Detects attempts to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) by monitoring for specific keywords associated with memory patching or tampering within the command lines of PowerShell, .NET-based binaries (dotnet.exe, csc.exe, msbuild.exe), and related processes. The rule specifically looks for strings like 'AmsiUtils', 'amsiInitFailed', and base64-encoded equivalents often used by offensive security tools to neutralize AMSI scanning capabilities.

This rule detects attempts to tamper with Windows Defender services (WinDefend, SecurityHealthService, wscsvc) by stopping or disabling them. It covers actions performed via 'sc.exe' commands, 'Set-Service' PowerShell cmdlets, and direct modification of registry keys related to these services. The rule specifically filters out legitimate system and TrustedInstaller processes when detecting registry modifications to reduce false positives.

Detects attempts to terminate security-related processes or stop security-related services using common administrative tools like taskkill.exe, sc.exe, net.exe, or net1.exe. This activity is often indicative of an adversary attempting to disable security monitoring and protection software to facilitate further malicious actions.

This rule detects potential attempts to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) by monitoring memory protection changes (VirtualProtect) targeting the AmsiScanBuffer function within the amsi.dll module. Attackers often modify this function's memory permissions to PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE to inject code or patch the function, effectively disabling AMSI scanning capabilities.

Detects the use of taskkill to forcefully terminate critical system processes, administrative utilities, or security-related software. The rule tracks command-line patterns involving common targets such as task manager, registry editor, PowerShell, security agents, or attempts to terminate wininit.exe which can trigger a system crash.

This rule detects EDR evasion techniques associated with the SNOWLIGHT dropper used by UNC5221. It identifies two specific behaviors: the manual loading of ntdll.dll from non-standard Windows directories, which suggests an attempt to bypass EDR hooks through manual mapping and direct syscalls, and the loading of amsi.dll by processes running from user-writable directories (e.g., Temp, Downloads), indicative of an in-memory AMSI bypass.

Detects the SNOWLIGHT dropper performing an Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) bypass. The rule identifies processes that load 'amsi.dll' and subsequently perform memory manipulation (WriteProcessMemory or VirtualProtect) on the module's memory region within a 10-second window, excluding known Windows security components.

This rule detects modifications to the Windows Registry that enable the 'Shutdown without logon' feature, which allows a user to initiate a system shutdown without needing to log in first. This setting is often modified by attackers or during unauthorized system reconfiguration to weaken access control or facilitate disruptive activities.
