Detects the creation or modification of files within the "sudoers.d" directory on Linux systems.
Such activity may indicate an attempt to establish or maintain privilege escalation by granting specific users elevated permissions.
Unauthorized changes to sudoers files are a common technique used by attackers to persist administrative access.

also they are often targeted as sacrificial process or decoy process to check successful privilege escalation.

Detects the creation of a registry hive file (UsrClass.dat or NTUSER.DAT) outside of the standard user profile path.
These files generally contain various user-specific registry settings and are typically located in the user's profile directory.
Staging these files outside of the standard path can be indicative of an attacker attempting to manipulate user registry settings
for persistence, privilege escalation, or dump user registry hives for credential harvesting.

Detects potentially suspicious explicit credential logon events where the user
is trying to logon with explicit credentials (username and password) that are
different from the current user context. It might indicate an attacker attempting
to escalate privileges after obtaining credentials for a different user account.

Detects creation of Windows registry hive files (ntuser.dat or UsrClass.dat) outside the expected user profile path hierarchy. LegacyHive writes a modified ntuser.dat to a GUID-named staging directory at C:\ root (e.g. C:\{GUID}\ntuser.dat) and copies UsrClass.dat there as well to set up the oplock-based race condition. Any hive file materialising outside C:\Users\ or C:\Windows\ is a strong indicator of this exploit chain or equivalent offline hive manipulation.

This rule monitors Okta system logs for lifecycle events related to inbound Identity Providers (IdP), specifically creation, modification, activation, deactivation, or deletion. It flags these changes when initiated by clients identified as proxies or associated with known abused ASNs. This activity is indicative of potential cross-tenant impersonation where an attacker with administrative access adds a malicious IdP to federate and impersonate organizational users.

Detects potential User Account Control (UAC) bypass attempts using the PowerShell 'Start-Process' cmdlet with the 'runAs' verb, which requests administrative privileges for a new process. The rule also includes a specific check for command-line artifacts associated with the 'wipe32' malware campaign, which utilizes this method for privilege escalation.

This rule detects potential OAuth Device Code Flow phishing attacks where users are directed to malicious lure pages on romnor[.]ca to enter a Microsoft device code. It also alerts on authentication activity associated with a specific malicious OAuth client ID (d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c) known to be used by a phishing backend to poll and claim OAuth tokens.

Detects anomalous, automated data exfiltration cycles in Microsoft 365 environments consistent with the Helix threat group. The rule identifies a pattern of successful sign-ins followed within 6 hours by new MFA registration, suspicious SharePoint enumeration, and a high-frequency, non-human-paced burst of file downloads.

Detects suspicious use of the OAuth 2.0 device code authentication flow. The rule identifies potential token harvesting and phishing attempts by flagging device code sign-ins that originate from unusual user agents, unknown IP addresses or ASNs, unrecognized applications, or for users who have not previously utilized device code authentication. Legitimate, first-party applications like Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell are explicitly excluded to minimize noise.

This rule detects potential Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) activity related to a threat dubbed 'Rogue Planet'. It monitors for the creation of temporary files in the local AppData directory with a 'RP_' prefix and the usage of a specific named pipe named 'RoguePlanet'. The rule further isolates suspicious behavior by identifying processes that are not the standard Windows Error Reporting Manager (wermgr.exe) executing from its legitimate path.
