateRemoteThreadApiCall, ProcessInjection, OpenProcessApiCall) targeting the Volume Shadow Copy Service process (vssvc.exe). It monitors for interactions originating from processes other than legitimate system processes (svchost.exe, services.exe) or vssadmin.exe, which is commonly associated with Volume Shadow Copy manipulation. Such activity often indicates attempts by malware or attackers to inject code into a critical system process to gain persistence, escalate privileges, or evade detection.

Detects the specific execution gate check utilized by WordlistLoader malware. The rule monitors ProcessApiCall events for OpenEventA or CreateEventA API calls using hardcoded, unique GUIDs known to be associated with this malware, ensuring high fidelity.
