Detects the termination of 'wscript.exe' using 'taskkill.exe' or PowerShell 'Stop-Process'. This behavior is commonly used by malicious loaders to stop script-based execution after a payload has been staged or executed to minimize forensic artifacts and potential detection by defenders monitoring long-running processes.
Detects evidence of anti-forensic activities associated with the SparroWocky toolset. The rule monitors for the removal of the 'ProcAuditManager' service, deletion of the 'SnapCart' registry key, and the execution of a self-deleting batch script used to remove forensic artifacts.
Detects the use of PowerShell, pwsh, or cmd to execute the 'Add-MpPreference' command with the '-ExclusionPath' parameter, specifically targeting common directories like Telegram Desktop or specific system directories. This activity suggests an attempt to bypass security scanning by excluding known malicious locations or folders from Microsoft Defender's real-time monitoring.
This rule detects the process 'ShieldCrash.exe' accessing or interacting with the Windows ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) configuration directory. ELAM drivers are critical components for secure boot and early malware detection; unauthorized access or manipulation by unknown processes may indicate an attempt to tamper with security tools or evade endpoint protection.
Detects EDRKiller.exe or WarsawKiller.exe binaries and the associated wsftprm.sys BYOVD driver used by The Gentlemen threat actor to terminate security product processes

This rule detects the use of the 'Add-MpPreference' PowerShell cmdlet with the '-ExclusionPath' argument to add specific file or directory paths to Microsoft Defender's exclusion list. This behavior is a common technique used by adversaries to bypass security controls by ensuring malicious tools or scripts are not scanned by Windows Defender. The rule specifically alerts on exclusions related to common staging areas or specific tools such as Telegram Desktop, SSH cache folders, and package management directories.
Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender (MpPreference) settings by adding specific directories or files to the exclusion list. This behavior is frequently associated with adversaries attempting to evade security detection by ensuring malicious tools, staged payloads, or persistent files remain unscanned by the antivirus engine.
Detects in-memory modification of the ntdll.dll module to patch EtwEventWrite or EtwEventWriteFull functions, a technique used by adversaries to evade Windows event tracing and suppress telemetry. The rule specifically targets activities originating from w3wp.exe, consistent with behavior observed in IIS-hosted deployments like GhostContainer.
Detects in-memory modification of the ntdll.dll module to patch EtwEventWrite or EtwEventWriteFull functions, a technique used by adversaries to evade Windows event tracing and suppress telemetry. The rule specifically targets activities originating from w3wp.exe, consistent with behavior observed in IIS-hosted deployments like GhostContainer.
Detects in-memory modification of the ntdll.dll module to patch EtwEventWrite or EtwEventWriteFull functions, a technique used by adversaries to evade Windows event tracing and suppress telemetry. The rule specifically targets activities originating from w3wp.exe, consistent with behavior observed in IIS-hosted deployments like GhostContainer.
Detects in-memory modification of the ntdll.dll module to patch EtwEventWrite or EtwEventWriteFull functions, a technique used by adversaries to evade Windows event tracing and suppress telemetry. The rule specifically targets activities originating from w3wp.exe, consistent with behavior observed in IIS-hosted deployments like GhostContainer.
This rule detects attempts by an IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) to tamper with or disable the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) by monitoring for specific non-standard provider registrations or scan buffer patching events. This activity often indicates an attacker attempting to bypass security scanning within a web-based application process.
Detects attempts by PowerShell processes to modify the memory space of amsi.dll, a common technique used to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) by patching its functions in-memory.
Detects the use of bcdedit.exe to modify the boot configuration to enable 'safeboot' with 'network' (Safe Mode with Networking). This technique is often used by adversaries to bypass security software that may not load or function correctly in Safe Mode.
Detects the execution of PowerShell or Rundll32 processes with command-line arguments that reference Anti-Malware Scan Interface (AMSI) components. This is a common indicator of an attempt to bypass or disable AMSI to facilitate the execution of malicious scripts or payloads.
Detects processes attempting to read the ntdll.dll file directly from the disk, a technique commonly associated with EDR bypass attempts where adversaries map a fresh copy of the library to overwrite hooked syscall functions (e.g., NtAllocateVirtualMemory/NtWriteVirtualMemory) to evade detection. The rule excludes common, legitimate system processes that may legitimately access this file during startup or normal operation.
Detects the use of PowerShell, pwsh, or cmd to execute the 'Add-MpPreference' command with the '-ExclusionPath' parameter, specifically targeting common directories like Telegram Desktop or specific system directories. This activity suggests an attempt to bypass security scanning by excluding known malicious locations or folders from Microsoft Defender's real-time monitoring.
Detects the execution of PowerShell commands containing indicators of AMSI or ETW unhooking (e.g., references to amsi.dll, AmsiScanBuffer, EtwEventWrite, or VirtualProtect). This activity is commonly associated with attackers attempting to bypass endpoint security telemetry and antimalware scanning mechanisms prior to executing malicious payloads.
Detects command-line activity associated with Monkey ransomware, specifically attempts to bypass AMSI (patching AmsiScanBuffer, targeting AmsiUtils), disable ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) monitoring, and add Microsoft Defender exclusions to evade detection prior to encryption.
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.
