4,463 detections

Detects instances where web server or application-related processes (pc-app, java, pc-tomcat, PCClient) spawn command shell interpreters (cmd, powershell, pwsh). This behavior is often indicative of exploitation of a web application vulnerability, such as remote code execution.

This rule detects the execution of a malicious PowerShell command chain initiated by explorer.exe, consistent with the PlugX malware infection sequence. The detection monitors for specific command-line arguments, including the use of curl for file downloads, tar for extraction, and the launching of associated malicious executables like 'GRrte.exe' following the execution of a shortcut file named 'OIC_Invitation_General_Official.lnk'.

Detects execution of PowerShell with bypassed execution policy used to download or copy files from remote locations using curl.exe and Copy-Item. This pattern is commonly associated with file staging or retrieving malicious payloads from external URLs, including specific paths.

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell activity including the use of PowerShell to invoke 'curl.exe' for data transfer or the creation of randomly named executables (6-10 characters) within the 'AppData\Local\Temp' directory, which is a common indicator of file staging or malware execution.

Detects the use of PowerShell command-line arguments designed to bypass or weaken execution policy restrictions. This includes setting the policy to 'Unrestricted' or 'Bypass' within a specific process scope, which is a common technique used by attackers to execute unsigned or malicious scripts.

Detects instances where PowerShell rapidly cycles through a known list of Microsoft-signed .NET binary utilities (LOLBins) located in .NET framework directories, within a short duration. This behavior is consistent with resiliency-spray techniques, such as those used by Veil#Drop, to find an available binary to host an injected .NET assembly.

Detects the use of PowerShell commands that leverage Reflection.Assembly.Load, a common technique for loading .NET assemblies directly into memory. This behavior is often associated with fileless malware, reflective DLL injection, or obfuscated payloads attempting to bypass security controls like AMSI.

This rule detects the manual instantiation of PowerShell ScriptBlock objects via the '::Create' method. This technique is commonly used by malicious PowerShell scripts and offensive security tools to bypass traditional command-line logging by executing code dynamically in memory, often avoiding disk-based signatures.

Detects post-infection data harvesting behavior associated with PureLogs Stealer. The rule monitors specific LOLBins (.NET binaries) and suspected masqueraded payloads (e.g., syscall.exe) as they attempt to access browser credential, cookie, or web data files from Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. It also tracks the creation of these suspicious processes when invoked by scripting interpreters like PowerShell, wscript, or cscript.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with hidden window style and long Base64 or encoded command strings, which is a common technique used by attackers to execute obfuscated malicious scripts while minimizing visibility on the endpoint.

This rule detects suspicious activity where a node.exe process, often associated with a node-pty terminal emulation, launches common Windows command-line shells (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) from specific file paths or directories. This behavior is indicative of a Node.js-based Remote Access Trojan (RAT) or shell spawning mechanism being used to establish command and control or persistence on a Windows host.

Detects modifications to the Windows Explorer RunMRU registry key where values contain suspicious commands such as 'powershell', 'curl', or long base64-encoded strings, indicating potential command execution or persistence attempts.

Detects instances where the Steam service (steamservice.exe) is executing suspicious child processes such as command interpreters or binaries located in unusual paths like Temp, Downloads, or AppData, often indicating an attempt to hide malicious activity under a trusted process.

This rule detects command line patterns associated with common Impacket tools (wmiexec, psexec, smbexec) executed via Windows processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or via network connections to ports 445 and 135 initiated by Python processes. These tools are frequently used by adversaries for lateral movement, remote service execution, and command execution on compromised systems.

Detects the loading of amsi.dll by common .NET loader processes, which may indicate attempts to patch or bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in memory. The rule monitors for image load events of amsi.dll and correlates them with process creation events of known loaders such as powershell.exe, rundll32.exe, and others.

Detects the Kimsuky APT-C-55 'Stella_Gary' attack chain, where PowerShell is used to download a JavaScript verification script from an external C2 (InfinityFree), followed by the execution of that script via cscript.exe in temporary directories. This behavior is used to bypass anti-bot mechanisms and retrieve secondary payloads from hardcoded C2 infrastructure.

This rule monitors process creation events for common command-line obfuscation patterns used to evade detection. It flags suspicious usage of encoding (e.g., base64), character manipulation (e.g., caret char insertion, case randomization), and scripting-related concatenation or dynamic reassembly techniques within cmd, powershell, or script host commands.

Detects instances where Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) spawns PowerShell with heavily obfuscated command lines, characterized by caret-obfuscation and execution policy bypass flags. This pattern is characteristic of ClickFix social engineering, where a user is tricked into pasting malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog.
