Detects CI/CD runners utilizing inline base64 decoding to execute malware payloads, specifically looking for processes that use 'base64 -d' in their command line and also initiate network connections to a known malicious IP address (216.126.225.129) while using 'curl' or 'wget'.

Detects instances where FFmpeg media processing tools spawn interactive shell processes. This behavior is highly indicative of successful remote code execution (RCE) via CVE-2026-8461 (PixelSmash), where an attacker hijacks the AVBuffer struct to call libc's system() function.

Detects potential RondoDox botnet infection attempts by monitoring for the execution of common command-line tools (wget, busybox, curl) using specific flags (-qO-, -s) to download and pipe remote scripts from the known C2 IP 45.92.1.50 directly into a shell interpreter for execution.

Identifies Python-based LLM agents (LangChain, etc.) blindly passing unsanitized, prompt-injected strings to native command shells (cmd, bash). This rule specifically looks for Python processes initiating command shell executions where the command line of the shell contains common data exfiltration or remote access tools like curl, wget, nc, or base64.

Detects the execution of the 'stat' command with specific arguments ('-f', '%Su', '/dev/console') which is indicative of the AMOS Stealer attempting to pivot user context to the active console user. This activity is typically performed by the '~/.agent' script associated with the malware.

Shebangs (#!) are native to Unix-like operating systems (macOS and Linux). Standard Windows consoles (Command Prompt and PowerShell) do not natively use them. However, they do work on Windows when using tools such as the Python Launcher, Git Bash, Cygwin, or Unix-like environments such as WSL. In simple terms, a Shebang tells the operating system which interpreter should execute a script. For example: #!/usr/bin/python3

For this query, I would recommend performing some threat hunting first and creating a whitelist for known false positives or trusted devices (for example, devices managed by developers). Once the detection is properly tuned, it can be a good way to monitor the download or import of Shebang files on suspicious directories, making it a strong candidate for a threat detection rule.

Detects reverse shell commands commonly established by SPECTRALVIPER to connect back to Miasma C2 infrastructure over /dev/tcp. This rule specifically looks for process creation events where the command line contains a bash, sh, or zsh command initiating an interactive shell and redirecting I/O to a /dev/tcp connection to an IP address and port, then redirecting stderr to stdout.

Detects Python executing OS commands spawned directly from the deserialization of a poisoned Pickle model file. This rule correlates process creation events where 'python.exe' initiates a command interpreter ('cmd.exe', 'sh', 'bash') with file access events to common Pickle file extensions ('.pkl', '.pickle', '.pth', '.bin').

Detects Node.js or Bun executing specific hidden setup files indicative of the Miasma payload being triggered by IDE configuration files (Cursor, Claude, Gemini, VSCode). This rule looks for process execution where the filename is 'node.exe', 'node', 'bun.exe', 'bun', or common shells ('cmd.exe', 'powershell.exe', 'pwsh.exe', 'bash', 'sh', 'zsh') and the command line contains specific Miasma payload patterns like '.github/setup.js', '.claude/setup.mjs', or 'bun run' with '.config/index.js'.

Detects suspicious child processes spawned by Langflow or n8n workflow services, indicating potential unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploitation. The rule specifically looks for these applications (or their underlying node/python processes) spawning common shell processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, bash, etc.) which then execute commands typically associated with RCE payload retrieval or execution (wget, curl, Invoke-WebRequest, base64, iex, Invoke-Expression).

This rule detects events generated by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules in either Audit or Block mode.
(**Toggle by commenting out line 94/95. Default is both Audit & Block**).
It covers all 19 ASR rules by matching ActionType patterns or falling back to GUIDs found in AdditionalFields. The rule extracts the friendly name of the ASR rule, the mode (Audit/Block), and relevant process information.

This rule is especially noisy when ran over an entire environment. It's recommended to scope using Audit/Block, Machine Group, and filtering to the rules you want by commenting others out.

Detects suspicious network connections to 'sfrclak.com' on port 8000 or command-line activity involving 'curl' targeting 'packages.npm.org' on port 8000, potentially indicating malicious activity such as malware download or command and control communication. The rule specifically looks for various command-line patterns including 'cmd.exe' with PowerShell scripts, 'python' scripts, or 'com.apple.act.mond' related commands.
