Detects PowerShell processes executing commands that combine `Invoke-Expression` (iex) and `Invoke-RestMethod` (irm) with an HTTP or HTTPS URL. This combination is often used by adversaries to download and execute malicious scripts or payloads directly from the internet, without writing them to disk. The rule includes exclusions for known legitimate installers like the UV installer launched by trusted processes.

This rule detects unusual network connections from processes to legitimate service endpoints that are commonly abused for Command and Control (C2) activities (LOLC2). It specifically looks for connections to services like Telegram, Slack, Discord, GitHub, Google APIs, Pastebin, Dropbox, and others, originating from processes that are not recognized as legitimate applications for those services, and not from common system processes or standard program file paths. This helps identify potential adversary communication channels masquerading as legitimate traffic.

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.

Detects when 'Cursor.exe' (a legitimate application) spawns common command-line utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, curl.exe, wget.exe, certutil.exe, bitsadmin.exe) with command-line arguments indicative of downloading files from the internet (e.g., containing 'http://', 'https://', 'ftp://', '-o', '-OutFile', 'iwr', 'DownloadString', 'DownloadFile'). This could indicate malicious activity where 'Cursor.exe' is being abused to facilitate ingress tool transfer or execute malicious payloads.

This rule detects network connections initiated by specific executables (clawdbot, node, moltbot, openclaw) from a local port (18789, 3000, or 8080) to a remote IP address that is not localhost, not within private IP ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12), and not within the 17.0.0.0/8 CIDR block. This could indicate command and control (C2) communication or unauthorized data exfiltration by potentially malicious bots or applications.

This rule detects potential C2 beaconing behavior by identifying devices that make a high number of periodic outbound connections (20 or more within an hour) to a single external IP address on common web and C2-related ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443, 4444, 5555, 8888, 9001). The rule summarizes these connections by device, remote IP, and initiating process, highlighting sustained communication patterns indicative of command and control.

This rule detects various stages of an attack chain, starting from an Apache ActiveMQ exploit (CVE-2023-46604) leading to LockBit-style ransomware. It identifies process creation anomalies (java.exe spawning certutil.exe for downloads), network connections to known Metasploit C2 infrastructure, the presence of specific ransomware file hashes, and attempts to clear Windows event logs, all indicative of the described attack scenario.

This rule detects indicators associated with the RenEngine campaign, which involves the deployment of HijackLoader, Lumma Stealer, and ACR Stealer. Detection is based on specific MD5 hashes of known malicious files, filenames used in the campaign, and command and control (C2) domains identified as part of the infrastructure.

Detects processes that access Google Sheets API endpoints and parameters described in GRIDTIDE reporting,
where the initiating process is not a common web browser. This may indicate abuse of Sheets as a C2 channel.

This rule detects outbound network connections from devices to IP addresses identified as malicious by a threat intelligence feed. It joins device network events with threat intelligence indicators, specifically looking for successful connections or connection requests to IPs with a confidence score greater than 50. The alert provides details about the device, the remote IP, the initiating process, and the threat intelligence context.

This rule detects activities related to the DKnife gateway, which is associated with Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) attacks. It identifies the creation of specific DKnife process names (dknife.bin, sslmm.bin, postapi.bin, rules.bin, sshapi.bin, inotify.bin, curlapi.bin), file events involving DKnife configuration artifacts (rules.conf, sslmm.cfg, url.cfg), and the presence of specific marker strings ("dkimsi=", "460110672021628", "PASSWORD") in logs or captured payloads. The rule aims to identify the presence and activity of DKnife components on Linux systems.

OysterLoader uses a Windows scheduled task to keep itself running. It creates a task with a name that looks like a normal security or updater tool, so it blends in. The task runs repeatedly in the background, helping the malware come back even after a restart and making it harder to notice or remove.
