Detects parent process ID (PPID) spoofing associated with RMMCRAT and other HVNC malware, where an injected process (e.g., smartscreen.exe) spawns child processes while spoofing explorer.exe as the parent. The rule monitors for a mismatch between the reported parent (explorer.exe) and the actual creator (smartscreen.exe) and focuses on burst activity of common shell and browser processes.

Detects instances where the suspicious binary 'x47_bot.exe' performs process injection or hollows a process, followed by an attempt to gain or elevate privileges (such as via UAC bypass, token manipulation, or privilege checking) on the same host within a 15-minute window.

Detects the execution chain of the Sauron Loader malware. The rule identifies the side-loading of 'rnp.dll' by 'rnpkeys.exe' originating from the 'C:\ProgramData\keyroll' directory, followed by the loading of 'tdwp.dll' which facilitates in-memory decryption and execution. Persistence is confirmed by the creation or update of a scheduled task named 'keyroll'.

Detects instances where an unauthorized or non-standard source process performs cross-process access (such as OpenProcess or similar operations indicative of code injection techniques like CreateRemoteThread or QueueUserAPC) against a sensitive target host process, such as explorer.exe, svchost.exe, or notepad.exe.

Detects potential process injection attempts (e.g., Early Bird APC injection or process hollowing) where a process is spawned in a suspended state, followed shortly by a remote-thread or QueueUserAPC injection primitive targeting that same process. The rule correlates process creation events with subsequent API calls while excluding known legitimate patterns like .NET runtime operations, system updaters, and EDR/AV security components.

This rule detects potential process injection activity where a process is created in a suspended state and subsequently performs memory unmapping followed by a remote memory write operation. This behavior targets critical system processes such as svchost, explorer, lsass, services, and spoolsv, which is highly indicative of process hollowing or similar injection techniques used by malicious actors.

Detects instances where browser processes (Chrome or Edge) are spawned by smartscreen.exe and subsequently access sensitive browser storage files such as Login Data, Cookies, or Local State. This pattern is indicative of a process injection or masquerading chain used to extract credentials or session data.

303
Detects potential process injection attempts where a browser or Office application attempts to write to the memory or create a remote thread within high-value or trusted system processes like svchost.exe or explorer.exe. This activity is indicative of defense evasion techniques such as DLL or PE injection.

Detects the creation of a remote thread (Sysmon Event ID 8) by a process into a set of common host processes (e.g., svchost.exe, explorer.exe) where the starting address of the thread does not map to a known loaded module. This behavior is highly indicative of reflective code injection or shellcode execution within the address space of a remote process.

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious cross-process access attempts by monitoring relationships between source and target processes. It specifically flags instances where common target processes (e.g., browsers or core system processes) are accessed by a source process that is not on a known allowlist of legitimate parent/child or service-related processes. This pattern is often indicative of process injection or unauthorized memory access attempts.

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 the execution of the Kothamine injector by correlating three distinct stages: the use of PowerShell to create an AV exclusion for 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore', the dropping of the 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore' binary into the user's AppData directory, and subsequent process injection (OpenProcess/VirtualAllocEx/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread) into explorer.exe.

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.
