This rule monitors for additions of users to highly sensitive Active Directory groups, such as Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins, by tracking specific Windows security events (4728, 4732, 4756). Unauthorized membership changes in these groups are a classic indicator of privilege escalation or persistence maintenance by an adversary.
Detects modifications to sensitive Group Policy Object (GPO) attributes, specifically those related to file system paths, machine/user extensions, or version numbers, using Windows Security Event ID 5136. These attributes are often targeted during GPO modification to establish persistence, escalate privileges, or deploy malicious configurations across a domain.
Detects modifications to Active Directory user accounts by monitoring Security Event ID 4738. The rule filters out service accounts (those ending with '$') and ensures the target username is populated.
Detects Python executing a web-administration exploit with valid credential input and explicit two-factor bypass logic, matching the AI-assisted semantic trust-flaw exploitation described by GTIG.
This rule detects the creation of shortcut (.lnk) files within the Windows Startup folder initiated by potentially suspicious processes such as WinRAR, unrar, or PowerShell. This behavior is indicative of an attempt to achieve persistence by ensuring the execution of a malicious file upon user login.
Detects the execution of the 'unshare' utility with arguments that create new user, network, and mount namespaces (-U, -n, -r) by a non-root user. This technique is often used to bypass namespace restrictions or perform privilege escalation by gaining elevated capabilities within a new, user-controlled namespace.
Detects modifications to domain trust relationships, such as the creation of a new trust, removal of an existing trust, or changes to trusted domain information. Such events are monitored as they can indicate an adversary attempting to elevate privileges or establish persistence across a forest or multi-domain environment.
Detects explorer.exe making DNS requests to Discord or Telegram, which is anomalous and indicates potential process injection for data exfiltration. This behavior is associated with information stealer malware like Phantom Stealer.
Detects the execution of known Windows privilege escalation tools (often referred to as 'Potato' exploits) which leverage various Windows service vulnerabilities or print spooler manipulation to escalate user privileges to SYSTEM level.

This rule monitors for suspicious child processes (like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe, or rundll32.exe) spawned by dllhost.exe. Dllhost.exe is typically a legitimate Windows process for COM object hosting, and it spawning command-line interpreters or administrative utilities is often indicative of malicious activity, such as process injection or lateral movement.
Detects changes to the attributes of the AdminSDHolder object in Active Directory. The AdminSDHolder object is a template used by the Active Directory security descriptor propagator (SDProp) to enforce permissions on protected administrative groups. Modification of this object is a highly suspicious activity that can be used to establish persistence or grant excessive privileges by poisoning the security descriptors of all protected objects within the domain.
Detects modifications to Windows Registry keys commonly associated with COM hijacking. Attackers modify these keys to redirect legitimate system calls to malicious executables, achieving persistence and potential privilege escalation. This rule monitors for registry value creation or modification in keys related to shell open commands for MS-settings, MSC files, or executables.
Detects the creation of a randomly named .ocx file in temporary directories (AppData\Local\Temp or Windows\Temp) followed by its loading by a process. This behavior is indicative of OXLOADER malware staging shellcode, where 'dui70.dll' is often copied and renamed to a .ocx file. Exclusions are in place for common legitimate processes like msiexec.exe and regsvr32.exe.
Detects the loading of DLLs named 'Optimax.dll' or 'System Optimizer Ultimate.dll', which are associated with potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) or malicious software. The rule also identifies a specific malicious hash for 'Optimax.dll'.
Detects attempts to bypass User Account Control (UAC) using fodhelper.exe or eventvwr.exe. This rule specifically looks for these processes initiating other processes with 'High' or 'System' integrity levels, where the initiated process is not fodhelper.exe or eventvwr.exe itself. This behavior is indicative of UAC bypass techniques.
Detects successful user sign-ins from a country that has not been observed in the user's sign-in activity over the past 30 days. This baseline helps identify potentially compromised accounts by surfacing geographic anomalies.
Detects Vidar Stealer's technique of bypassing Chrome's Application-Bound Encryption by spawning a suspended Chrome instance with specific command-line flags for APC-based CryptUnprotectMemory injection, combined with accessing Chrome credential files (Login Data, Cookies, Local State) for cookie and password theft. This rule correlates process creation events of Chrome with suspicious command-line arguments and file access events to Chrome's credential stores by the same initiating process within a short time frame.
Detects various indicators associated with the SilverFox loader deploying the Sauron RAT, including registry markers, service creation, self-copying of svchost.exe, specific marker file artifacts, and known C2 communication.
This rule detects various activities associated with the SilverFox loader chain, including Defender exclusion modifications, suspicious child processes spawned from trojanized OEM binaries, VirtuOne DLL loading, scheduled task creation with specific names or unusual principals, creation of 'checktime.vbs' in public user directories, and masquerading of 'svchost.exe' in the Windows directory.
Detects activity associated with VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) frameworks, specifically looking for marker strings in process command lines and known VAPT malware names in file and process events. This rule aims to identify potential privilege escalation attempts or the presence of VAPT tools on a system.
