Detects the creation of a new local user account on macOS systems using either the 'dscl' or 'sysadminctl' commands. Such accounts may be used for persistence without requiring persistent remote access tools.
Detects the creation of a new user profile in the Windows Registry with specific usernames ('ANONYMOUS' or '_DomainUser_') within the ProfileList, which has been observed in some variants of the COLDSTEEL RAT malware. This indicates potential persistence or privilege escalation attempts by creating a new user account.
Detects the creation of local user accounts using the `net.exe` or `net1.exe` command-line utility with the `expires:never` option, which indicates that the account password will not expire. This is a common technique used by adversaries to establish persistent access.
Detects the creation of a local user account using the 'New-LocalUser' PowerShell cmdlet. This rule specifically looks for the 'New-LocalUser' string within PowerShell script block logs, indicating an attempt to create a new local user on a Windows system.
Detects the creation of new local user accounts using the 'net.exe' or 'net1.exe' command-line utility with the 'user add' arguments. This activity can be indicative of an adversary establishing persistence or creating accounts for lateral movement.
This rule detects the creation of a local hidden user account by monitoring Windows Registry events. Specifically, it looks for modifications within the 'SAM\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\Names\' registry path where the target object (the account name) ends with a '$' character, indicating a hidden account. The detection is further refined by ensuring the event is generated by 'lsass.exe', which is responsible for managing user accounts and authentication.
