Detects the execution of PowerShell commands that enumerate files within sensitive user directories such as Desktop, Downloads, Documents, or OneDrive, using common cmdlets like Get-ChildItem with recurrence or filtering. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to discover or stage files for exfiltration.

Detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets and parameters to perform system, hardware, and external drive discovery. This includes querying volume information, disk/partition details, and checking for removable or specific bus-type media (USB, SD, MMC), which is commonly associated with reconnaissance activities by an adversary.

This rule detects the execution of cmd.exe or powershell.exe where the command line arguments involve the deletion or renaming of specific file names potentially associated with unauthorized activities or malware components. It looks for common command-line utilities (del, ren) being used by command shells on specific files that may indicate artifact cleanup or staging.

This rule detects the use of PowerShell to download a specific payload associated with the RustyShade malware from a Backblaze B2 cloud storage bucket. It monitors command lines containing 'wget' or 'Invoke-WebRequest' targeting 'f005.backblazeb2.com' and files named 'DriverInstaller.zip'.

Detects instances where the process 'UBPUpdater.Exe' spawns a process or command line utilizing 'UBPPatch.Psh'. The rule highlights that 'UBPPatch.Psh' is masquerading as a non-executable PowerShell script while likely operating as a malicious binary or PowerShell executable.

Detects a specific pattern associated with the VioletRAT stage-2 loader, where cmd.exe executes a randomly-named batch file from a temporary directory, which subsequently launches a hidden PowerShell process designed to download or reflectively load a .NET assembly.

This rule detects potential malicious activity by correlating device events against a known set of malicious file hashes, domains, and URLs. It identifies files with known malicious hashes, network connections to known malicious domains, and command-line processes attempting to download files from known malicious URLs using common living-off-the-land tools like PowerShell, curl, or wget.

Detects MayaBot's scheduled-task persistence chain by correlating two signals on the same device within a 60-minute window: (1) schtasks.exe creating a daily task referencing a hidden batch script (update.bat/backup.bat/firewall-update.bat) under AppData\Local, spawned from wscript.exe/cscript.exe/cmd.exe, and (2) cmd.exe launching a hidden-window PowerShell process referencing the same batch scripts under AppData\Local. Requiring both signals together, anchored to the AppData\Local path, sharply reduces false positives compared to alerting on either behavior alone.

Detects instances where PowerShell scripts are executed via the Windows Task Scheduler from within potential staging directories (ProgramData with randomized folder names). The rule identifies execution that uses common PowerShell obfuscation flags (e.g., -EncodedCommand) and requires secondary hardening bypass flags (e.g., -WindowStyle hidden), followed by correlated network activity to a specific suspicious C2 domain.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with encoded commands originating from scripting engines wscript.exe or cscript.exe. The command line contains indicators of malicious activity such as references to external domains, archive expansion, or specific executable payloads.

Detects instances where PowerShell is executed by a process masquerading as a common application (e.g., Telegram, WhatsApp, KeePass) to write a registry run key for persistence. This behavior is indicative of malicious installers or secondary stage delivery.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity where a Python-based process or a PyInstaller-compiled executable invokes a command shell (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or command execution via 'os.popen', followed by a network connection to 'api.telegram.org' within a 60-second window. This behavior is often characteristic of malware or tools using Telegram's API as a command-and-control (C2) channel or for data exfiltration.
