Detects instances where 'rnpkeys.exe', residing within a 'keyroll' directory, initiates suspicious child processes or executes suspicious command lines. This includes triggering common scripting engines like PowerShell or cmd.exe, using execution policy bypass flags, or executing binaries from Temp directories, which are characteristic of malicious post-exploitation or persistence activities.

Detects a specific social-engineering pattern known as 'ClickFix' where a user is manipulated into opening the Windows Run dialog (explorer.exe) to manually execute commands. The rule identifies suspicious command-line arguments typically associated with initial access (e.g., PowerShell hidden/encoded execution, web downloads) followed by the execution of MSI installers or related malicious binaries (e.g., rnpkeys.exe) within a 30-minute window, indicative of the Sauron Loader infection chain.

Detects various system utilities executing files or payloads staged in user-specific temporary directories (%AppData%\Local\Temp). This pattern is consistent with malware loaders (such as the Sauron Loader) that write payloads to the Temp folder before utilizing trusted Windows binaries (LOLBins) like rundll32, regsvr32, powershell, or wscript for execution. It also tracks potential driver installation or direct process memory access attempts from the same location.

Detects the execution of various system binaries (e.g., rundll32.exe, powershell.exe, regsvr32.exe) launched from a Temp directory where the parent or actor process is identified as rnpkeys.exe or rnp.dll. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity where legitimate tools or utilities (GnuPG/RNP) are being abused to proxy the execution of secondary payloads or scripts.

Detects the use of PowerShell or Windows Script Host to access files within common web browser cache directories combined with indicators of Base64 decoding and pixel data manipulation. This behavior is indicative of extracting malicious payloads hidden via steganography within browser-cached image files, a technique often used in phishing campaigns to evade detection.

This rule detects the 'ClickFix' social engineering technique where a user is manipulated into manually invoking the Windows Run dialog (Win+R) and pasting a malicious command. The rule monitors for instances where explorer.exe spawns command interpreters like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or mshta.exe with suspicious command-line patterns indicative of encoded payloads, script execution, or remote downloads.

Detects the Exvicy 'ClickFix' campaign execution chain where explorer.exe spawns a PowerShell process utilizing download commands (e.g., Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-RestMethod) to interact with known malicious domains or IP addresses, followed by the execution of installers (msiexec.exe) or tools (putty.exe) within a short timeframe.

This rule detects network traffic patterns indicative of the Lumma Stealer 'ClickFix' phishing campaign. It identifies outbound requests to suspicious domains ending in .cyou utilizing specific user agents (WinHttp or Microsoft BITS), which are characteristic of malicious PowerShell scripts attempting to retrieve secondary payloads.

Detects instances where common web browsers (chrome, msedge, firefox, brave) are spawned as child processes by suspicious parent applications or scripting environments such as PowerShell, CMD, WScript, MSHTA, or Office documents (Winword, Excel). This behavior is often indicative of malicious document execution, file-less malware techniques, or drive-by download attempts.

Detects the execution of PowerShell or PowerShell Core (pwsh) triggered by common Windows shell applications (explorer, mshta, wscript, cscript) where the command line contains indicators associated with the downloading of VelvetCake stager files, including specific GitHub raw content URLs or AppData paths referencing known stager filenames.

007
Detects the VelvetCake malware installation and operational pattern, which utilizes a scheduled task named 'OneDriveUpdateScheduler' to execute PowerShell scripts ('update1.ps1' or 'update2.ps1'). These scripts periodically retrieve modules or payloads from external infrastructure, specifically hardcoded C2 IPs or a dedicated GitHub repository.

Detects instances where the Node.js runtime process (node.exe) spawns a command shell (cmd.exe) or PowerShell (powershell.exe). This pattern is frequently used by malicious Node.js-based applications, RATs, or web shells to execute arbitrary commands on a compromised host.

109
This rule detects the suspicious combination of PowerShell scripts executing download commands (Invoke-WebRequest, etc.) while initiated by scripting hosts (wscript.exe, cscript.exe), followed by activity associated with remote support tools (LogMeIn, ConnectWise, etc.). It also identifies network connections associated with these remote management platforms, suggesting potential unauthorized remote access or tool staging.

307
Detects the execution of known Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software installers or command-line arguments when invoked by PowerShell processes. This behavior is often indicative of malicious post-compromise activity where an adversary uses legitimate remote access tools to establish persistent command-and-control access.

This rule detects file and process activity originating from or involving specific directories and filenames associated with 'Agta' software, including temporary files such as PowerShell scripts and XML tasks. This behavior is indicative of potential unauthorized use of backup or testing utilities for malicious purposes, such as script execution or task manipulation.

Detects the creation of files with specific naming patterns (starting with 'agta_av_' for PowerShell scripts or 'agta_task_' for XML files) within the Windows SystemTemp directory. This behavior is indicative of potential staging of malicious scripts or scheduled task definitions by adversaries.

Detects the Kothamine post-installation technique where npm/node spawns PowerShell to reflectively load a .NET assembly stager into memory. This behavior is followed by the PowerShell process spawning anomalous instances of RuntimeBroker.exe or svchost.exe. These spawned processes exhibit suspicious characteristics, such as executing from non-standard file paths, having missing command-line arguments (like the required '-k' for svchost), or having an illegitimate parent process (powershell.exe) instead of standard system parents like services.exe or wininit.exe.

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.
