Detects PowerShell launched hidden and non-interactive with an insecure execution policy and Base64 decode-and-execute, or a script combining Base64 decode-and-execute with browser history collection and WMI shadow copy enumeration, as seen in the Midnight Blizzard (GTG-20006) stager.
Detects a Chrome/Edge WebDriver process launched with headless and
automation-hiding command-line flags (--headless combined with --disable-infobars
or excludeSwitches enable-automation/test-type). Astaroth's spambot component uses
this exact flag combination to drive a hidden browser instance against an active
WhatsApp Web session, sending spam to every Brazil-based contact without ever
displaying a window to the victim.

Detects the execution of conhost.exe with the --headless flag, which is commonly observed in Kimsuky LNK-based malware campaigns to execute encoded cmd.exe payloads. This pattern involves the use of certutil or echo commands to deobfuscate and execute embedded scripts, often leveraging hidden windows or process hollowing techniques for persistence and evasion.
Detects the execution of PowerShell from web browser parent processes (chrome, edge, firefox, iexplore) using obfuscation techniques (hidden window, encoded command, no profile) combined with an indicator of WebDAV access (DavWWWRoot), which is commonly used to execute payloads from remote network shares.
This rule detects potential usage of Hidden VNC (hVNC) tools by monitoring for specific command-line arguments (such as 'hvnc-input', 'hvnc-desktop', or 'HVNC_Telegram') and Windows events related to the creation or switching of desktops (e.g., 'CreateDesktop', 'SwitchDesktop'). hVNC is a common technique used by malware to establish a hidden remote desktop session for unauthorized access and control without alerting the user.
Detects instances where PowerShell is launched as a child process of WScript.exe or CScript.exe with suspicious command line flags intended to hide window visibility, bypass execution policies, or run in a non-interactive mode. This behavior is frequently used by adversaries to execute obfuscated or malicious scripts while minimizing user awareness.
Detects malicious PowerShell command chains often used in ClickFix campaigns. These commands typically move zip files from the user's Downloads directory to a temporary folder, extract them using the tar utility, and execute an embedded PowerShell script using conhost in headless mode. This technique is designed to bypass AMSI command-line inspection by offloading the actual payload execution to an extracted, unmonitored script.
Detects instances where a parent Node.js process spawns a child Node.js process using a command line structure often associated with malicious npm packages. These packages frequently attempt to execute loader scripts in a detached or background manner to evade detection while maintaining persistence or performing malicious operations.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line flags often associated with malicious scripts (e.g., hidden windows, no profile, bypassed execution policies) when the script is located in the Windows Temporary directory.
Detects the execution of suspected Hidden VNC (HVNC) backdoor components that demonstrate behaviors consistent with banking credential theft, specifically targeting keystroke logging APIs. The rule monitors for specific process names executing from suspicious directories often used for persistence.
Detects the spawning of a hidden PowerShell process by wscript.exe via conhost.exe with the --headless argument. This pattern is characteristic of the LausivLoader malware, which utilizes obfuscated command-line arguments to execute hidden PowerShell scripts.
This rule detects potentially malicious PowerShell activity executed from Windows Explorer with obfuscated arguments (-enc, -w hidden) in conjunction with access to the Windows RunMRU registry key, which tracks commands executed via the Windows Run dialog.
Detects instances where wscript.exe spawns conhost.exe with a headless flag, which in turn executes PowerShell with hidden, encoded command-line arguments. This pattern is often indicative of multi-stage malware loaders attempting to obfuscate execution and bypass security monitoring.
Detects the execution of batch files from temporary directories that employ command obfuscation techniques such as environment variable substring expansion, or which execute with a hidden window in conjunction with chained system utilities commonly associated with malicious activities (e.g., curl, tar, schtasks). This behavior is often indicative of staged payload delivery and execution.

This behavior is often indicative of staged payload delivery and execution.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with specific command-line arguments (-NonInteractive, -NoProfile, -Command) often used by the Bird Agent backdoor or similar malicious scripts to execute code silently without user intervention or profile configuration.
Detects successful network connections to a known hVNC RAT (GapiUpdate) C2 infrastructure IP address on port 5556, based on DeviceNetworkEvents logs.

Detects the creation of specific mutex objects ('AppUpdateHelper' or 'WinSvc') commonly associated with Hidden VNC (hVNC) backdoors. These mutexes are used by the malware to ensure only one instance is running on the host, and the regex pattern targets the specific naming convention (including a hex suffix) utilized by these threats.
Detects PowerShell command lines that attempt to hide the console window by calling ShowWindowAsync from user32.dll while assigning a randomly generated GUID as the window title. This technique is used to evade detection by keeping malicious PowerShell activity invisible to the user, as seen in recent StealC infostealer loader chains.
