The following analytic identifies instances of the WinDBG process spawning AutoIt3. This behavior is detected by monitoring endpoint telemetry for processes where 'windbg.exe' is the parent process and 'autoit3.exe' or similar is the child process. This activity is significant because AutoIt3 is frequently used by threat actors for scripting malicious automation, potentially indicating an ongoing attack. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to automate tasks, execute arbitrary code, and further compromise the system, leading to data exfiltration or additional malware deployment.

The analytic detects unusually long command lines, which may indicate malicious activity. Attackers often use obfuscated or complex command lines to evade detection and execute malicious payloads. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to data theft, ransomware deployment, or further system compromise. Analysts should investigate the source and content of the command line, inspect relevant artifacts, and review concurrent processes to identify potential threats.

The analytic identifies unusually long command lines executed on hosts, which may indicate malicious activity. It leverages the Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK) to detect command lines with lengths that deviate from the norm for a given user. This is significant for a SOC as unusually long command lines can be a sign of obfuscation or complex malicious scripts. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to execute sophisticated commands, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the system.

The analytic detects potentially malicious command lines using a pretrained machine learning text classifier. It identifies unusual keyword combinations in command lines, such as "streamreader," "webclient," "mutex," "function," and "computehash," which are often associated with adversarial PowerShell code execution for C2 communication. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command lines longer than 200 characters. This activity is significant as it can indicate an attempt to execute malicious scripts, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution, data exfiltration, or further system compromise.

The following analytic detects the execution of command-line parameters commonly associated with REVIL ransomware, such as "-nolan", "-nolocal", "-fast", and "-full". It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution logs mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. This activity is significant because these parameters are indicative of ransomware attempting to encrypt files on a compromised machine. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to widespread data encryption, rendering critical files inaccessible and potentially causing significant operational disruption.

The following analytic detects the spawning of cmd or PowerShell processes by the wermgr.exe process. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process telemetry, including parent-child process relationships and command-line executions. This behavior is significant as it is commonly associated with code injection techniques used by malware like TrickBot to execute shellcode or malicious DLL modules. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence within the environment, posing a severe threat to system security.

This rule detects the execution of known Proof-of-Concept (PoC) executables for the ZeroLogon vulnerability (CVE-2020-1472). It specifically looks for `cmd.exe` spawning executables named `cool.exe` or `zero.exe` with command-line arguments indicating administrative context and execution flags. Additionally, it identifies subsequent actions such as `taskkill` commands or `powershell` execution, which are common post-exploitation activities after successful ZeroLogon exploitation.

Detects the execution of known attacker tools, specifically those associated with the IronSharpPack toolset. This rule identifies process launches where common command and scripting interpreters (cmd.exe, python, ipy.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, wsl.exe) are used to execute scripts or binaries with names indicative of IronSharpPack components. The presence of these tools in an unauthorized environment suggests malicious activity, often related to offensive security operations, post-exploitation, or privilege escalation.

Detects when the Console Window Host (conhost.exe) process is spawned by an uncommon parent process, which could be indicative of potential code injection activity. The rule specifically looks for conhost.exe being spawned by processes other than a predefined list of common and legitimate parents, while also filtering out specific command-line patterns for svchost.exe and Dropbox to reduce false positives.

This YARA rule detects the Sshdinjector backdoor on Linux systems. It identifies specific byte patterns associated with the backdoor's functionalities, including killing and restarting daemons, network communication, reading the /etc/shadow file (for credential dumping), and listing running services.

Detects suspicious file creations within the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS' parent telemetry folder, specifically looking for filenames containing patterns indicative of OS command injection attempts related to CVE-2024-3400. These files are processed by the 'dt_curl' script, which can lead to arbitrary command execution if device telemetry is enabled and filenames are crafted to bypass shell-subprocess restrictions.

This rule detects suspicious user-agent strings associated with the GraphRunner tool. GraphRunner is a PowerShell script used for interacting with Microsoft Graph API and other Microsoft services, often for malicious purposes like token manipulation or brute-forcing client IDs. The rule specifically looks for a predefined set of user-agent strings that are hardcoded within GraphRunner's functions. Detection is focused on Azure Activity, Office 365, Azure AD, Azure AD Directory Audit, and Microsoft Graph Activity logs. The rule aggregates detections by principal IP or user ID over a 5-minute window.
