This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events where a process related to Electron (a framework often used for cross-platform desktop applications) executes a hidden, obfuscated PowerShell command, followed by a subsequent PowerShell command to modify Microsoft Defender settings by adding an exclusion path for the 'AppData' directory within 10 minutes of the first process.

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 execution of PowerShell commands containing indicators of in-memory AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) patching, specifically referencing AmsiScanBuffer, AmsiScanString, or AmsiOpenSession in conjunction with amsi.dll. This behavior is associated with the initialization stage of LausivLoader prior to its payload retrieval phase.

Detects execution of PowerShell scripts attempting to modify Windows Defender settings by adding directory exclusions (including the C:\ drive) via cmdlets like Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference, or WMI/CIM methods, often followed by a forced Group Policy refresh. This pattern is associated with malicious staging activity, including malware loaders like LausivLoader.

Detects attempts to patch ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) functions such as EtwEventWrite within the memory space of PowerShell or PWSH processes. This is a common technique used by attackers to suppress telemetry and evade security monitoring tools, often associated with bypassing AMSI/ETW logging mechanisms.

Detects attempts to bypass or tamper with the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) via direct memory modification or through script command-line arguments. The rule monitors DeviceEvents for AMSI-specific events (e.g., buffer patching, provider tampering) and looks for common PowerShell and scripting engine command-line patterns indicative of AMSI bypass techniques.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task configured to run under the SYSTEM account that executes a command to add a Windows Defender exclusion using Add-MpPreference. This technique is often used to ensure persistence of security exclusions by re-applying them automatically with high privileges, even if an interactive user attempts to remove them.

This rule detects two potentially malicious activities: the addition of exclusions to Windows Defender using reg.exe, which can be used to hide malicious files from security scanning, and the forceful update of Group Policy using gpupdate.exe with /force and /wait:0, which can be used to propagate malicious policy changes or force re-application of settings.

This rule detects unauthorized memory modification of ntdll.dll, specifically targeting the EtwEventWrite function, by identifying processes writing to memory regions with execution-permission flags (e.g., PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries attempting to blind Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) telemetry, often following suspicious .NET assembly loading (such as Assembly.Load) typical of malware loaders like LausivLoader.

Detects attempts to modify Microsoft Defender settings, such as adding file path exclusions via PowerShell, Registry manipulation, or Scheduled Tasks, as well as disabling Tamper Protection. These actions are commonly used by attackers to evade security monitoring by hiding malicious files or disabling protective features.

Detects PowerShell execution commands attempting to disable Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) by reflectively accessing System.Management.Automation.AmsiUtils. This is a common technique used by attackers to execute malicious scripts while avoiding detection by security software.

This rule detects potential attempts to tamper with or bypass Windows Defender by monitoring for files or processes named 'ShieldCrash' occurring in close temporal proximity to the creation or modification of files within Windows Defender's shadow or scan directories (BaseNamedObjects\Restricted\WD_SHADOW_ or WD_SCAN). This behavior is often associated with malware attempting to evade security detection.

Detects pre-encryption defensive measures employed by the Monkey ransomware C++ variant. This rule triggers on behaviors including Microsoft Defender exclusion management, disabling of AMSI or ETW components, manipulation of system security settings via registry, and attempts to clear PowerShell or command-line history to facilitate anti-forensic evasion.

Detects the use of the 'Add-MpPreference' PowerShell cmdlet with the '-ExclusionPath' parameter, which is used to add file, folder, or extension exclusions to Microsoft Defender. Attackers frequently use this technique to prevent security software from scanning or detecting malicious files or directories.
