Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender Antivirus configurations, specifically adding file exclusions or disabling protection features like Real-time or IOAV monitoring. These actions are common indicators of an adversary attempting to disable security controls to evade detection.
This rule detects unauthorized attempts to modify CrowdStrike Falcon sensor exclusion registry keys or commands involving DLL loading techniques that may indicate evasion preparation, specifically referencing potential FalconFlank-related activities. It filters out legitimate management activity from known service accounts, SCCM, and the CrowdStrike Falcon agent itself.
This rule detects unauthorized modifications to browser search provider settings in the Windows Registry, targeting keys associated with Chrome and Microsoft Edge search configuration. This activity is often indicative of browser hijacking or search engine redirection campaigns, such as the NinjaMare malware.
Detects modifications to the PostgreSQL configuration file 'pg_hba.conf' closely followed by a reload command (via pg_ctl or postgres processes). This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to modify authentication or connection access controls for a database.
This rule detects the use of the LockAppHost process to execute suspicious commands associated with tampering with security configurations, including Windows Defender settings, service management (sc.exe), and task scheduling. Adversaries may abuse this process to bypass security controls, disable real-time monitoring, or maintain persistence.
Detects attempts to modify or disable the Windows Update service (wuauserv) using command-line utilities (sc.exe, cmd.exe, powershell.exe) in a context involving 'LockAppHost.exe'. This pattern is often associated with unauthorized attempts to tamper with security update mechanisms to prevent system patching.
Detects the use of 'schtasks.exe' to disable critical Windows Update or ExploitGuard Malware Removal tasks when initiated by 'LockAppHost.exe'. This behavior is highly irregular, as the LockAppHost process is typically associated with the Windows Lock Screen and should not be modifying security-related scheduled tasks.
Detects the use of PowerShell commands to add directory exclusions to Windows Defender settings. Adversaries often use this technique to exclude directories in 'AppData' from being scanned by antivirus solutions to hide malicious activity, tools, or persistence mechanisms.
This rule detects attempts by users to disable or clear command line history logs for shell environments, including PowerShell (e.g., modifying PSReadLine history) and Unix-like shells (e.g., unset HISTFILE, setting HISTSIZE to 0, or disabling history collection). Such actions are frequently performed by adversaries to hinder incident response and forensic analysis by obscuring their post-exploitation activity.
Detects rapid, repeated execution of process control utilities (kill, strace, inotifywait, timeout) directed at monitored processes, often used by malware (such as 'redtail') to disable security monitoring, debugging, or auditing tools on Linux systems.
Detects instances where a RedTail malware variant enumerates processes via the /proc filesystem to identify and terminate previous instances of itself using a kill signal.
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.
This rule detects instances where LockAppHost.exe or a variation of it (likely used as a proxy) initiates processes or command-line arguments that interact with Windows services, scheduled tasks, or Windows Defender configurations. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to disable security features, suppress Windows updates, or manipulate system services to evade detection.
Detects attempts to modify or disable the Windows Update service (wuauserv) using command-line utilities (sc.exe, cmd.exe, powershell.exe) in a context involving 'LockAppHost.exe'. This pattern is often associated with unauthorized attempts to tamper with security update mechanisms to prevent system patching.
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 unexpected crashes of major security software agents (e.g., Antivirus, EDR) that are not associated with authorized vendor update or installation activities, potentially indicating tampering or exploitation attempts to disable security controls.

This rule detects modifications to Group Policy Objects (GPO) or Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) policies that weaken established security controls. For GPO, it monitors Event ID 5136 for changes to security-relevant attributes (e.g., disabling firewall or real-time monitoring) in Active Directory. For Entra, it monitors audit logs for administrative operations that reduce security posture, such as disabling MFA, lowering authentication trust, or deleting Conditional Access policies. It includes filters to exclude legitimate, documented change management activities.
