Detects critical service crashes, fatal errors, and abnormal process terminations in Ollama that may indicate exploitation attempts, resource exhaustion attacks, malicious input triggering unhandled exceptions, or deliberate denial of service attacks designed to disrupt AI model availability and degrade system stability. The rule aggregates multiple termination events within a 5-minute window to identify sustained instability or attack patterns.

Detects abnormal memory allocation patterns and excessive runner operations in Ollama that may indicate resource exhaustion attacks, memory abuse through malicious model loading, or attempts to degrade system performance by overwhelming GPU/CPU resources. Adversaries may deliberately load multiple large models, trigger repeated model initialization cycles, or exploit memory allocation mechanisms to exhaust available system resources, causing denial of service conditions or degrading performance for legitimate users.

Detects attempts to exploit multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-52905, CVE-2025-52906, CVE-2025-52907) in TOTOLINK X6000R routers. Attackers can leverage argument injection, unauthenticated command injection, and security bypasses through the '/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi' endpoint to achieve remote code execution or denial of service.

Detects potential abuse of the Linux Magic SysRq (System Request) key by adversaries with root or sufficient privileges to manipulate or destabilize a system. Writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger can crash the system, kill processes, or bypass standard logging. Monitoring SysRq abuse helps detect stealthy post-exploitation activity.

This analytic detects activity associated with "Static Tundra" threat actor abuse of the Cisco Smart Install (SMI) protocol using Cisco Secure Firewall Intrusion Events. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense IntrusionEvent logs to identify occurrences of Smart Install exploitation and protocol abuse, including denial-of-service and buffer overflow attempts. The detection triggers when multiple Cisco Smart Install-related Snort signatures are observed in a short period from the same source, which is indicative of active exploitation or reconnaissance against Cisco devices that expose SMI.

Detects a high volume of specific RPC calls from a single source to a single target, indicative of the TorpeDoS technique. This technique is used to cause a denial of service by overwhelming the target with memory-intensive RPC operations.

The following analytic identifies instances where a Duo administrator creates or updates a policy to explicitly deny user access within the Duo environment. It detects this behavior by searching Duo administrator activity logs for policy creation or update actions where the authentication status is set to "Deny access." By correlating these events with user and admin details, the analytic highlights potential misuse or malicious changes to access policies. This behavior is critical for a SOC to monitor, as unauthorized or suspicious denial of access policies can indicate insider threats, account compromise, or attempts to disrupt legitimate user access. The impact of such an attack may include denial of service to critical accounts, disruption of business operations, or the masking of further malicious activity by preventing targeted users from accessing resources. Early detection enables rapid investigation and remediation to maintain organizational security and availability.

This detection identifies when all virtual machines on an ESXi host are abruptly terminated, which may indicate malicious activity such as a deliberate denial-of-service, ransomware staging, or an attempt to destroy critical workloads. The rule specifically looks for `pkill -9 vmx-*` or `esxcli` commands used to kill VM processes.

'This query looks for Microsoft Defender AV detections related to Europium actor.
In Microsoft Sentinel the SecurityAlerts table includes only the Device Name of the affected device, this query joins the DeviceInfo table to clearly connect other information such as Device group, ip, etc. This would allow the Microsoft Sentinel analyst to have more context related to the alert, if available.
