Detects attempts to disable, stop, or reconfigure security software (Antivirus, EDR, Endpoint Protection) on Windows endpoints by abusing legitimate administrative utilities such as sc.exe, net.exe, taskkill.exe, wmic.exe, and PowerShell to tamper with service configurations or kill security-related processes.

Detects the installation or loading of a non-standard kernel driver followed by the termination of known security/EDR agent processes. This behavior is indicative of a 'Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver' (BYOVD) attack, where attackers leverage kernel-level privileges from a vulnerable driver to bypass EDR protections and disable security tools prior to encryption or other malicious activities.

003
Detects a suspicious pattern of mass security process termination, where a process masquerading as legitimate consumer or gaming software (e.g., Kaspersky, Valorant, Javelin) repeatedly uses commands like taskkill, sc stop, or NtTerminateProcess to disable EDR agents and antivirus software within a short time window. This behavior is indicative of pre-ransomware staging activities used by threat actors.

Detects attempts to bypass or tamper with the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in-memory by monitoring command lines of common script-hosting processes (e.g., PowerShell, WScript, Rundll32) for strings indicative of AmsiScanBuffer patching, reflection, or manual configuration of AMSI initialization states.

Detects attempts to disable security services (Windows Defender, EDR agents), modify audit policies via auditpol, or stop/clear the Windows Event Log service. This behavior is a common precursor to post-compromise activity intended to blind defenders and conceal malicious actions.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender settings (e.g., disabling real-time monitoring, adding exclusions, or stopping services) using the Set-MpPreference cmdlet or service control commands. This technique is frequently utilized by ransomware actors, such as the ALPHV/BlackCat group, to neutralize security protections prior to executing malicious payloads.

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.

101
Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows Defender security controls within a short time window. This includes PowerShell commands to modify Defender preferences (e.g., disabling Real-time Monitoring or adding exclusions), modifications to Defender-related registry keys, and attempts to stop or disable the WinDefend service.

Detects a behavioral pattern characteristic of Everest ransomware, where a sequence of rapid process terminations occurs within a 20-second window. The rule identifies the coordinated termination of security/analysis tools, antivirus/backup/database services, and other high-memory processes on a single device, excluding known legitimate maintenance processes.

Detects unauthorized modification or deletion of AWS Bedrock guardrails. Adversaries may delete or degrade these guardrails (lowering sensitivity to 'NONE' or 'LOW') to bypass content filters, PII redaction, and safety controls, enabling toxic output generation or data exfiltration via LLM applications.

This rule detects activities associated with the MacSync backdoor, specifically focusing on persistence mechanisms such as LaunchAgent manipulation, .repair-run scripts, and suspicious GIT hook usage. It also correlates these events with the termination of macOS notification agents (BTMNotificationAgent, NotificationCenter, BackgroundTaskManagementAgent), which is a tactic used to suppress security alerts during malicious operations.

Detects the execution of the Kothamine injector by correlating three distinct stages: the use of PowerShell to create an AV exclusion for 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore', the dropping of the 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore' binary into the user's AppData directory, and subsequent process injection (OpenProcess/VirtualAllocEx/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread) into explorer.exe.

Detects sophisticated in-memory loader activity characterized by a sequence of events: process module loads involving AMSI patching (amsi.dll), fresh ntdll.dll remapping to bypass EDR hooks, and the enumeration of hypervisor-related drivers or services, often associated with advanced payload execution chains like ClickFix.

Detects the use of the sc.exe command-line utility to stop or disable the Microsoft Defender Antivirus service (WinDefend). This activity is often associated with ransomware, such as Nova ransomware, to bypass security controls prior to malicious encryption or data destruction.

Detects the use of PowerShell Set-MpPreference commands to disable multiple Microsoft Defender security features, including real-time monitoring, behavioral scanning, and threat detection actions. This activity is consistent with ransomware behavior, such as Nova or The Gentlemen families, attempting to neutralize endpoint protection before proceeding with malicious actions like file encryption.

Detects attempts to terminate security-related processes (AV/EDR) using common administrative tools including taskkill.exe, wmic.exe, and PowerShell Stop-Process. This behavior is frequently observed during the pre-encryption phase of ransomware attacks, such as Nova and Gentlemen, to evade detection.
