This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Ransomware continues to hit healthcare, critical services. There is also a related blog.
Robbinhood is ransomware that has been involved in several high-profile incidents, including a 2019 attack on the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Robbinhood operators often employ a distinctive defense evasion technique, where they load a vulnerable driver on to a target and exploit it, in order to turn off security software -- essentially using the driver as malware.
The following query detects a late stage of this technique, when the operator is issuing commands to turn off the driver.
For a query that detects an earlier stage of this technique, see Detect loading of vulnerable drivers by Robbinhood ransomware campaign.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Qakbot blight lingers, seeds ransomware
Qakbot is malware that steals login credentials from banking and financial services. It has been deployed against small businesses as well as major corporations. Some outbreaks have involved targeted ransomware campaigns that use a similar set of techniques. Links to related queries are listed under See also.
The following query detects if an instance of Qakbot has attempted to overwrite its original binary.

'This query looks for Microsoft Defender Antivirus detections with the family names used by KNOTWEED'
This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Solorigate supply chain attack. Please note that these attacks are currently known as the Nobelium campaign.
Microsoft detects the 2020 SolarWinds supply chain attack implant and its other components as part of a campaign by the Nobelium activity group. Nobelium is the threat actor behind the attack against SolarWinds, which was previously referred to as Solorigate.
Nobelium silently added malicious code to legitimate software updates for Orion, which is IT monitoring software provided by SolarWinds. In this way, malicious dynamic link libraries (DLLs) were distributed to SolarWinds customers.
The following query detects events when SolarWinds processes attempted to launch the cmd.exe command prompt using the 'echo' command. Using 'echo' in this way is suspicious, as it is an indirect way of issuing commands, and may not be readily detected by certain kinds of security solutions.
More Nobelium-related queries can be found listed under the See also section of this document.

Operation Soft Cell operators sometimes use legitimate web server processes to launch commands, especially for network discovery and user/owner discovery. The following query detects activity of this kind.

LemonDuck is an actively updated and robust malware primarily known for its botnet and cryptocurrency mining objectives. First discovered in 2019, LemonDuck has since adopted more sophisticated behavior and escalated its operations in 2021. Today, beyond using resources for its traditional bot and mining activities, LemonDuck steals credentials, removes security controls, spreads via emails, moves laterally, and ultimately drops more tools for human-operated activity.

Detects potentially suspicious child processes launched via the ScreenConnect client service. This rule specifically looks for common Windows utilities being executed from a temporary ScreenConnect directory, which can indicate post-exploitation activity by an adversary using the remote access tool.
This rule detects the creation or execution of files that have been identified as malicious by Google Safe Browsing. It correlates process launch or file creation events with a list of known malicious file SHA256 hashes provided by the Google Safe Browsing service, specifically looking for files categorized as 'SOFTWARE_MALICIOUS' with 'CRITICAL' severity.
