Detects the creation of a 'WSPrint' scheduled task followed by deletion of its Security Descriptor (SD) registry value. Deleting the SD value hides the task from schtasks /query and Task Scheduler. This technique is used by UAT-9244 for stealthy persistence and is also associated with HAFNIUM/Tarrask.

Detects the creation or modification of a Claude Code settings file (`.claude/settings.json`). This file can be configured to automatically approve Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by setting `enableAllProjectMcpServers` to `true` or by using `enabledMcpjsonServers`. This bypasses security prompts designed to warn users about potential command execution, which can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) as described in CVE-2025-59536.

Detects the loading of specific vulnerable drivers ('zam64.sys', 'UpdateCheckerX64.sys') used by ransomware groups like CrazyHunter and Interlock to terminate security products. The query combines multiple data sources to detect different stages of BYOVD activity, including driver file creation, registry entries for service creation, and command-line activity related to driver loading.

This rule set detects indicators of compromise associated with the RESURGE activity targeting Ivanti Connect Secure devices, as described by CISA. It looks for specific file hashes, the presence of a covert socket path (.logsrv), and modifications to key Ivanti filesystem artifacts such as LD_PRELOAD, DSUpgrade.pm, coreboot.img, and scanner.py. A match indicates potential compromise and requires further investigation to confirm the asset role, timing of file appearance, and comparison with approved maintenance windows. If hits are found, collect logs and file copies, reduce external exposure, and look for unusual activity like unexpected administrator actions or unfamiliar outbound connections.

The rule detects an object access event (Event ID 4663) initiated by Windows Defender, where the target file is located outside the legitimate Microsoft Defender directories (C:\Windows\System32\ or C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\), indicating potential usage of a tool like "EDRStartupHinder".

Detects attempts to modify the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) using bcdedit.exe. This rule specifically looks for commands that delete boot entries or values, enable safe boot with networking, disable recovery, or ignore boot status policy failures. Such modifications can be used by adversaries to establish persistence, evade defenses, or disrupt system recovery.

The rule detects the execution of the devcon.exe process with a command-line argument containing the word "disable". This is a strong indicator that an attempt is being made to disable one or more hardware devices on the system, which is highly suspicious outside of legitimate administrative or deployment activities.

The rule detects object access events (Event ID 4663) targeting files within the \Windows\System32\AppLocker directory. This identifies unauthorized attempts to read, write, or delete the system's application control policy cache, a behavior indicative of an attempt to tamper with endpoint security defenses.

This rule detects DYNOWIPER malware. It uses two primary detection methods: 1. Known SHA256 hashes of DYNOWIPER samples as published in a report. 2. A string-based detection logic derived from CERT Polska, as reproduced in the Elastic DYNOWIPER reporting. This logic looks for specific strings related to file paths, error messages, and Windows API calls, combined with a check for the 'SeShutdownPrivilege' string and a file size constraint, within a PE file (identified by the 'MZ' header).
