Detects the use of PowerShell to download string content from the internet and execute it immediately using Invoke-Expression (IEX). This is a common pattern for fileless malware delivery and secondary stage payload execution.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the initiating process is a script interpreter such as 'mshta.exe' or 'powershell.exe'. This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious payloads or the establishment of persistence.

Detects potential remote code execution (RCE) attempts targeting vulnerable Sub-Store instances (versions < 2.38.2). The detection identifies web browsers making network connections to local ports (38324) associated with Sub-Store, followed by the spawning of shell processes (cmd, powershell, bash, sh) by the Node.js process hosting the application.

Detects instances where the NW.js (Node-Webkit) framework binaries (nw.exe, node.exe) spawn common command-line interpreters or script-hosting utilities (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe) while executing associated application files like main.js or nw.pak. This behavior is indicative of potential exploitation of a browser-based application to gain shell access or execute arbitrary code on the host system.

Detects a specific pattern of PowerShell execution involving the download of files from a remote endpoint using parameters associated with Brazilian tax documents (NotaFiscal) to the Desktop directory, followed by immediate execution. The rule looks for a combination of hidden window style, Invoke-WebRequest, specific URL parameters (dl.php, NFe identifiers), and subsequent Start-Process calls, which is indicative of malware dropper activity.

Detects anomalous system reconnaissance activity performed using WMIC or PowerShell Get-WmiObject commands. The rule tracks distinct command-line executions per device and flags hosts where three or more unique reconnaissance commands are executed within a short timeframe, which is indicative of an adversary enumerating system configuration, hotfixes, or hardware details.

Detects instances where PowerShell is used to download an executable named 'svchost.exe' from an external IP address (103.86.86.244). The rule monitors for network connections to this IP, file creation events matching specific download patterns in fonts directories, and direct command-line arguments involving the suspicious IP and file path, indicating potential malware dropper activity.

This rule detects potentially malicious PowerShell execution patterns involving hidden windows, administrative elevation via 'Start-Process -Verb RunAs', and the targeting or execution of rsetup64.exe within specific system paths. It also flags execution chains where 'net session' commands, often used for discovery or local privilege verification, are piped to null and followed by or initiate the same target executables, suggesting lateral movement or persistence attempts.

Detects web server processes (e.g., w3wp.exe, nginx.exe, tomcat.exe) spawning command-line interpreters or utilities that could indicate remote code execution, web shell activity, or post-exploitation discovery/download attempts.

Detects the execution of command-line shells (cmd, powershell, pwsh) running under the SYSTEM context that were initiated by or associated with a process containing 'ShieldBreak' in its filename. This behavior is indicative of a suspicious or potentially malicious process (e.g., a security bypass tool) attempting to spawn elevated shells.

Detects a command shell (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, powershell_ise.exe, pwsh.exe) created with a SYSTEM SID whose immediate parent process is a POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED non-SYSTEM account running at Low/Medium integrity. Excludes known-benign SYSTEM-spawning binaries and blank-parent scheduled-task/service noise confirmed via live telemetry and attached evidence logs, and drops the prior TokenElevationTypeFull branch which mostly matched routine UAC-elevated admin activity rather than an actual SYSTEM token.

Detects evidence of sandbox or virtualization evasion by identifying discovery commands that query WMI hypervisor classes or common virtual machine hardware strings. This activity is considered a precursor (pre-detonation check) when followed by the execution of encoded PowerShell commands or Python scripts on the same host, which is characteristic of the CRPx0 ClickFix attack chain.

Detects PowerShell processes initiating network connections to known public DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) providers over port 443. This behavior is often associated with efforts to bypass standard organizational DNS logging and security controls by tunnelng DNS queries through encrypted HTTPS traffic.

Detects the execution of 'charmap.exe' from the Syswow64 directory where the process hierarchy indicates suspicious activity. The detection identifies a chain where PowerShell spawns 'conhost.exe', which in turn spawns a process from a temporary directory (interpreted as a renamed AutoIT executable) that then launches 'charmap.exe'. This pattern is indicative of a multi-stage obfuscated execution flow often used in malware dropper scenarios to bypass standard monitoring.
