Detects post-exploitation command execution originating from a compromised explorer.exe process. The rule identifies processes like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or conhost.exe spawned by an explorer.exe instance that has previously loaded the malicious 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll' module, correlating this activity with the established 'tailcat.exe' command-and-control tunnel.
Detects the execution of PowerShell commands that reflectively load .NET assemblies into memory, followed immediately by a process injection event targeting Chromium-based browsers (e.g., chrome.exe) or Firefox. This behavior is highly characteristic of credential harvesting tools like BoundSiphon, which injects code into browser processes to decrypt and extract App-Bound encryption keys.
Detects suspicious process execution patterns associated with RMMCRAT, where the Windows SmartScreen process (smartscreen.exe) spawns cmd.exe, which subsequently launches PowerShell with specific parameters for piped input/output. This behavior is characteristic of malicious code injection and command-and-control activity.
Detects a suspicious sequence where a process loads the .NET CLR (clr.dll or mscoree.dll) and shortly thereafter accesses specific low-prevalence file extensions (.raw or .pak) within high-risk directories (AppData/Local/Temp, ProgramData, or Users/Public). This behavior is characteristic of shellcode loaders (such as the WAV-shellcode loader) that decrypt and execute RAT payloads from obfuscated containers in memory. The rule intentionally excludes common desktop applications to minimize false positives.
Matches published SHA-256 hashes for the Kothamine Injector and Agent DLL, which drop MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.exe/.dll and inject into explorer.exe. Exact full-file SHA-256 match only, no fuzzy or partial matching, no additional PE structural checks.
Detects behavior consistent with the Kothamine agent, where a recently dropped DLL in a temporary directory is loaded by a short-lived explorer.exe process. This rule monitors for file creation, subsequent module loading by the explorer process, and ensures the process was spawned in close proximity to the file activity, indicating likely process injection.
Detects anomalous credential access behavior by identifying instances where a compromised explorer.exe process (injected with the Kothamine payload DLL MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll) accesses browser cookie stores and gaming credential files in quick succession.
Detects unauthorized access to Windows camera or microphone consent store registry keys by either a suspected Kothamine agent masquerading as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.exe' or an injected 'explorer.exe'. The rule correlates these registry access events with the presence of specific Kothamine-related file artifacts (MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll and tailcat.exe) on the same host within a 24-hour window to minimize noise.
Detects unauthorized access to Windows camera or microphone consent store registry keys by either a suspected Kothamine agent masquerading as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.exe' or an injected 'explorer.exe'. The rule correlates these registry access events with the presence of specific Kothamine-related file artifacts (MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll and tailcat.exe) on the same host within a 24-hour window to minimize noise.
Detects instances where an alert marked as process injection (T1055) involves an action process that is unsigned and differs from the actor process image, suggesting potential execution of an unauthorized or malicious payload masked by process injection techniques.
This rule detects potential process injection or process hollowing attempts by correlating Sysmon Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess) events indicating process memory modification permissions (such as PROCESS_VM_WRITE and PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD) with subsequent Sysmon Event ID 8 (CreateRemoteThread) events targeting the same process. This behavior is indicative of an adversary injecting malicious code into a legitimate host process (e.g., svchost.exe, explorer.exe).
This rule detects cross-process operations where common user applications or scripting hosts initiate activity towards sensitive system processes (e.g., lsass.exe, services.exe). This pattern is a frequent indicator of process injection techniques used to achieve code execution in the context of high-privilege or critical system services, often for the purpose of credential theft or persistence.
This rule detects potential command-and-control (C2) activity by correlating the creation of known Cobalt Strike or Sliver framework named pipes with subsequent repeated HTTP/S network beaconing from the same process or host. The rule identifies processes establishing suspicious named pipes, then looks for persistent network connections to standard web ports (80, 443) within a 30-minute window, flagging instances where significant beaconing count is observed.
This rule detects potentially malicious in-memory module loading, such as Beacon Object File (BOF) execution, on hosts already identified as exhibiting suspicious behavior related to MLTBackdoor or sideloading activity. It monitors for memory allocation or protection changes (AllocateVirtualMemory, VirtualProtect, CreateRemoteThread) that result in executable memory (RWX or execute-only) without a corresponding file on disk, which is a common indicator of fileless code injection.
Detects Sysmon Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess) events where a process opens lsass.exe with a GrantedAccess mask matching known credential-dumping access rights (e.g. PROCESS_VM_READ combinations used by Mimikatz/ProcDump-style tooling), excluding common legitimate EDR/AV/diagnostic source processes.
Detects a specific persistence chain attributed to DragonForce where the 'javaw.exe' process side-loads a malicious 'jli.dll' from a non-standard, user-writable directory. The rule correlates this DLL image load with the subsequent reading of an encrypted, host-bound payload file ('rvsdiqw.txt') by the same process, which is then decrypted and injected into memory.
Detects remote thread creation (CreateRemoteThread or QueueUserAPC) into common Windows system processes (rundll32.exe or svchost.exe) originating from suspicious source processes. This activity is indicative of process injection techniques commonly utilized by Cobalt Strike beacons during post-exploitation, lateral movement, or ransomware deployment phases.
Detects evidence of the Antino backdoor performing sleep-masking shellcode evasion. The rule monitors for 'slc.dll' being sideloaded by 'GatherOsState.exe' and the subsequent invocation of memory management APIs (VirtualAlloc, NtAllocateVirtualMemory) paired with memory protection changes (VirtualProtect) or thread context modification, which are characteristic behaviors used by Antino to mask malicious shellcode in memory between execution intervals.
Detects a potential process hollowing technique where 'Finalized.dll' (loaded from unconventional locations like a ComponentsFolder or System32) is used to spawn 'clspack.exe' in a suspended state from a non-standard path (e.g., AppData\Microsoft). This sequence indicates an attempt to mask malicious execution under a legitimate process name.
Detects known Cobalt Strike default named pipe naming conventions and cross-process reflective DLL injection activities into common Windows host processes such as rundll32.exe, svchost.exe, and others. This rule monitors for suspicious named pipe creation events and process memory manipulation patterns indicative of beacon behavior and post-exploitation injection.
This rule detects various process injection techniques (such as CreateRemoteThread, QueueUserAPC, and remote memory writes) initiated by external processes targeting high-value, commonly abused Windows system processes like svchost.exe, lsass.exe, and explorer.exe. These techniques are often used by ransomware and other malware to hide malicious code execution within trusted system memory space.
