This rule detects the distinctive 'NSIS_InetLoad Mozilla' user-agent string, which is commonly used by staged downloaders. It specifically targets network events where the process image name ends with '.exe' and either the event subtype or the remote IP contains the 'NSIS_InetLoad Mozilla' string. The rule aims to identify the initial stages of malware delivery and execution, providing causality fields for investigation.

This rule detects suspicious command-line execution originating from common web browsers. It identifies instances where a browser process launches a command-line interpreter (cmd, powershell, or wscript) and immediately invokes known download or utility commands (curl, iwr, bitsadmin, certutil), which is a common pattern for file-less or stage-two payload delivery from malicious websites.

This rule detects potential file staging or persistence activities by identifying executable, library, or script files that are created in temporary folders and subsequently deleted within a short timeframe (300 seconds). This behavioral pattern is characteristic of attackers moving tools, staging payloads, or cleaning up tracks after executing malicious scripts or binaries within common directory structures like '\Temp\', '\AppData\', or '\Windows\Temp\'.

Detects the execution of curl commands that involve base64 decoding, often used by adversaries to download and execute obfuscated scripts or payloads. The rule specifically looks for common shell utilities (curl, zsh, bash, sh) executing commands containing 'base64 --decode' and 'curl', along with specific suspicious domains or a generic base64 encoded string pattern.

Identifies characteristics of compiled Go binaries (e.g., executing from temp with specific build path signatures in memory) taking malicious actions. This rule specifically looks for process execution of an executable, combined with network connections on port 445 (SMB), and the creation or modification of files ending with '.gentlemen'.

Detects PHP or web server processes launching tools commonly used to download or upload files. This activity can indicate a web shell or other compromise where an attacker is attempting to transfer files to or from the compromised server. Investigate the transferred destination, remote endpoint, and whether the activity occurred during an approved deployment.

Detects remote PowerShell execution initiated by processes associated with Remcos RAT or Optimax. The rule specifically looks for PowerShell or cmd.exe processes executing commands containing 'IEX', 'Invoke-Expression', 'DownloadString', or a specific IP address (62.102.148.212), where the initiating parent process is identified as 'Remcos' or 'Optimax'. This indicates a potential compromise and execution of malicious code via a known RAT.

Detects PowerShell compressing stolen data prior to POST exfiltration. This rule specifically looks for the execution of 'powershell.exe' or 'pwsh.exe' with command-line arguments that include 'Compress-Archive', 'Invoke-WebRequest', and '-Method POST'. This combination indicates an attempt to compress data and then exfiltrate it via an HTTP POST request.

This rule detects instances where 'wscript.exe' or 'cscript.exe' (VBScript interpreters) initiate processes that attempt to download files from the internet (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP) or from network shares, or execute common system utilities often used for file transfer or execution like 'net.exe', 'certutil.exe', or 'bitsadmin.exe'. This pattern is indicative of multi-stage VBScript loaders often used in phishing campaigns to retrieve and execute further malicious payloads.
