Detects anomalous instances of conhost.exe running with SYSTEM integrity within an interactive user logon session. This behavior is indicative of session hijacking techniques, such as those leveraging named pipes or LaunchConsoleInSessionId, used to force console hosts into user-controlled sessions to potentially capture input or manipulate processes.
Detects the creation of the '\adprinterpipe' named pipe by a process other than authorized AnyDesk binaries. This activity is indicative of a local privilege escalation (LPE) technique where an attacker pre-creates the pipe to impersonate the AnyDesk service and intercept a SYSTEM-level token.
Detects process-related activities involving specific 'XGU::Feature' command line arguments, commonly associated with token manipulation, credential theft, or lateral movement attempts. This rule monitors process creation, cross-process access, and module loading to identify potentially malicious interactions with Windows security tokens.
Detects accounts performing multiple sensitive operations, privilege assignments, or privileged service calls in a short timeframe, which may indicate account compromise, reconnaissance, or lateral movement.
Detects anomalous activities associated with the SystemInformer (formerly Process Hacker) kernel driver service (phsvc), which is known to be leveraged for local privilege escalation (LPE). The rule identifies the execution of rundll32 with suspicious command line parameters, the spawning of SYSTEM-level child processes by the phsvc service context, and unauthorized access to the SiSvcApiPort named pipe, which is used for inter-process communication with the kernel driver.
Detects potential privilege escalation activity including manual privilege discovery using 'whoami /priv', suspicious elevated processes spawned from non-elevated parents, and specific scheduled task execution patterns associated with Payouts King malware.
Detects accounts performing multiple sensitive operations, privilege assignments, or privileged service calls in a short timeframe, which may indicate account compromise, reconnaissance, or lateral movement.
Detects OneDrive synchronization service processes or associated modules invoking suspicious token manipulation or privilege enumeration APIs, such as 'StealToken', 'Impersonate_ThisThread', or 'GetPrivileges'. This behavior is indicative of potential privilege escalation or process injection techniques disguised within legitimate cloud sync service processes.
Detects the execution of 'JuicyPotato', a known tool used for local privilege escalation on Windows systems by abusing the BITS service or DCOM to achieve arbitrary process execution as SYSTEM.
Detects AnyDesk spawning suspicious child processes (cmd, powershell, etc.) indicative of local privilege escalation via the AnyDesk printer COM object impersonation vulnerability. This technique involves an attacker-controlled process communicating with the AnyDesk service's named pipe (adprinterpipe) to trigger code execution in the context of the LocalSystem AnyDesk service.
Detects evidence of VILE ransomware behavior involving token and privilege manipulation, including the use of Windows API functions such as AdjustTokenPrivileges, OpenProcessToken, and DuplicateTokenEx, as well as potential EDR bypass indicators via NT syscalls like NtCreateWaitCompletionPacket.
Detects potential token manipulation attacks using SMB loopback connections. The rule identifies processes executing with privileges commonly associated with token impersonation (SeImpersonatePrivilege, SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege) or running as SYSTEM that are not expected system processes, correlated with an SMB network connection to the local loopback address on port 445.
Detects signs of access token manipulation and impersonation, including the use of 'runas' with saved credentials, suspicious PowerShell API calls for identity management, usage of known token-manipulation tools (e.g., incognito), and reconnaissance using 'whoami /priv'. These activities are indicative of privilege escalation attempts or lateral movement.
This rule detects suspicious command-line activity indicative of potential token impersonation or theft. It specifically looks for the keywords 'token' or 'impersonate' within process creation command lines (EventID 4688) and triggers an alert if these keywords appear 3 or more times within an hour on the same computer by the same account. This could indicate an adversary attempting to manipulate access tokens to elevate privileges or operate under a different security context.
Detects anomalous child process execution spawned by the AnyDesk service, indicative of exploitation of the adprinterpipe named pipe. This vulnerability involves a low-privileged attacker supplying malicious IStream bytes to the service to trigger code execution in the SYSTEM context.
Detects the installation and execution of known APT36 Ghazwa spyware variants (com.ghazwa.updates, com.chragall, or com.chagall) that are sideloaded (not from the official Google Play Store) and attempt to request or activate Device Administrator privileges via intent actions or receiver class activation.
Detects processes running at High or System integrity levels that correlate with the creation of specific file artifacts known to be associated with VILE ransomware. The rule monitors for potential privilege escalation or token manipulation indicative of the ransomware's attempt to gain necessary permissions for encryption operations.
This rule detects potential lateral movement and privilege escalation activity associated with the SPECTRALVIPER framework. It identifies suspicious process launch events where method names indicative of token manipulation (e.g., StealToken, MakeToken, Impersonate_ThisThread) are present in the command line, or where the OneDrive Sync Service process is used as an indicator of this specific activity.
Detects potential token manipulation attacks using SMB loopback connections. The rule identifies processes executing with privileges commonly associated with token impersonation (SeImpersonatePrivilege, SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege) or running as SYSTEM that are not expected system processes, correlated with an SMB network connection to the local loopback address on port 445.
Detects signs of access token manipulation and impersonation, including the use of 'runas' with saved credentials, suspicious PowerShell API calls for identity management, usage of known token-manipulation tools (e.g., incognito), and reconnaissance using 'whoami /priv'. These activities are indicative of privilege escalation attempts or lateral movement.
This rule detects when a user account repeatedly (3 or more times within an hour) requests either 'SeDebugPrivilege' or 'SeImpersonatePrivilege' (Event ID 4672). This behavior can be indicative of an attacker attempting to escalate privileges or manipulate access tokens, often seen in techniques like token impersonation or debugging processes for malicious purposes.
