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.
Detects the initialization of an alternative hidden shell environment via 'WindowsBackstageShell.exe' and its subsequent network connections. This activity is associated with the SilentCanvas operation.
Detects DNS lookups to Pastebin used for dead drop C2 configuration retrieval
Detects the execution of the SPECTRALVIPER binary or script, a core backdoor component in the Miasma toolkit used for persistent remote access and command execution. This rule specifically looks for process creation events where the filename or command line contains 'spectralviper'.
This rule detects anomalous network connections originating from common communication applications (Teams, Slack, Discord, Skype) to non-standard ports (not 80, 443, 8080, 8443) and to IP addresses not typically associated with Microsoft or other major cloud providers (e.g., not starting with 13. or 51.). It specifically looks for a high volume of such connections (10 or more within an hour) from a single process on a device, which could indicate protocol tunneling or the use of these applications for command and control.
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 detects unusual network beaconing activity from processes. It identifies processes that make more than 50 network connections within a 15-minute window to distinct remote IP addresses and ports, excluding common legitimate processes like svchost.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, and explorer.exe. The rule then enriches this information with the last seen time of the process.
This rule detects processes making a high volume of successful network connections to GitHub's raw content (raw.github.com). This behavior can be indicative of an adversary downloading tools, scripts, or other malicious content from GitHub, potentially as part of a command and control (C2) channel or for staging purposes. The rule counts connections per hour per initiating process filename and flags if the count exceeds 5.
This rule detects potential command and control (C2) beaconing activity by monitoring network events for specific URL patterns and user agent strings associated with known C2 frameworks like AzureVeil and Adaptix. It identifies beaconing if multiple devices communicate with the same remote IP address using these indicators within a 15-minute window, with more than 5 beacon counts and more than 1 distinct device.
This rule detects the use of TLS protocol on port 443 with a specific content signature, indicating potential Command and Control (C2) activity. It triggers an alert if 20 such connections are observed from the same source within 60 seconds.
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.
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.
Monitors for network connections originating from the VSCode extension host process to GitHub API endpoints immediately following a new extension installation. This may indicate token exfiltration or repository enumeration from a malicious extension.
This rule generates a comprehensive forensic timeline for a specific executable file, analyzing its origin (file creation/drops), execution context (process creation and child processes), network communications (outbound connections), and persistence mechanisms (registry modifications for run keys/startup and scheduled task creation/updates). It correlates events across different data sources based on the executable's file name or SHA256 hash.
This rule detects potential command and control (C2) communications over non-standard ports. It identifies devices that make a high number of network connections to distinct remote IP addresses on ports other than common ones (80, 443, 53, 22, 21, 25, 110, 143, 993, 995) and not to private IP ranges. The rule aggregates connection counts and distinct remote IPs over 15-minute intervals and flags activity where there are more than 30 connections and more than 2 distinct remote IPs.
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.
Detects unexpected outbound network connections from the ConfigurationRemotingServer.exe or WindowsPackageManagerServer.exe processes. Threat actors use WinGet DSC execution to establish reverse shells or download payloads. Network activity from these processes is highly unusual.
This rule detects potential Command and Control (C2) communication utilizing DNS at the application layer. It specifically looks for DNS queries and triggers an alert if a single source IP performs more than 30 DNS queries within a 60-second window, indicating a high frequency of DNS activity that could be indicative of C2.
Detects network connections to known HarborWatch C2 server IPs and associated fake-Amazon infrastructure domains, directly identifying compromised hosts communicating with this threat actor's infrastructure.
Detects potential Trickbot activity by searching for known Trickbot-related keywords ('trickbot', 'server=', 'botnet', 'moduleload') in process command lines, combined with network-related keywords ('http', 'port'). This rule specifically looks for Event ID 4688 (a process creation event in Windows Security Event Logs) and analyzes its CommandLine field.
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.
