This rule detects a sequence of events where a host initiates a network connection on port 1313 (a common port associated with certain web-based C2 or exploitation frameworks) followed shortly by an outbound network connection initiated by PowerShell within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of a post-exploitation phase where an initial entry point leverages a malicious script or shell to establish persistent communication.
Identifies network connections to known ShinyHunters IP addresses or domains associated with the recent Oracle PeopleSoft exploitation campaign. This rule monitors both endpoint network events and perimeter firewall/proxy logs for outbound communication to the specified malicious infrastructure.
Detects the suspicious creation of executable files in C:\ProgramData with randomized paths, typically associated with the SystemBC backdoor. The detection rule correlates this file creation event with co-occurring suspicious activities indicative of ransomware operations, such as the creation of known ransomware-related files (e.g., decryptor notes) or signs of lateral movement via non-standard network traffic and SMB activity.
This rule identifies suspicious outbound network beaconing by analyzing flow statistics for consistency in interval and payload size. It flags processes that demonstrate periodic communication (heartbeats) to external endpoints on non-standard ports. The detection logic calculates a 'beacon_score' based on the consistency of the communication interval, small average payload sizes, low variance in payload sizes, and the number of connections. Additional weighting is applied to connections made by typically non-network processes (e.g., svchost, explorer, wscript) or those connecting to ports associated with known malware like SystemBC.
Detects instances where AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) spawn shell interpreters or scripting runtimes that subsequently initiate outbound network connections to non-private IP addresses. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity, such as credential theft or workspace trust bypass exploits (e.g., CVE-2026-12957), where an attacker leverages an AI coding assistant to execute arbitrary code. The rule excludes common build and test runner processes to minimize false positives.
This rule detects suspicious activities originating from Python processes spawned by development tools like VS Code, Node.js, or npm. It flags potential credential access when such processes attempt to read sensitive files (e.g., browser profiles, SSH keys, cloud configuration files) or perform suspicious network communication to external, non-standard ports, which may indicate data exfiltration or command-and-control behavior.
Detects instances where a process, other than known benign applications, writes a screen capture image file (BMP, JPG, JPEG, or PNG) to a temporary directory, followed by a network connection to an external IP address within two minutes by the same process.
This rule identifies instances of PowerShell executing with an encoded command followed immediately (within 300 seconds) by an outbound network connection to a non-standard port or non-internal IP address. This behavior is indicative of a remote access tool or reverse shell establishing command and control (C2) communication.
This rule detects outgoing TCP traffic that initiates a SOCKS5 handshake (indicated by the byte sequence |05 01 00|) on destination ports other than standard web ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443). This behavior is characteristic of TOR client traffic attempting to establish an anonymous connection to an external TOR relay or node via non-standard network ports.
Detects network connections resolving to specific domains or UUID-based API endpoints used by Lorem Ipsum's primary C2 cluster following the late-May ClickFix pivot. This rule identifies known command and control (C2) infrastructure by matching specific domain names and a UUID-based API endpoint pattern in network connection URLs.
This rule detects suspicious network connections originating from internal IP addresses to common service ports (DNS, SMB, RDP, WinRM) on remote, non-internal IP addresses. It flags instances where a single process on a device makes 10 or more such connections within an hour, which could indicate reconnaissance, lateral movement, or data exfiltration attempts.
This rule detects devices making a high volume of successful network connections to GitHub's API endpoints (api.github.com or api.releases). A count of 5 or more successful connections within an hour from a single device is considered suspicious and could indicate data exfiltration, automated tooling, or unusual development activity.
This rule monitors for node.exe processes running from the AppData directory initiating multiple network connections to non-private (external) IP addresses over common web ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443). Running Node.js from user-writable temporary directories can be an indicator of malicious activity or the execution of unauthorized web applications attempting command and control communication.
This rule detects malicious activity associated with the TinyRCT backdoor, specifically focusing on the AppDomainManager injection technique. It monitors for the presence of known malicious file names, specific process command-line arguments involving VMware paths, and known file hashes connected to the chrome_setup.zip attack chain, as well as network communication with known malicious IP addresses.
Detects the SearchLeak (CVE-2026-42824) exploit, where an attacker uses a prompt-injected M365 Copilot URL to force the assistant to search the victim's mailbox for sensitive authentication information such as MFA codes, OTPs, or security passcodes. The rule correlates an external HTTP request containing the malicious URL with a subsequent Exchange search query initiated by the Copilot service within a 2-minute window.
This rule detects network connections from devices to a specific IP address (62.102.148.212) and a set of associated ports (37393, 45839, 38471, 12345, 4444, 5555). This IP address and these ports are known indicators of compromise for the Remcos Remote Access Trojan (RAT) Command and Control (C2) infrastructure. Detection of such connections indicates potential Remcos RAT activity within the environment.
This rule detects outbound network connections to the specific IP address 38.60.253.35 on port 8084. Such traffic is highly suspicious and indicative of potential communication with a Command and Control (C2) server.
Detects DNS resolution and network connections to known infrastructure associated with the StegoAd campaign, including exfiltration (mitarchive.info) and C2 (liveupdt.com, dealctr.com, ipaglov.com) domains. The rule monitors activity from common browser and scripting engine processes.
This rule detects abnormal, high-frequency network connection patterns originating from common web browser processes (msedge.exe, chrome.exe, brave.exe). It identifies scenarios where a browser process makes repetitive connections to a very small set of non-standard external domains, excluding common legitimate browser-related traffic. This behavior is indicative of background polling or C2 activity, such as that observed in malicious browser extensions (e.g., StegoAd) following an activation period.
Detects processes making HTTP/HTTPS requests to localhost on ports 40341 or 40342 for '/metadata'. This pattern can indicate local service discovery, inter-process communication, or potentially malicious activity attempting to interact with local services, possibly for credential access or privilege escalation.
This rule detects network connections from devices to a predefined list of known malicious domains. It identifies attempts by internal systems to communicate with command and control servers, phishing sites, or other infrastructure associated with threat actors.
