Detects the execution of suspicious scripts (PowerShell, MSHTA, WScript, CScript) from common temporary directories. Adversaries often stage and execute malicious scripts from temporary folders to evade detection and blend in with legitimate system activity. The rule specifically looks for these script interpreters being launched with command lines that include paths to temporary directories, while filtering out some known legitimate activities.

Detects the use of "VMwareToolBoxCmd.exe" with the "script" and "set" flags to configure a script to run when a VM state changes. The rule specifically looks for scripts located in suspicious paths like temporary directories or Windows system directories, which could indicate an attempt at persistence or privilege escalation within a virtualized environment.

Detects the execution of 'curl.exe' with the '--insecure' flag or its shorthand '-k'. This flag tells curl to proceed with insecure SSL connections and transfers, which can be used by adversaries to bypass certificate validation when communicating with command and control servers or exfiltrating data, especially if they are using self-signed certificates or have intercepted traffic.

Detects the creation of a process named 'rasdial.exe'. This executable is used to establish and manage dial-up network connections, but can also be abused by adversaries for various purposes, including establishing C2 communication or exfiltration channels, or for defense evasion by creating unexpected network connections.

This rule detects the use of Gpg4win's gpg.exe or gpg2.exe for file decryption. It specifically looks for command-line arguments that include both '-d' (for decrypt) and 'passphrase', indicating an attempt to decrypt a file using a passphrase. This activity can be indicative of malicious actors decrypting sensitive data or malware components.

This rule detects the execution of PowerShell scripts where the script content is provided via a redirected input stream. This technique is often used by adversaries to execute malicious PowerShell code without writing it to a file, which can help evade detection. The rule specifically looks for PowerShell or pwsh executables being run with a command line containing '- <', which signifies input stream redirection.

This rule detects the execution of the Ruby interpreter (ruby.exe) with the "-e" flag. This flag allows for inline execution of Ruby code directly from the command line, which can be leveraged by adversaries to execute arbitrary commands, launch reverse shells, or run malicious Ruby scripts without needing to save them to a file. This technique is often used in post-exploitation scenarios or for initial access.
