Detects the execution of 'ftp.exe' with the '-s' or '/s' flag, which indicates script execution, or any child processes spawned by 'ftp.exe'. This behavior can be abused by adversaries for arbitrary command execution, often as a method of defense evasion or indirect command execution.

Detects the execution of 'lodctr.exe' with the '-r' flag, which is used to rebuild performance counter registry values. Attackers can abuse this utility by providing a malicious configuration file to overwrite performance counter configurations, potentially confusing or evading monitoring and security solutions.

This rule detects commands executed via the Run dialog (Win+R), which is often used by attackers or malicious scripts to launch tools like PowerShell, cmd, or other malicious payloads. It specifically looks for modifications to the 'RunMRU' registry key by 'explorer.exe' that contain suspicious keywords or patterns indicative of command execution, especially in scenarios like ClickFix-style attacks where users are tricked into running commands.

This KQL rule detects commands executed via the Run dialog by monitoring changes to the "Runmru" registry key. This key stores a history of commands entered into the Run dialog. Attackers or malicious scripts often use this method to launch tools like PowerShell, cmd, or malicious payloads, particularly in social engineering attacks where users are tricked into running commands.

This rule detects suspicious command-line activity, specifically file downloads using 'curl' initiated by a web browser. This behavior may indicate malicious JavaScript or HTML triggering command execution, a user being tricked into clicking a link that launches a command, or initial access/payload download in a phishing or drive-by attack.

This rule detects activities associated with the Charon ransomware, including DLL side-loading, process creation patterns, file modifications related to ransom notes and payload artifacts, shadow copy deletion attempts, and service creation for persistence. It also includes SHA1 hashes for known Charon ransomware executables.

Detects the execution of "forfiles" with the "/c" flag.
While this is an expected behavior of the tool, it can be abused in order to proxy execution through it with any binary.
Can be used to bypass application whitelisting.

Vidar is a sophisticated infostealer operating as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS). Written in C++, it’s designed to harvest a wide range of sensitive data from infected systems and exfiltrate it to attacker controlled infrastructure.

🧬 Script Inception: PowerShell scripts nested within PowerShell scripts, layered with 2–3 rounds of Base64 encoding.

📦 RAR Payloads: Password protected RAR files downloaded via direct-to-IP HTTP requests over TCP port 80. Passwords are embedded in encoded scripts and passed via command line to a downloaded copy of "unrar.exe".

The following analytic identifies child processes spawned by vmtoolsd.exe, the VMWare Tools service in Windows, which typically runs with SYSTEM privileges. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process and parent process relationships. Monitoring this activity is crucial as it can indicate exploitation attempts, such as CVE-2023-20867. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain SYSTEM-level access, allowing them to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise the entire system.

The following analytic detects the execution of the chcp.com utility, which is used to change the active code page of the console. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process creation events. This activity is significant because it can indicate the presence of malware, such as IcedID, which uses this technique to determine the locale region, language, or country of the compromised host. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to further system compromise and data exfiltration.

This rule detects a potentially malicious Human Interface Device (HID) attack where a newly connected keyboard device (e.g., a USB Rubber Ducky) immediately triggers the execution of a script interpreter such as PowerShell, CMD, or MSHTA. The correlation occurs within 60 seconds of device insertion, which is characteristic of HID-based keystroke injection attacks.
