1,243 detections

This rule detects Windows devices running an antivirus platform version that is not '4.18.26030.3011'. This could indicate an outdated antivirus installation, which might be a result of defense evasion tactics or a failure in update mechanisms, leaving the system vulnerable.

Detects attempts to disable Windows EventLog autologger sessions via registry modification.
The AutoLogger event tracing session records events that occur early in the operating system boot process.
Applications and device drivers can use the AutoLogger session to capture traces before the user logs in.
Adversaries may disable these sessions to evade detection and prevent security monitoring of early boot activities and system events.

Detects tampering with autologger trace sessions which is a technique used by attackers to disable logging.
The AutoLogger event tracing session records events up that occur early in the operating system boot process.
Applications and device drivers can use the AutoLogger session to capture traces before the user logs in, and also used by security solutions as telemetry source.
Adversaries may disable these sessions to evade detection and prevent security monitoring of early boot activities and system events.

Detects the execution of Google Chrome with the '--simulate-outdated-no-au' command-line argument. This flag is used to disable Chrome's auto-update mechanism, a technique observed being used by adware and malware, such as Dragon Boss Solutions payloads, to lock users into a modified, vulnerable browser version.

Detects tampering of AMSI (Anti-Malware Scan Interface) related registry values via command line tools such as reg.exe or PowerShell.
AMSI provides a generic interface for applications and services to integrate with antimalware products.
Adversaries may disable AMSI to evade detection of malicious scripts and code execution.

Detects the tampering of Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity (HVCI) related registry values via command line tool reg.exe.
HVCI uses virtualization-based security to protect code integrity by ensuring that only trusted code can run in kernel mode.
Adversaries may tamper with HVCI to load malicious or unsigned drivers, which can be used to escalate privileges, maintain persistence, or evade security mechanisms.

Detects the full kill-chain used by modern ransomware operators (RansomHub, LockBit affiliates, BlackCat/ALPHV, FIN7) who deploy EDR killers (EDRKillShifter, AvNeutralizer/AuKill, Terminator, RealBlindingEDR, GhostDriver/Poortry, Backstab) in the pre-encryption phase. These tools use the BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) technique — loading a legitimately-signed but vulnerable kernel driver (rtcore64.sys, gdrv.sys, truesight.sys, dbutil_2_3.sys, mhyprot2.sys, procexp152.sys, aswarpot.sys, zam64.sys) as a kernel service, then abusing its IOCTLs to terminate protected EDR processes from kernel space, bypassing PPL. This pack contains 10 queries covering vulnerable driver loads, drivers dropped to user-writable paths, kernel service creation, known EDR-killer binaries, Defender/EDR service tampering, mass security-process termination bursts, unsigned kernel loads, registry-based Defender tampering, full driver→service→kill chain correlation within 1h, and a hash-free behavioural catch-all (unsigned loader → sc.exe create kernel service within 60s).

Detects attempts to disable AMSI (Anti-Malware Scan Interface) by modifying the AmsiEnable registry value.
Anti-Malware Scan Interface (AMSI) is a security feature in Windows that allows applications and services to integrate with anti-malware products for enhanced protection against malicious content.
Adversaries may attempt to disable AMSI to evade detection by security software, allowing them to execute malicious scripts or code without being scanned.
