1,050 detections

Detects anomalous, high-volume file deletion, modification, or resource deletion operations performed by an identified AI agent service account within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of a compromised AI agent being leveraged for mass data destruction, ransomware activity, or disruptive configuration changes.

Detects the creation of files commonly associated with ransomware notes (e.g., README.txt, HOW_TO_DECRYPT.txt) across multiple directories, which is a strong indicator of the impact phase where files have been encrypted and the adversary is providing recovery instructions.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating a rapid burst of file creation, modification, or renaming events across multiple directories with prior execution of defense evasion commands, such as deleting volume shadow copies or terminating security-related processes. This sequence is characteristic of ransomware operators attempting to disable recovery options and security protections before commencing mass file encryption.

Detects a suspected ransomware double-extortion sequence: the bulk creation of password-protected archives using compression utilities (e.g., 7z, RAR), followed by significant outbound network connections to common cloud storage or anonymization endpoints, and concluding with mass file modifications indicative of encryption activity.

Correlates a sequence of suspicious activities on a single host within 90 minutes: LSASS memory access consistent with credential dumping, followed by remote service or WMI-based lateral movement, and finishing with mass file renames or modifications characteristic of ransomware encryption.

Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a common internet-facing server process (e.g., w3wp.exe, nginx.exe) spawns a potentially malicious child process (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe), followed shortly thereafter by mass file modifications on the same host, which is characteristic of ransomware behavior following initial exploitation.

001
Detects high-volume file rename and modification operations occurring across multiple directories, combined with the creation of files indicative of ransom notes (e.g., readme, decrypt, how-to-restore). This pattern is strongly associated with the encryption phase of a ransomware attack.

101
Detects a multi-stage extortion tactic where a host is targeted by a mass creation of initial decryption-style ransom notes across multiple directories, followed by a subsequent drop of distinct follow-up 'press release' or 'threat' notes within a 30-minute window, indicative of INC Ransom behavior.

Detects a sequence of activity indicative of destructive ransomware or wiper behavior on a Windows device. The rule correlates a high volume of file modification, creation, or rename events within a short timeframe with concurrent attempts to delete or modify Windows backup and recovery mechanisms (such as Volume Shadow Copies or Boot Configuration Data) using native administrative utilities.

Detects the use of legitimate data-transfer utilities (rclone, MEGA client, restic, WinSCP) configured to exfiltrate data to cloud storage providers. This behavior is identified as a precursor to double-extortion ransomware attacks, where attackers steal sensitive data before encrypting it.

Detects the execution of Nova ransomware (formerly RALord) by monitoring for its specific modular command-line interface arguments, which include file encryption commands, ransom note deployment, and specific ransom note filenames. The rule monitors process creation events for strings like 'encrypt-all', 'encrypt-path', 'readme-add', '--workers', and the presence of the 'README_NOVA.me' ransom note or unique file extensions associated with its encryption activity.

Detects potential ransomware activity in AWS by identifying high volumes of S3 object encryption (using SSE-C or KMS) followed by the disabling or scheduled deletion of the associated KMS key material. This behavior aims to render data inaccessible to legitimate users while ensuring recovery is inhibited by destroying the cryptographic keys required for decryption.

Detects anomalous mass file modification or renaming activity often associated with ransomware, combined with the deletion of Windows Volume Shadow Copies using native utilities like vssadmin or wmic, and the presence of suspicious ransom note filenames.

Detects a potential mass-encryption event by identifying a single host rapidly renaming or rewriting a large volume of files across multiple SMB network shares within a short timeframe, where the renamed files consistently adopt a single file extension.

Detects suspicious file create or write operations within the domain SYSVOL Policies directory. This pattern is commonly associated with attackers attempting to deploy malicious payloads, such as ransom notes or configuration changes, via Group Policy Objects (GPO). The rule monitors Windows Event ID 4663 to identify unauthorized modification attempts by non-system accounts.

Detects the presence of PAYLOAD ransomware ELF binaries specifically configured to target VMware ESXi environments. The detection logic looks for a combination of ELF magic bytes, the 'PAYLOAD' string, references to common virtual machine file extensions (e.g., .vmdk, .vmx), and usage of ESXi-specific administration tools such as esxcli or vim-cmd.
