Detects the creation of files with a specific naming pattern '/mail/tmp/[a-zA-Z0-9]{3}[0-9]{3}.tar.gz' which has been observed to be used by the threat actor UNC4841 for staging and exfiltration of email-related data.

This rule detects the use of Gpg4win (gpg.exe or gpg2.exe) to encrypt or decrypt files. The detection specifically triggers when the command line includes the '-passphrase' argument and the file being operated on is located in suspicious directories such as 'PerfLogs', 'Temp', 'Users\Public', 'Windows\Temp', 'AppData\Local\Temp', or 'AppData\Roaming'. This behavior can indicate an adversary encrypting collected data before exfiltration or using these common staging areas for malicious operations.

Detects a command line pattern used by the Conti ransomware group to archive and stage the NTDS.dit database for exfiltration. The rule specifically looks for the execution of '7za.exe' (7-Zip archiver) with a command line that includes '\C$\temp\log.zip', indicating the creation of a zip archive in a temporary location, a common step before exfiltration.

This rule identifies execution traces indicative of the XCSSET macOS malware. XCSSET is known to spread via Xcode projects and maliciously modify applications. The rule looks for specific command-line patterns involving 'curl' to suspicious URLs, 'osacompile' and 'plutil' interacting with user and group containers, and 'zip' archiving data from user and group containers. These activities suggest potential command and control communication, persistence mechanisms, and data staging/exfiltration by the malware.

Detects PowerShell scripts that make use of the "Compress-Archive" Cmdlet in order to compress folders and files where the output is stored in a potentially suspicious location that is used often by malware for exfiltration. An adversary might compress data (e.g., sensitive documents) that is collected prior to exfiltration in order to make it portable and minimize the amount of data sent over the network.
