Detects the execution of Certutil.exe with specific command-line arguments (-decode, -urlcache, -split) or references to suspicious file patterns (Link.dat, Link.ini) which are often indicative of malicious activity such as downloading remote payloads, decoding obfuscated binaries, or staging files for lateral movement.

Detects the execution of curl.exe to download an executable payload directly into the C:\ProgramData\ directory.
This behavior was observed in MuddyWater campaigns utilizing the Chaos ransomware false flag to retrieve their initial dropper (ms_upd.exe).

Detects the creation of unrecognized Go-compiled binaries by common developer tools (e.g., node.exe, code.exe) in user-writable or temporary directories, followed shortly by outbound network connections to known C2 infrastructure (e.g., vercel.app, jsonkeeper.com). This behavior is consistent with the 'Contagious Interview' campaign attributed to the Lazarus Group.

This rule detects potentially malicious command execution patterns where shell interpreters (bash, sh, zsh, dash) are invoked to process data piped from suspicious sources. This includes patterns like piping DNS query output (dig) directly into a shell—a technique often used in C2 communication—and base64-encoded payloads executed by shells that originate from or are associated with AI agent tooling (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Cody, Copilot). This behavior is indicative of unauthorized code execution or command and control activity.

0011
Detects outbound network connections from common package managers (pip, npm) or utility tools (node, wget, curl) to destinations that are not related to official package repositories or local network ranges. This behavior may indicate an adversary using legitimate tools to download malicious payloads or establish command and control channels.

Detects the download of potential second-stage malicious payloads disguised as JPEG files to the C:\Windows\ directory using the URLDownloadToFile method. This activity is associated with Operation DragonReturn, where attackers save payloads as background.jpg for later decryption and execution.

This rule detects network communication (DNS, connection, or traffic) with known infrastructure and specific URI paths associated with the SpectralViper threat actor. It enriches these findings by identifying if the communication originated from processes commonly associated with SpectralViper, such as OneDrive Sync services or specific Intel audio service files.

Detects the execution of PowerShell commands targeting a specific staging directory 'ProgramData\Zooms', typically associated with the ClickFix malware campaign. The rule flags processes invoking secondary payload retrieval via '.r2.dev' or 'dl-callback' patterns, which are indicative of staged second-stage download activities.

Detects malicious PowerShell command-line execution associated with the Gamaredon (Shuckworm/ACTINIUM) threat group's Ptero-family of tools. This rule flags PowerShell processes utilizing encoded commands (-enc, -EncodedCommand), hidden windows (-nop, -w hidden), and downloader cmdlets (DownloadString, DownloadFile, IEX) that include specific strings linked to the Ptero malware suite (e.g., PteroPaste, PteroVDoor, PteroPSDoor).

Detects a PowerShell download cradle that retrieves a payload archive from a Cloudflare R2 bucket (pub-*.r2.dev/*.zip) and reports success via an out-of-band HTTP GET to a /dl-callback/ endpoint containing a GUID, consistent with ClickFix loader behavior.

Detects the download of potential steganographic image files (specifically .jpg extensions) from known malicious IP addresses, followed by the creation of a non-Microsoft-signed image file in the C:\Windows directory by the same process storyline. This behavior suggests the download and extraction of an embedded malicious payload.

Detects potentially malicious use of the Windows Package Manager (WinGet) to configure system environments, specifically targeting flags that bypass user interactivity or agreements, as well as the spawning of the ConfigurationRemotingServer by WinGet or related package management processes, which could indicate the deployment of unauthorized or malicious configurations.

Detects the abuse of the CertUtil.exe Windows utility to download, decode, encode, or split files. This behavior is considered suspicious when initiated by common command-line shells or Office applications, which are frequently used as entry points for malicious scripts or macro-based attacks.

Detects the use of living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins) such as PowerShell, curl, certutil, bitsadmin, or mshta to download potential secondary payloads from self-hosted GitLab instances. This behavior is indicative of the Amadey loader chain, where compromised GitLab infrastructure is used as a repository to stage and distribute StealC or other malicious payloads.
