Detects when a browser process or browser tab is launched from an application that handles document files such as Adobe, Microsoft Office, etc., and connects to a web application over http(s). This could indicate a possible phishing attempt, where a malicious document is used to redirect a user to a malicious website.

Detects a suspicious sequence where a JavaScript file is executed, followed shortly by the execution of a Windows Installer (MSI) package on the same host. This pattern is consistent with the initial access technique used by threat actors like Lunar Spider, where a malicious script downloads and runs a subsequent payload.

This rule detects the execution of `mmc.exe` with command-line arguments that indicate the use of Right-to-Left Override (RTLO) characters to disguise file extensions. Specifically, it looks for `.msc` files that, due to RTLO abuse, appear to be common document types like `.pdf`, `.doc`, `.xlsx`, etc., but are actually `.msc` files. This technique is often used by adversaries for defense evasion and to trick users into executing malicious files.

This rule hunts for various artifacts and behaviors associated with the APT28 campaign "Phantom Net Voxel", which leverages COM hijacking, steganography, and cloud services for C2. This version is specifically tailored for Azure Sentinel using only DeviceProcessEvents, DeviceFileEvents, and DeviceNetworkEvents. It detects known malicious file hashes, regsvr32 execution of a specific DLL, Office applications dropping malicious DLLs or steganographic PNGs, C2 communications to known cloud storage domains, creation of SlimAgent log files, and explorer.exe accessing steganographic PNG files indicating successful COM hijacking.

Detects the execution of a Windows Shortcut File (.lnk) that is masquerading as an image file. This technique is used by threat actors like APT29 to trick users into executing malicious code, often delivered within an ISO or ZIP file.

This rule detects activities associated with the SmartLoader malware, including the creation or renaming of specific files (ODE3.exe, Module.class, Lua51.dll) in suspicious user application data directories, the creation or update of scheduled tasks with a specific name ("SecurityHealthService_ODE3"), and the DLL sideloading of "lua51.dll". These activities indicate potential execution, persistence, and defense evasion by the SmartLoader malware.

This rule detects the creation of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files on a system, particularly those initiated by common applications like Outlook, web browsers, or archive utilities. It then correlates this file creation with subsequent network activity from a browser process within a 5-minute window. The network activity is further scrutinized for suspicious URLs, specifically those using Cloudflare Workers domains with a specific pattern or URLs containing an '@' symbol, which can indicate obfuscation or malicious redirection attempts. This behavior is indicative of SVG smuggling techniques used to deliver malicious payloads or redirect users to phishing sites.

The analytic identifies the execution of Advanced Installer MSIX Package Support Framework (PSF) components, specifically the AI_STUBS executables with the original filename 'popupwrapper.exe'. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process paths and original filenames. This activity is significant as adversaries have been observed packaging malicious content within MSIX files built with Advanced Installer to bypass security controls. These AI_STUBS executables (with original filename 'popupwrapper.exe') are hallmark artifacts of potentially malicious MSIX packages. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, establish persistence, or deliver malware while evading traditional detection mechanisms.

Detects the execution of an executable or script file from the NETLOGON share. This behavior was observed during the deployment of the Obscura ransomware and is a strong indicator of lateral movement or malicious deployment via Group Policy.

Detects hard IoCs and activity associated with a trojanized installer of Velociraptor incident response tool making callbacks to C2 domains from workers[.]dev and tunneling with Visual Studio Code (code.exe). The detection looks for the creation of hard IoCs from this malicious Velociraptor installer V2.msi, followed by network connections to known C2 domains and the execution of related processes, including PowerShell (with support for detecting encoded commands to install code.exe) and msiexec activity tied to malicious domains.

This rule detects indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the 'ManualFinder/PDF Editor' malware campaign. It identifies malicious activity across multiple data sources, including file hashes, process hashes, suspicious certificate signers, suspicious company names in version info, suspicious file descriptions, malicious command execution, and network connections to known command and control (C2) or malicious PDF-related domains. The rule leverages external data sources for IOCs such as file hashes, C2 domains, PDF-related domains, suspicious signers, and malicious commands. It also includes static IOCs like specific file descriptions and company names. The detection logic is designed to identify various stages of the malware's activity, from initial execution to network communication.

Detects the execution of a suspicious PowerShell dropper script, often initiated by a user clicking a malicious file (e.g., LNK). This pattern is common in phishing campaigns, including those by groups like Kimsuky. The detection looks for PowerShell commands that use common evasion techniques (like hidden windows or bypassing execution policies).

Detects the execution of a malicious Linux payload, possibly within a .desktop file, a technique used by APT36. The rule identifies a bash process executing an inline command that downloads and runs a payload, often using a combination of curl, xxd, base64, and eval.

This rule detects the installation of potentially unwanted or suspicious applications, specifically looking for a sponsored version of FileZilla. It then correlates this installation with outbound network activity to public IP addresses, which could indicate telemetry, beaconing, data exfiltration, or command and control (C2) behavior.

Detects the execution of an application from a mounted disk image (DMG) with a name known to be used by Odyssey Infostealer. This activity is indicative of initial access, where the user has been tricked into running a malicious application masquerading as a legitimate software installer or updater.

The following analytic detects attempts to install unsigned MSIX/AppX packages using the -AllowUnsigned parameter. This detection leverages Windows event logs from the AppXDeployment-Server, specifically focusing on EventID 603 which indicates the start of a deployment operation with specific deployment flags. The flag value 8388608 corresponds to the -AllowUnsigned option in PowerShell's Add-AppxPackage cmdlet. This activity is significant as adversaries have been observed leveraging unsigned MSIX packages to deliver malware, bypassing signature verification that would normally protect users from malicious packages. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, establish persistence, or deliver malware while evading traditional detection mechanisms.

The analytic identifies the execution of PowerShell scripts from the WindowsApps directory, which is a common technique used in malicious MSIX package execution. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process command lines and parent process paths. This activity is significant as adversaries have been observed using MSIX packages with embedded PowerShell scripts (particularly StartingScriptWrapper.ps1) to execute malicious code. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, establish persistence, or deliver malware while evading traditional detection mechanisms.
