004
Detects the creation of a new Windows service (EventID 7045) where the service's ImagePath contains suspicious command-line flags ('-c', '-r', '-k') often used with scripting engines, and the ImagePath itself references common scripting or proxy execution binaries such as cscript, mshta, powershell, pwsh, regsvr32, rundll32, or wscript. This combination indicates an attempt to install a service that executes a script or uses a living-off-the-land binary for malicious purposes, potentially for persistence or privilege escalation.

This KQL query detects suspicious service activities (installation, modification, or deletion) by comparing events with a curated list of known suspicious Windows services. It extracts service names and accounts from device events and joins them with an external CSV list of suspicious services to identify matches. The query aims to alert on the presence or manipulation of services commonly associated with malicious activity.

The following analytic detects potential RDP Hijacking attempts by identifying the creation of a Windows service using sc.exe with a binary path that includes tscon.exe. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process creation events and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as it indicates an attacker may be trying to hijack a disconnected RDP session, posing a risk of unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could gain control over an existing user session, leading to potential data theft or further system compromise.

The following analytic detects the creation or modification of Windows services using the sc.exe command. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because manipulating Windows services can be a method for attackers to establish persistence, escalate privileges, or execute arbitrary code. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to maintain long-term access, disrupt services, or gain control over critical system functions, posing a severe threat to the environment.

Detects the HazyBeacon backdoor, which leverages AWS Lambda URLs for C2 communication and uses custom tools for data exfiltration. The rule identifies known malicious file hashes, suspicious tool drops in C:\ProgramData, specific service creation commands for persistence, and network connections from the sideloaded host process (mscorsvw.exe) to AWS Lambda URLs.

Detects TTPs associated with the HazyBeacon backdoor, used by the threat cluster CL-STA-1020. This rule identifies the creation of a specific persistence service and the execution of custom exfiltration tools from the C:\ProgramData directory. This threat also uses C2 communication via AWS Lambda URLs (e.g., *.lambda-url.*.on.aws) from the mscorsvw.exe process, which should be monitored via network logs.
