Detects ProFTPD FTP server commands where an adversary uses SITE CPFR (Copy From) to reference a sensitive file path (such as /etc/passwd or SSH keys) followed by SITE CPTO (Copy To) on the same host within a 10-minute window, which indicates potential staging or unauthorized copying of sensitive system files via FTP.

Detects the execution of command-line archiving utilities (e.g., 7z, rar, zip) to create potentially password-protected archives within common staging directories (Temp, Public, ProgramData), followed by an outbound network connection to an external destination. This behavior is consistent with data staging and subsequent exfiltration.

Detects a sequence of activity indicative of data exfiltration preparation. This rule identifies the creation of multiple large archive files (.zip, .rar, .7z) in temporary or staging directories on an endpoint, followed by a network connection transferring a significant volume of data to an external, non-private IP address within a 30-minute window.

This rule detects potential staging activity for ClickFix or Vidar malware campaigns. It identifies the creation of files or folders in directories mimicking Windows Diagnostics infrastructure (WDI) or known payload paths, correlated with the execution of suspicious PowerShell commands or archive-related utilities within a 30-minute window on the same device.

This rule detects instances where Windows script hosts (wscript.exe or cscript.exe) create directories with suspicious naming conventions (starting with 'Libs_' or containing 'Temp Documents') within the 'C:\Users\Public\' directory. This activity is often associated with the staging of malicious payloads or collected data prior to exfiltration or execution.

This rule monitors for the creation of files with the .ent extension within the Microsoft Internet Explorer directory. The rule specifically looks for files with a six-character alphanumeric name (e.g., abc123.ent), which may indicate the use of custom scripts, configuration files, or data staging by potentially malicious actors leveraging the browser's directory structure for persistence or data storage.
