This query identifies outbound network connections made by the notepad++.exe process. This is useful for hunting for suspicious activity, such as connections to malicious update servers or C2 channels, by baselining normal update and plugin activity.

This rule correlates multiple indicators of compromise (IOCs) across file, network, and process events to detect potential advanced persistent threats (APTs) or sophisticated malware. It looks for specific file paths associated with tools like Lightshot, ScreenConnect, or suspicious VS Code extensions, combined with network connections to known malicious domains/IPs or unusual ports, and the execution of suspicious processes like 'Code.exe' outside of its legitimate VS Code path or 'ScreenConnect' related executables. A high threat score is assigned if multiple types of these indicators are observed on the same device and account within a 30-day window.

This query hunts for network activity and other events related to specific domains (freefoodaid.com, wellnessmedcare.org) potentially associated with CVE-2026-21509. It searches DNS queries, network connections, generic web proxy/firewall logs, and URL click events to identify interactions with these domains.

Detects instances where an AI agent process (e.g., Moltbot, ClawdBot) performs a web search or HTTP request containing suspicious internal identifiers (like API keys or project names) as URL parameters. This behavior is a hallmark of 'search-and-leak' exfiltration tactics, often triggered by indirect prompt injection.

This rule detects unsigned executables originating from the WindowsApps directory that are making network connections to IP lookup services. This behavior can indicate a potentially malicious application attempting to identify its external IP address, possibly for command and control communication or reconnaissance. Common browsers are excluded from this detection to reduce false positives.

This rule detects patterns indicative of cryptomining malware execution, specifically targeting those distributed via impersonated PyPI packages. It looks for Python processes exhibiting characteristics such as: 1. Command lines containing keywords related to mining, cryptocurrency, hashing, and mining pools. 2. Python processes making suspicious network connections to stratum+tcp or mining pools. 3. Python processes engaging in resource-intensive operations like multiprocessing or threading, often utilizing all available CPU cores. 4. Python processes executing obfuscated code, potentially involving base64, zlib, or gzip decoding, combined with network requests. The rule triggers if any of these conditions are met, or if a combination of suspicious network activity and resource-intensive behavior, or obfuscated execution and resource-intensive behavior, is observed.

TIFCE (Threat Intelligence Feed Content Evaluation) is a simple way to measure if a TI feed is actually useful based on four things — uniqueness, real matches, confirmed maliciousness, and activity.
🚨 TIFCE allows using one detection per IOC type (URLs, domains, file hashes) instead of dozens of rules per feed, keeping detections clean, centralized, and easy to maintain.
If you rely on threat intelligence for detection, it can be a good solution to how to evaluate current or new TI feeds.

Detects HTTP C2 beaconing patterns based on burst request counts with small response bodies (1-499 bytes). This rule correlates multiple HTTP requests to the same destination within a short timespan, where each response has a small body size. This pattern is indicative of command and control (C2) communication.

This rule detects network connections to the Telegram API endpoint (api.telegram.org) from processes other than common web browsers like Chrome or Edge. This activity could indicate the use of Telegram for command and control, data exfiltration, or other malicious purposes by malware or threat actors.

Detects processes contacting multiple different domains (potential network enumeration OR C2 rotation)
This requires correlation engine of some kind.

Logic: Same user/host contacts 5+ different domains in 10 minute span

This rule query identifies likely post‑exploitation activity associated with React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182) in which Part 1 identifies web servers spawning unusual child processes (such as command shells or system utilities) combined with suspicious command-line patterns, which may indicate post-exploitation behavior following a compromise. and part 2 detects web servers making outbound network connections to known malicious IPs or hostnames, or to domains associated with tunneling services (e.g., trycloudflare.com), suggesting potential command-and-control activity or data exfiltration.

This rule detects applications, other than common web browsers, that are making network connections to Google Analytics domains and also contain 'microsoft' in the remote URL. This could indicate an application collecting device information or other telemetry and exfiltrating it via Google Analytics, potentially for malicious purposes or unauthorized data collection.
