This rule detects the termination of critical security software processes (e.g., antivirus agents) by a process that has recently acquired SeDebugPrivilege. This behavior is indicative of a malicious actor attempting to disable endpoint security controls to evade detection.

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 the loading or usage of the malicious driver 'DCRCVDrv.sys' associated with the ClearFake crypto stealer campaign, which uses a Bring-Your-Own-Vulnerable-Driver (BYOVD) technique to interact with the device path '\Device\DCRCVDRV_U' to terminate or impair EDR and security tools.

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.

This rule detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender settings to disable real-time, behavior, and IOAV protection, while simultaneously adding a full-drive exclusion for the root directory (C:\). This behavior is characteristic of an adversary attempting to disable security monitoring to facilitate further malicious activity or avoid detection.

This rule detects suspicious file operations (creation, modification, or renaming) initiated by MsMpEng.exe (Microsoft Defender Antivirus) involving specific indicators related to ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) or 'ShieldCrash' components. These indicators often suggest tampering attempts or the presence of tools designed to interfere with Defender's security operations by targeting its configuration, staging, or protected storage locations.

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.

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.

This rule detects unauthorized modifications to sensitive Windows registry keys related to SCHANNEL ciphers, protocols, or FIPS algorithm policies. It specifically identifies when these security settings are weakened (e.g., enabling insecure algorithms or disabling security defaults) by interactive users rather than authorized system processes or configuration management tools like Intune or SCCM.

Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows security controls, including disabling Windows SmartScreen via registry, bulk removal of Mark-of-the-Web (Zone.Identifier) via scripting, and disabling driver signature enforcement (TestSigning/NoIntegrityChecks) using BCDedit. These actions are indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass security protections to facilitate the execution of untrusted or malicious code.

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.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the manipulation of Windows services using 'sc.exe' to stop or delete services, combined with the forceful termination of 'svchost.exe' processes via 'wmic.exe'. This pattern is often associated with adversaries attempting to disable security tools, logging agents, or other defensive mechanisms on an endpoint.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender security settings by adding exclusion paths or processes. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to whitelist malicious files or processes to evade detection by the antivirus solution.
