Detects a multi-stage process execution chain involving PowerShell: first, a script-based download of remote content, followed by in-memory reflection, and finally, suspicious memory allocation or thread manipulation within the same process context. This pattern is characteristic of fileless malware execution chains designed to evade disk-based detection.

Detects the Kothamine post-installation technique where npm/node spawns PowerShell to reflectively load a .NET assembly stager into memory. This behavior is followed by the PowerShell process spawning anomalous instances of RuntimeBroker.exe or svchost.exe. These spawned processes exhibit suspicious characteristics, such as executing from non-standard file paths, having missing command-line arguments (like the required '-k' for svchost), or having an illegitimate parent process (powershell.exe) instead of standard system parents like services.exe or wininit.exe.

Detects the execution of PowerShell commands that reflectively load .NET assemblies into memory, followed immediately by a process injection event targeting Chromium-based browsers (e.g., chrome.exe) or Firefox. This behavior is highly characteristic of credential harvesting tools like BoundSiphon, which injects code into browser processes to decrypt and extract App-Bound encryption keys.

Detects instances where an unexpected process loads both 'amsi.dll' and .NET runtime modules ('clr.dll' or 'mscoree.dll'). This behavior is frequently associated with malicious, position-independent shellcode that attempts to disable AMSI scanning and host the CLR in-memory to execute malicious .NET assemblies or payloads, avoiding standard .NET execution environments like PowerShell or msbuild.exe.

This rule detects potentially malicious in-memory module loading, such as Beacon Object File (BOF) execution, on hosts already identified as exhibiting suspicious behavior related to MLTBackdoor or sideloading activity. It monitors for memory allocation or protection changes (AllocateVirtualMemory, VirtualProtect, CreateRemoteThread) that result in executable memory (RWX or execute-only) without a corresponding file on disk, which is a common indicator of fileless code injection.

Detects the creation of a remote thread targeting the native Windows utility 'attrib.exe'. This behavior is characteristic of code injection techniques, such as those used by the Sauron loader, where malicious shellcode is executed within the context of a legitimate system process to evade detection and maintain persistence.

This rule detects the suspicious pattern of a process reading a 'pool.db' file followed immediately by the loading of .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) modules (clr.dll or mscoreei.dll). This behavior is characteristic of fileless execution chains where a secondary payload is retrieved and executed directly in memory.

Detects the SharePoint application pool worker process (w3wp.exe) spawning command-line interpreters or scripting engines. This behavior is indicative of post-exploitation activity where an attacker, having gained remote code execution via techniques like insecure deserialization, executes commands or deploys in-memory webshells within the context of the IIS worker process.

Detects process injection behaviors (e.g., remote thread creation, memory allocation) targeting the attrib.exe process. Such activity is often associated with process hollowing or reflective shellcode injection, consistent with loader behavior used to execute in-memory payloads within legitimate, rarely-used system utilities.

Detects instances where a process spawns a child process using the exact same executable image path, specifically when the executable is located in user-writable directories such as Downloads or AppData\Local\Temp. This behavior is a common indicator of process hollowing or self-injection techniques used by malware, such as loaders that decrypt payloads in memory and then spawn a new, hollowed instance of themselves to execute the malicious code, frequently observed during post-exploitation activities.

Detects unsigned or non-standard Python processes loading core Windows system modules like kernel32.dll or ntdll.dll. This behavior is consistent with NarwhalRAT's fileless execution technique, which utilizes ctypes to interact with low-level Windows APIs (VirtualAlloc, RtlMoveMemory, CFUNCTYPE) for in-memory payload allocation and execution, bypassing traditional disk-based detection.

Detects memory allocation (VirtualAlloc/AllocateVirtualMemory) or protection (VirtualProtect/ProtectVirtualMemory) API calls performed with 'EXECUTE_READWRITE' permissions where the call stack is missing, unbacked, or contains unknown modules. This behavior is highly indicative of code injection techniques where an adversary attempts to execute shellcode or reflectively load a payload into memory while attempting to hide the origin of the execution.
