Detects PowerShell (powershell.exe or pwsh.exe) execution where an HTTP/HTTPS URL points directly to a dot-quad IPv4 address or a hex-encoded IPv4 address, excluding RFC1918 private ranges. Threat actors commonly use raw or hex IP literals to avoid domain filtering and deliver staged payloads.

Detects PowerShell execution patterns consistent with the ClickFix malware campaign, which uses obfuscated scripts to decrypt and reflectively load a .NET assembly in memory. This activity is detailed in Stage 2 of the infection chain. The query identifies command lines with combinations of keywords used for decoding, decryption, and in-memory execution, specifically looking for 'FromBase64String' combined with 'Reflection.Assembly' and 'Load' for reflective loading, 'FromBase64String' and '-bxor' for XOR decryption, or 'FromBase64String' and 'Invoke-Expression'/'IEX' for executing decoded scripts in memory.

Detects a PowerShell script that uses Invoke-WebRequest with custom headers to download a file, which is then executed via Start-Process. This technique is used by malware to bypass simple network filtering or for C2 authentication. It was observed in a campaign delivering multiple RAT families including AsyncRAT, DCRAT, and PUREHVNC.

Detects the execution of a hidden PowerShell process with a bypassed execution policy, spawned from a script host process (cscript.exe or wscript.exe). This behavior is indicative of a multi-stage dropper, as observed in the analysis of a batch file that uses a VBScript to launch a PowerShell stager invisibly.

Detects the execution of PowerShell by the Windows Script Host (wscript.exe or cscript.exe). This behavior is often associated with malicious JavaScript droppers that download and execute second-stage payloads, as seen in the delivery of malware like NanoCore RAT.

This rule detects instances where PowerShell (powershell.exe or pwsh.exe) spawns 'node.exe' with command-line arguments containing '-e' and the process path is located within the 'AppData\Roaming' or 'AppData\Local' directories. This behavior can be indicative of malicious activity, such as the execution of Node.js-based scripts or malware by PowerShell, potentially for persistence or further execution within user-specific application data folders.
