Detects instances where the process 'GRrte.exe' forcefully terminates 'iediagcmd.exe' using taskkill.exe. This activity is indicative of an attempt to disable or impair specific security diagnostic tools or EDR-related components on the host.
This rule detects potentially malicious activity where specific non-standard processes (e.g., RuntimeSSH.exe, MicDriver.exe, MsCache.exe) either execute PowerShell commands related to security feature tampering (disabling Windows Defender exclusions) or create persistent Registry run keys associated with these process names. This pattern is indicative of malware attempting to establish persistence or evade security controls.
This rule detects the deletion of critical Windows Defender security files (such as drivers and executables) by the System process. This behavior is highly indicative of an attempt to tamper with or disable security features on a host.
Detects a suspicious sequence of activity involving persistence via Registry Run keys (specifically targeting SMQDService or winappx entries) followed by modifications to Microsoft Defender configuration (adding exclusions via PowerShell) within a two-hour window on the same device.
This rule detects a multi-stage attack pattern consistent with a Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) chain. It identifies the installation of specific known vulnerable drivers (e.g., Alinubx.sys, nvfsflt64.sys) and the registration of a corresponding service (NvFsFilter), followed by the mass termination of various security software and EDR processes within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of an adversary using kernel-mode privileges to disable security controls.
Detects attempts to patch or disable Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) functionality by identifying memory modification operations targeting the 'EtwEventWrite' function or direct memory protection changes within 'ntdll.dll'. This is a common technique used by malware and post-exploitation tools to blind security telemetry.
This rule detects attempts by a process (specifically targeting PowerShell or .NET loaders) to tamper with Windows Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) components in memory. It correlates EDR or Sysmon events (process access, module loads) targeting 'amsi.dll' or involving specific AMSI API strings like 'AmsiScanBuffer' or 'AmsiInitFailed' with potential malicious loader activity.
Detects attempts to modify Windows Defender security settings by adding exclusions to the scan path using various PowerShell cmdlets or WMI methods. This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to evade detection by excluding malicious tools or directories from antivirus scanning.
Detects the addition of a file path exclusion to Windows Defender via the command-line registry utility (reg.exe), followed immediately by the execution of gpupdate to force a policy refresh. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to exclude malicious directories from security scanning and ensure the configuration change takes immediate effect.
Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender Tamper Protection via direct Registry modification or by executing PowerShell commands. Disabling Tamper Protection is a common tactic used by adversaries to facilitate further malicious activity, such as impairing security controls or deleting malware artifacts without interference from Windows Defender.
This rule detects multiple distinct methods of modifying, impairing, or disabling Microsoft Defender Antivirus exclusions and tamper protection settings. It identifies suspicious activity through PowerShell commands (Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference, Invoke-CimMethod, TamperProtection modification), direct registry modification of Defender exclusion paths, and the use of scheduled tasks to maintain or enforce these changes. The rule flags endpoints where two or more of these distinct techniques are observed in a 24-hour period.
Detects the ClosedQuorum 'unhook' evasion technique where a process patches ntdll's EtwEventWrite to suppress ETW telemetry, occurring within a 5-minute window of the same process initiating outbound network connections to known LLM C2 provider APIs or Discord webhooks used for AI-arbitrated decision cycles.
Detects the ClosedQuorum 'unhook' evasion technique where a process patches ntdll's EtwEventWrite to suppress ETW telemetry, occurring within a 5-minute window of the same process initiating outbound network connections to known LLM C2 provider APIs or Discord webhooks used for AI-arbitrated decision cycles.
Detects unexpected crashes or restarts of the Windows Defender service (MsMpEng.exe) occurring in temporal proximity to activities associated with the ShieldCrash PoC or tampering within the Windows Defender object manager namespace. This rule aims to identify potential exploitation attempts targeting Windows Defender, specifically correlating security service instability with known malicious indicators.
Detects the execution of taskkill.exe to forcibly terminate the iediagcmd.exe diagnostic process, initiated by the process GRrte.exe. This behavior is indicative of an attempt to impair security or diagnostic tools on the endpoint.
Detects suspicious post-exploitation activities, including service creation, local account modification, or security tool tampering, executed as SYSTEM shortly after activity associated with the ADSelfService Plus GINA logon-screen vulnerability (CVE-2026-74849).
Detects suspicious post-exploitation activities, including service creation, local account modification, or security tool tampering, executed as SYSTEM shortly after activity associated with the ADSelfService Plus GINA logon-screen vulnerability (CVE-2026-74849).
Detects the execution of RatHat, a Go-based Android native daemon masquerading as 'liblocal-service.so'. The rule identifies the malware's use of ADB-derived shell commands to bypass Android Doze mode, prioritize background execution, and tamper with installed applications via pm (package manager) commands.
Detects when a single process terminates two or more critical security, database, or backup related processes within a short window. This behavior is often associated with adversary attempts to disable security controls or disrupt database operations, commonly observed during the impact phase of an attack or preparatory to data destruction/encryption.
Detects when three or more critical security, database, or service processes are terminated on a Windows host within a short timeframe. This behavior is often indicative of an adversary attempting to disable security monitoring (e.g., Windows Defender/MsMpEng.exe) or perform disruptive activity against critical infrastructure (e.g., SQL Server processes).
This rule detects the execution, file presence, or driver loading associated with 'EDRKiller' and 'WarsawKiller', which are malicious tools used to terminate or disable endpoint security products.
