Detects network activity related to the BEAST ransomware targeting VMware ESXi systems. The rule identifies attempts to stage encryption operations via SSH, including detecting references to known filenames ('encryptor.elf', 'beast_esxi') and the use of the 'vim-cmd' utility to power off virtual machines as part of the preparation for file encryption.

Detects the creation of files on a host system that match naming conventions consistent with Rhysida ransomware notes. These files (e.g., README, HOW_TO_RECOVER) indicate a post-encryption state where the adversary has demanded payment. The detection joins events to highlight multiple occurrences of these note-like files on a single device.

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 execution of the KRSID ransomware binary, which is written in Rust. The rule identifies the malware based on its unique file extensions, ransom note filenames, specific command-line arguments, log file indicators, and compiled code characteristics.

This rule detects mass file modification, creation, or renaming activity involving files with the '.krsid' extension. The threshold is set to monitor for more than 20 occurrences, which is indicative of potential ransomware encryption activity, while explicitly excluding common system, temporary, and development paths, and filtering out processes explicitly performing shadow copy deletion.

104
Detects the execution of HTSPnew.Exe with specific command-line arguments indicative of KRSID ransomware operations, such as configuration flags for paths, batch processing, and dry-run modes. The use of these flags with this specific executable name is a strong indicator of malicious activity.

Detects the creation of files with the name 'README_KRSID.Txt', which is a hallmark behavior of the KRSID ransomware strain used to leave ransom notes on compromised systems.

Detects the presence of KRSID ransomware by identifying specific embedded strings associated with its configuration, including ransom notes (README_KRSID.Txt), log files (ransomware-silent.Log), encrypted file extensions (.krsid), and common command-line arguments used for operational control.

004
This rule correlates the receipt of a potential extortion-themed email (containing keywords related to ransom, bitcoin, or data leaks and mentioning cloud platforms like SharePoint, OneDrive, or Box) with a subsequent bulk access event of mail items by the same recipient using a specific client application identifier. This pattern is indicative of an attacker attempting to extort a user or organization following the unauthorized exfiltration or access of sensitive email data stored in cloud services.

003
Detects behavior indicative of KRSID ransomware, characterized by mass file renaming to the .krsid extension and the creation of a 'ransomware-silent.Log' file. The detection specifically correlates this activity with the absence of vssadmin shadow copy deletion commands, which is an atypical behavior for most ransomware families, thereby serving as a distinguishing heuristic.

Detects DragonForce ransomware attempting to identify accessible SMB network shares by executing 'net view' commands. This activity is a precursor to encrypting files on reachable administrative shares (e.g., C$) while excluding system-specific shares like ADMIN$.

Detects a rapid, multi-stage intrusion sequence on a single host involving discovery, lateral movement, and high-volume file modifications. The rule identifies anomalous behavior where diverse reconnaissance and lateral movement commands are executed within a compressed timeframe, characteristic of automated or LLM-driven orchestration of ransomware operations.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating three distinct events: the execution of a suspicious, potentially obfuscated binary (matching a specific naming pattern of _win64.exe) from an untrusted location (e.g., Temp, AppData, Downloads), followed by a high volume of file modifications or renames with specific ransomware-related extensions (.locked), and the dropping of a known ransom note file (RESTORE_FILES.txt) within a short 15-minute time window.

Detects rapid, bulk process termination of critical system, security, database, and office applications using the Windows taskkill.exe utility. This behavior is characteristic of ransomware (such as DragonForce) attempting to release file locks prior to initiating encryption activities.

Detects high volumes of file creations, modifications, or renames ending with a specific encrypted file extension (.df_win) occurring across multiple network (SMB) shares from a single host within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of ransomware activity where a compromised host attempts to encrypt files on accessible remote storage.

Detects high volumes of file rename operations within a short timeframe, which is a behavioral indicator often associated with the encryption process of ransomware such as CRPx0.

Detects the loading of rstrtmgr.dll by processes other than explorer.exe. Adversaries, particularly ransomware, utilize the Windows Restart Manager API (RmStartSession, RmRegisterResources, RmShutdown) to identify and forcibly terminate processes that hold file handles to files they intend to encrypt, thereby bypassing file-in-use locks.
