This rule detects execution of a PowerShell code through the sqlps.exe utility, which is included in the standard set of utilities supplied with the MSSQL Server.
Script blocks are not logged in this case, so this utility helps to bypass protection mechanisms based on the analysis of these logs.

Detects suspicious process execution chains involving 'regsvr32.exe' followed by 'mshta.exe', 'powershell.exe', or 'rundll32.exe', especially when 'regsvr32.exe' is launched from common user download or application data directories. This pattern is often indicative of malware execution or living-off-the-land techniques.

Masqueraded wt.exe - Branch A: Impostor Binary Named wt.exe Detects a process with image name wt.exe whose OriginalFileName does NOT match wt.exe — i.e., a renamed binary masquerading as Windows Terminal.

Branch B: Legitimate wt.exe from Non-Standard Path Detects execution of a binary with OriginalFileName=wt.exe running from outside the expected Windows Terminal directories (WindowsApps).

Detects PowerShell execution that interacts with GitHub API or raw content endpoints and includes a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) in the command line. This combination can indicate malicious activity such as data exfiltration, code deployment, or C2 communication, especially if originating from an unexpected host or user.

On March 11, 2026, the global medical technology giant Stryker experienced a severe cyberattack when Iranian-linked hackers called Handala Hack affiliated with Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) used wiper malware to permanently erase data from its network. Based On the List of IOC’s seen from the previous attacks from the threat group I’ve done threat hunt.

Just reading about a fake Boeing RFQ was enough to trigger a full attack chain — starting from a DOCX and moving through RTF, JavaScript, PowerShell and even a full Python runtime, ending with Cobalt Strike running in memory.

Nothing particularly new in terms of techniques, but the way everything is chained together makes it effective and easy to miss. It relies on tools and formats we see daily.

Being focus on catch the IoA Pattern, I created the KQL Detection below. PowerShell disabling TLS validation before downloading the payload, it’s a small step, but a very useful one from a detection point of view.

Detects suspicious process execution originating from npm postinstall scripts, which can indicate a supply chain compromise. Specifically, this rule looks for npm, node, or npm.cmd processes with 'postinstall' or 'plain-crypto-js' in their command line, spawning suspicious executables like curl, wget, python, bash, sh, cmd, powershell, or wt, or connecting to known malicious domains/IPs or specific file names associated with the 'plain-crypto-js' RAT dropper.

Detects the execution of PowerShell commands using the Remove-Item cmdlet to explicitly target and delete the :Zone.Identifier Alternate Data Stream (ADS). This technique is commonly used by adversaries to evade Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW) detection and make downloaded malicious files appear less suspicious.
