4,463 detections

Detects suspicious PowerShell execution initiated by explorer.exe containing encoded commands, correlated with concurrent activity in the Windows RunMRU registry key or execution of rundll32.exe referencing 'WindowsUpdate.log'. This pattern is frequently used to mask malicious activity and maintain stealth during fileless execution or persistence operations.

This rule detects suspicious activity involving the creation of scheduled tasks for persistence using command-line arguments indicative of tool execution (e.g., chisel, powershell) or the direct execution of hidden PowerShell scripts intended to bypass execution policy.

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.

This rule detects potential web shell creation on a Microsoft Exchange server by monitoring for suspicious child processes spawned by the IIS web server process (w3wp.exe) that correlate with the creation or modification of web-accessible script files (.aspx, .ashx, .asp, .dll) within the Exchange virtual directories (ecp, owa, aspnet_client). This pattern is consistent with common post-exploitation activities used by attackers to gain persistent access via web shells.

Detects the execution of common discovery commands like 'whoami' combined with system information gathering commands (tasklist, ver, uname) when initiated by an application named 'pc-app.exe'. This pattern is frequently observed during the reconnaissance phase of an attack.

This rule detects potentially malicious child processes spawned by Visual Studio Code (Code.exe) when using VS Code tasks (tasks.json). It identifies suspicious CLI arguments often associated with downloading, executing, or obfuscating scripts (e.g., PowerShell, curl, python, mshta) that are not part of standard development workflows like npm, yarn, or git, which are explicitly filtered out as noise.

Detects uncommon or suspicious child processes spawning from a WSL process. This could indicate an attempt to evade parent/child relationship detections or persistence attempts via cron using WSL.

Detects the execution of hidden, base64-encoded PowerShell commands spawned directly from explorer.exe, a pattern observed in the CRPx0 ClickFix campaign where attackers trick users into pasting malicious commands into the Windows Run dialog.

Detects host and user discovery commands (whoami, hostname, systeminfo, wmic) executed within a 15-minute window following a suspected CRPx0 ransomware execution event, identified by either encoded PowerShell or curl-to-bash activity.

Detects instances where the Windows Management Instrumentation service (wmiprvse.exe) launches suspicious command-line interfaces or interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, cscript, etc.), or executes scripts from sensitive/temporary directories. The rule includes exclusions for common management tools to reduce noise.

Detects instances where PowerShell or PowerShell ISE performs suspicious process injection activities, specifically targeting executables such as csc.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, or SearchIndexer.exe, or utilizes specific remote thread/memory allocation functions.

Detects PowerShell command lines that attempt to hide the console window by calling ShowWindowAsync from user32.dll while assigning a randomly generated GUID as the window title. This technique is used to evade detection by keeping malicious PowerShell activity invisible to the user, as seen in recent StealC infostealer loader chains.

Detects PowerShell processes executing [Reflection.Assembly]::Load to load .NET assemblies directly into memory. This behavior is commonly used by fileless loaders such as StealC to execute malicious payloads while avoiding disk-based artifacts.

Detects malicious PowerShell activity using the -ExecutionPolicy Bypass flag combined with caret obfuscation or indicators related to known malicious infrastructure used in ClickFix-style social engineering campaigns. The rule specifically monitors for attempts to download or execute configuration.ps1 from identified attacker domains and IP addresses.

Detects execution of PowerShell commands containing suspicious arguments (e.g., encoded commands, download cradles) initiated by scheduled task binaries (svchost.exe, taskeng.exe, schtasks.exe) or involving specific suspicious strings associated with identified threat activity.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with hidden window styles and encoded command arguments initiated directly from explorer.exe. This pattern is often indicative of malicious activity, such as fileless malware execution or obfuscated script delivery, where an attacker attempts to blend in with standard user interactions.

Detects anomalous command-line arguments and process injection behaviors associated with the Sogou IME protocol handler (biz_helper.exe). The rule monitors for malicious argument injection (e.g., embedded scripts, URLs pointing to non-Sogou domains) and correlates these events with suspicious child processes or network activity, consistent with techniques observed in the GRAYRABBIT / UNC3569 threat activity.
