Detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference or Set-MpPreference) to modify Microsoft Defender exclusions (paths, processes, or extensions). This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to evade security detection by excluding malicious files or processes from being scanned by Microsoft Defender.
Detects web traffic containing indicators of 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks. These attacks present a fake 'CAPTCHA' or verification prompt to the user and instruct them to copy and paste a malicious script (involving PowerShell or mshta) into their system terminal.
Detects the spawning of suspicious child processes (powershell, cmd, node, wscript, cscript) by dependency management utilities (npm, go, terraform). Attackers often leverage malicious packages or configurations during the build or install phase to execute arbitrary code. The rule also monitors for suspicious command-line execution patterns, such as detached 'go run' operations, which may indicate malicious activity.
Detects execution of staged payloads within the %TEMP% directory initiated by processes associated with the Sauron Loader (rnpkeys.exe or processes running from ProgramData\keyroll). The rule monitors for common living-off-the-land binaries (rundll32.exe, regsvr32.exe, msiexec.exe, cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe) acting as task handlers for the loader.
Detects execution of staged payloads within the %TEMP% directory initiated by processes associated with the Sauron Loader (rnpkeys.exe or processes running from ProgramData\keyroll). The rule monitors for common living-off-the-land binaries (rundll32.exe, regsvr32.exe, msiexec.exe, cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe) acting as task handlers for the loader.
Detects the Sauron Loader malware utilizing the process rnpkeys.exe as a parent to spawn common LOLBins (Living-off-the-Land Binaries) or execute payloads from temporary directories. This behavior is indicative of a secondary stage execution chain typical of the Sauron Loader.
Detects instances where the rnpkeys process (likely used for GPG-related operations) spawns common Windows living-off-the-land binaries such as rundll32, regsvr32, msiexec, cmd, powershell, or wscript. It specifically monitors for patterns indicating potential script execution from temporary folders, the bypass of PowerShell execution policies, or the installation of products via msiexec, which may indicate malicious activity following initial compromise or delivery of a malicious payload.
Detects multiple, rapid execution sequences of Python or PIP utilities using the 'install' flag with specific common library names often used in reconnaissance or malicious activity. This activity is monitored by looking for repetitive installations of targeted packages within a short timeframe on the same endpoint, which may indicate automated tool deployment or preparation for malicious operations.
Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a user or system initiates a PowerShell script (update1.ps1) via Windows Explorer in close temporal proximity (within 5 minutes) to the execution of known update-related tasks or scripts (OneDriveUpdateScheduler or update1.vbs). This correlation aims to identify potential persistence or malicious activity masquerading as update processes.
Detects PowerShell processes using .NET screen capture libraries (System.Windows.Forms/Drawing) to generate image files in common staging directories like Temp or Public folders, which is a common pattern for malicious screen capture exfiltration.
Detects a suspicious execution chain where explorer.exe (typically via the Run dialog) executes PowerShell, which subsequently launches msiexec.exe to silently install the PuTTY SSH client. This sequence is characteristic of the 'ClickFix' technique, which uses social engineering to trick users into running malicious commands for remote access deployment.
Detects various indicators of compromise (IOCs) including known malicious file hashes, suspicious file names commonly associated with staging or initialization in web directories, and network communication to known malicious domains or URLs. It also monitors process execution command lines for references to these IOCs, excluding common browser processes.

It also monitors process execution command lines for references to these IOCs, excluding common browser processes.
This rule detects attempts to bypass PowerShell execution policies either through command-line arguments ('-ExecutionPolicy Bypass' or '-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted') or by modifying PowerShell execution policy registry keys. This behavior is commonly used by adversaries to execute unsigned or malicious scripts, circumventing default system security restrictions.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with the -NoProfile flag initiated by wscript.exe or cscript.exe, containing sleep/delay commands alongside network download functions. This pattern is characteristic of malware loaders or RMM phishing kits attempting to evade sandbox analysis before initiating a remote download.
Detects potential malicious activity where a process associated with a Claude agent (or a downloader utility) references a 'SKILL.md' configuration file. This behavior is indicative of a poisoned skill file being used to trigger unauthorized payload downloads or re-establish persistence.
Detects suspicious activities associated with ysoserial.net gadget chain exploitation targeting SharePoint's w3wp.exe process. The rule correlates the loading of specific .NET assemblies (PresentationFramework, System.Xaml, System.Data.Services) with the subsequent execution of command shells (cmd, powershell) or the presence of common ysoserial.net-related strings (ActivitySurrogateSelector, LosFormatter) within command lines originating from the w3wp.exe process, indicating a potential web shell.
This rule detects activity associated with the exploitation of PaperCut vulnerabilities. It looks for connections to known malicious IP addresses, the presence of specific credential harvesting tools, reconnaissance commands (whoami, tasklist) executed by the PaperCut application (pc-app.exe), suspicious PowerShell downloads of AnyDesk, and unauthorized access to PaperCut configuration files or log files containing known exploit strings.
Detects anomalous executions of ctfmon.exe that deviate from known-good parent process patterns, such as unexpected parent processes (e.g., script hosts, LOLBins) or execution from locations other than C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe. This rule is designed to help identify potential masquerading or process injection associated with exploitation attempts, including CVE-2026-45586.
Detects instances where a suspicious PowerShell, mshta, or pwsh command, typically involving download or obfuscation patterns, is launched as a child process of Windows Explorer within two minutes of a modification to the Explorer RunMRU registry key. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to achieve execution, often following user interaction or persistence triggers.
Detects instances where a Node.js process (node.exe) initiates command-line interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) with specific arguments or command lines associated with administrative or potentially obfuscated/automated script execution. This is a common pattern for post-exploitation activities or legitimate administrative automation.
