This rule detects two suspicious behaviors: 1) Execution of common system binaries (e.g., rundll32.exe, powershell.exe) from a directory pattern resembling a temporary folder or droppers, and 2) Network connections initiated by the 'attrib.exe' binary, which is atypical for this utility and may indicate malicious activity or staging.
Detects the execution of known Living-off-the-Land Binaries (LOLBAS) like mshta, rundll32, regsvr32, and others, when the command line includes indicators of external network retrieval (http/ftp), script execution (javascript/vbscript), or common obfuscation/decoding patterns (base64, encodedcommand). The rule excludes paths within System32 and SysWOW64 to focus on potentially suspicious locations or renamed binaries.
Detects the abuse of Windows protocol handlers ('search-ms:') and WebDAV UNC paths ('@SSL\DavWWWRoot') launched from common web browsers or Windows shell processes. This technique, frequently observed in 'ClickFix' phishing campaigns, enables attackers to stage remote payloads like LNK, HTA, or scripts by leveraging native Windows functionality to resolve remote content as if it were a local resource, bypassing typical file download security controls.
Detects instances where the Windows Script Host (wscript.exe) is used to launch node.exe with specific command-line arguments (e.g., executing index.js) or a specific binary name, which is indicative of malicious script-based execution chains often seen in RAT deployment.
Detects execution of rundll32.exe or regsvr32.exe with potentially malicious command-line arguments, including references to external URLs, protocol handlers like javascript:, or loading DLLs from user-writable directories (Temp, AppData, Downloads). This behavior is characteristic of Living-off-the-Land (LotL) techniques used to proxy execution and bypass application control or security monitoring.
Detects the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (msdt.exe) being launched by Office applications or web browsers using the ms-msdt protocol handler or PCWDiagnostic parameters, which is indicative of the Follina (CVE-2022-30190) vulnerability exploitation.
Detects suspicious command-line execution patterns originating from explorer.exe, characteristic of 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks where users are tricked into copying and pasting malicious commands into a terminal or Run dialog. The rule monitors for the usage of system binaries (mshta, powershell, rundll32, etc.) combined with network-fetching arguments or suspicious execution flags (hidden windows, encoded commands).
Detects the execution of conhost.exe with the --headless flag, which is commonly observed in Kimsuky LNK-based malware campaigns to execute encoded cmd.exe payloads. This pattern involves the use of certutil or echo commands to deobfuscate and execute embedded scripts, often leveraging hidden windows or process hollowing techniques for persistence and evasion.
Detects ClickFix-style activity where a user is tricked into entering or pasting malicious command strings into the Windows File Explorer address bar. This activity results in the spawning of common utilities like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or certutil.exe with arguments associated with UNC paths, Base64 encoding, or download cradles (e.g., IEX, bitsadmin, or URLCache operations).
Detects ClickFix-style activity where a user is tricked into entering or pasting malicious command strings into the Windows File Explorer address bar. This activity results in the spawning of common utilities like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or certutil.exe with arguments associated with UNC paths, Base64 encoding, or download cradles (e.g., IEX, bitsadmin, or URLCache operations).
Detects the FileFix (ClickFix) social engineering technique, where an attacker tricks a user into pasting malicious command lines into the Windows File Explorer address bar. The rule correlates a process execution (PowerShell, Cmd, Mshta) originating from explorer.exe with recent registry writes to shell history artifacts (RunMRU, TypedPaths, or ShellBags) within a 120-second window, identifying the characteristic 'paste-and-execute' behavior.
Detects the copying of the legitimate Windows curl.exe binary to a renamed filename within user-writable directories (e.g., %TEMP%) via PowerShell. This technique is often used to masquerade the utility for stealthy file downloads. The rule also identifies the execution of these renamed binaries by checking for a mismatch between the current filename and the binary's original file description embedded in its PE header.
Detects the use of legitimate Windows system binaries (LOLBins) such as curl.exe, certutil.exe, or bitsadmin.exe to download files. These binaries are monitored when spawned directly from common entry-point processes like explorer.exe, cmd.exe, or powershell.exe, which is characteristic of second-stage payload retrieval in ClickFix social engineering campaigns.
Detects the spawning of common administrative or script-execution tools as child processes from SharePoint-related processes (w3wp.exe or OWSTIMER.EXE). This behavior is often indicative of exploitation attempts targeting SharePoint application pools to execute arbitrary code.
Detects the use of 7-Zip (7z.exe) to extract a file named drata.dat using command line arguments that indicate silent extraction from an encrypted or password-protected archive. This behavior is associated with the LegionLoader malware, which uses this technique to stage its payload.
Detects the use of 'winget configure' to retrieve and apply a Desired State Configuration (DSC) file from a remote HTTPS URL. This behavior can be abused to execute malicious configuration scripts directly from the internet.
Detects the WMI provider host (wmiprvse.exe) spawning common living-off-the-land binaries often associated with command execution or lateral movement.
Detects the abuse of signed Windows system binaries (LOLBins: certutil, mshta, regsvr32, rundll32, bitsadmin, msiexec) through the identification of command-line arguments that suggest malicious activity, such as downloading remote content, decoding files, executing scriptlets, or loading DLLs from temporary storage directories.
Detects the execution of known Windows system binaries (rundll32, regsvr32, mshta, msiexec) with command-line arguments indicative of proxy execution or script-based attacks. The rule identifies patterns commonly associated with downloading or executing remote payloads, including the use of URLs, JavaScript, VBScript, or specific DLL exports designed to execute code indirectly or from a remote source.
Detects the abuse of common Windows LOLBins (Living Off the Land Binaries) like regsvr32, mshta, certutil, and rundll32 to proxy the execution of remote scripts, DLLs, or malicious payloads, a technique often used to bypass security controls.
Detects the abuse of the Windows Scripted Diagnostics framework (sdiagnhost.exe) by the Antino threat actor. The attack leverages sdiagnhost.exe to proxy the execution of a malicious script (result.ps1) that subsequently establishes persistence by creating a Registry Run key (GatherOSStateKit). The rule correlates the execution of the scripted diagnostic package with the specific registry modification event within a 5-minute window.
