Detects the execution of a Word document via the WinWord Start Menu shortcut using `cmd.exe`. This behavior has been observed in KamiKakaBot samples to initiate the second stage of infection. The rule specifically looks for `cmd.exe` executing a command line that includes a `.lnk` file, a path containing `Start Menu\Programs\Word`, and a `.doc` file extension.

Detects the execution of `cmd.exe` with output redirection (`>`) to suspicious locations such as temporary directories, user profile directories, or `ProgramData`. This technique is often used by adversaries to save the output of reconnaissance commands (e.g., `hostname`, `dir`) to files for later exfiltration, helping them evade immediate detection by storing command output in less scrutinized locations.

Detects the execution of a renamed "NirCmd.exe" binary based on its original filename metadata. This rule specifically looks for instances where the 'OriginalFileName' field in the process creation event is 'NirCmd.exe', but the actual executed image path does not end with 'nircmd.exe' or 'nircmdc.exe'. This indicates an attempt to evade detection by renaming the legitimate NirCmd utility.

Detects the creation of a file named "wermgr.exe" in an uncommon directory, which could indicate exploitation of CVE-2023-36874. The rule specifically looks for 'wermgr.exe' being created outside of standard Windows system directories, aiming to catch malicious instances masquerading as the legitimate Windows Error Reporting Manager.

Detects the execution of a shell as sub process of "rsync" without the expected command line flag "-e" being used, which could be an indication of exploitation as described in CVE-2024-12084. This behavior is commonly associated with attempts to execute arbitrary commands or escalate privileges, potentially leading to unauthorized access or further exploitation.

This rule detects the execution of the PingCastle utility, a legitimate Active Directory security assessment tool, when its executable name has been changed. Adversaries often rename legitimate tools to evade detection. The detection logic relies on identifying specific original file names within the PE metadata (OriginalFileName) and/or recognizing characteristic command-line arguments used by PingCastle, such as those related to scanner functions or health checks. The rule specifically filters out executions where the image path matches the original PingCastle executable names, focusing on instances where the binary has been renamed.

Detects suspicious usage of the ShellExec_RunDLL function to launch other commands, as observed in the Raspberry Robin attack. This rule specifically looks for 'ShellExec_RunDLL' in the command line combined with suspicious paths or commands like 'Desktop', 'Temp', 'Users\Public', 'comspec', 'iex', 'Invoke-', 'msiexec', 'odbcconf', or 'regsvr32'.

Detects the execution of Stracciatella, a hack tool that executes PowerShell runspaces from within C# (SharpPick technique) while attempting to disable AMSI, ETW, and Script Block Logging. Detection is based on the executable's name, original filename, description, or specific SHA256 hashes.

Detects a Python process attempting to spawn a pseudo-terminal (TTY) using the `pty` module. This behavior is often indicative of an attacker establishing a reverse shell for interactive command execution on a compromised system. The rule specifically looks for Python executables and command-line arguments that import the `pty` module and call its `spawn` function.

Detects the execution of commands via the Windows Run dialog box by monitoring modifications to the "RunMRU" registry key. This technique has been observed in campaigns where threat actors trick users into pasting and executing malicious commands, often under the guise of CAPTCHA verification steps, to deliver malware like Lumma Stealer.
