This rule looks for PowerShell processes with specific flags to bypass execution policy and accept piped input, combined with distinctive randomized script extensions (.yiz.ps1 or .unx.ps1) typically used by this malware.

0018
Detects an adversary stopping or killing the syslog daemon (syslog,
rsyslog, or syslog-ng), which is responsible for forwarding system
events to /var/log and to SIEM collectors.

Stopping the syslog daemon is distinct from clearing existing logs --
it cuts the live telemetry pipeline at the source. Any activity
occurring after the daemon is stopped produces no log records
whatsoever, creating a blind spot.

This rule detects attempts to disable Windows Defender and Windows Firewall via registry modifications using the 'reg add' command. Specifically, it looks for command-line arguments that include 'add', 'REG_DWORD', and keywords related to disabling Defender features (DisableAntiSpyware, DisableBehaviorMonitoring, DisableRealTimeMonitoring, DisableOAVProtection) or the 'mpssvc' service, along with setting the value to '4' or '1'. This activity is often associated with malware attempting to evade security controls.
