Detects the execution of the "net use" command to mount a WebDAV server and then immediately execute some content in it. As seen being used in malicious LNK files
Detects the use of various CLI utilities exfiltrating data via web requests
Detects a suspicious child process of a Microsoft HTML Help (HH.exe)
Detects Windows command lines that miss a space before or after the /c flag when running a command using the cmd.exe.
This could be a sign of obfuscation of a fat finger problem (typo by the developer).

Detects a suspicious or uncommon parent processes of PowerShell
Commandline to launch powershell with a base64 payload
Detects remote access to the LSASS process via WinRM. This could be a sign of credential dumping from tools like mimikatz.
Detects the invocation of PowerShell commands with references to classes from the "System.Security.Cryptography" namespace.
The PowerShell namespace "System.Security.Cryptography" provides classes for on-the-fly encryption and decryption.
These can be used for example in decrypting malicious payload for defense evasion.

Detects Obfuscated Powershell via use Rundll32 in Scripts
Detects Obfuscated use of Environment Variables to execute PowerShell
Detects the execution of PowerShell via the creation of a named pipe starting with PSHost
'This query dynamically identifies Exchange servers and then looks for instances where the IIS worker process initiates a call out to a remote URL using either cmd.exe or powershell.exe.
This behaviour was described as post-compromise behaviour following exploitation of CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082, this pattern of activity was use to download additional tools to the server. This suspicious activity is generic.'

Identify email exfiltration conducted by PowerShell.
'Detects request to potentially harmful file types (.ps1, .bat, .vbs, etc.).'
Look for adding a user to Administrators in remote desktop users via PowerShell.
These queries was originally published in the threat analytics report, Attacks on gov't, think tanks, NGOs.
As described further in Analysis of cyberattack on U.S. think tanks, non-profits, public sector by unidentified attackers, there was a very large spear-phishing campaign launched in November 2019.
The attackers would gain access to a target by having the user click on a link to a compromised website and download a .zip archive.
Once established on a target's device, the attackers used a malicious DLL named cyzfc.dat to execute additional payloads. They would call a function in the malicious DLL via the legitimate Windows process, rundll32.exe, to connect directly to their command-and-control (C2) servers.
The following queries detect activity associated with the malicious DLL, cyzfc.dat., used in this campaign.

This query will detect encoded powershell based on the parameters passed during process creation. This query will also work if the PowerShell executable is renamed or tampered with since detection is based solely on a regex of the launch string.
This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Motivated miners.
Doublepulsar is a backdoor developed by the National Security Agency (NSA). First disclosed in 2017, it is now used by many malicious actors. Software patches are available.
The following query detects activity broadly associated with campaigns that use DoublePulsar to exploit web servers.
See Detect DoublePulsar execution for a query that detects possible DoublePulsar execution events.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, "Exchange Server zero-days exploited in the wild".
In early March 2021, Microsoft released patches for four different zero-day vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Exchange Server. The vulnerabilities were being used in a coordinated attack. For more information on the vulnerabilities, visit the following links:
1. CVE-2021-26855
2. CVE-2021-26857
3. CVE-2021-26858
4. CVE-2021-27065
The following query finds evidence of Base64-encoded commands used by the Nishang penetration testing framework to load a reverse TCP shell. This might indicate an attacker has remote access to the device.
