This rule detects when an MDE offboarding package is downloaded.
This activity could indicate an attempt to remove an endpoint from security monitoring or management, potentially by an insider threat or an attacker attempting to evade detection.

Detects suspicious process creation activities executed by the SYSTEM user, specifically looking for known malicious programs or command-line parameters often associated with credential dumping, defense evasion, and privilege escalation techniques. This includes the use of tools like Mimikatz, Rubeus, ProcDump, and various PowerShell obfuscation methods, as well as commands related to shadow copy deletion and registry hive saving.

This rule detects modifications to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{CLSID}\InProcServer32 registry key where the RegistryValueData ends with ".dll" and does not point to common system directories (%systemroot%, C:\Program Files (x86)\, C:\Program Files\). This behavior is indicative of CLSID hijacking, a technique used by adversaries to achieve persistence or privilege escalation by redirecting legitimate COM object calls to a malicious DLL.

Detects when an API access service account is granted domain authority within Google Workspace. This action can be used by an attacker to gain persistent and elevated access to an organization's Google Workspace data and services by allowing a service account to impersonate users across the domain.

Detects the creation of a specific COM object registry key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive to hijack the legitimate 'twinapi.dll' component. This persistence technique (T1546.015) was used by the ForumTroll APT group to load the LeetAgent and Dante spyware.

Detects actions that disable Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) in Linux. This includes using the `personality` syscall with the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, modifying the `/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space` file, or executing the `sysctl` command to set `kernel.randomize_va_space=0`. Disabling ASLR can be used by attackers to bypass memory protection mechanisms and make memory corruption attacks more reliable, often during exploit development.

Detects Component Object Model (COM) hijacking used by the ForumTroll APT group for persistence. This rule identifies modifications to the registry where a malicious DLL is registered to be loaded by legitimate processes by overriding the CLSID for twinapi.dll in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.

Detects potential DLL sideloading associated with the Lazarus Group's DreamLoader campaign. This involves legitimate Windows executables (wkspbroker.exe, wksprt.exe) being executed from non-standard directories shortly after a DLL is created in the same location.

Detects an NTLM authentication attempt with an empty username field. This is a key indicator of the NTLM LDAP authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2025-54918), where an attacker coerces a SYSTEM account authentication and relays it to LDAP.

This rule detects suspicious execution of 'RUNDLL32.EXE' with specific command-line arguments. It looks for instances where 'RUNDLL32.EXE' is executed with both a backslash and a comma in the command line, combined with specific DLL names or keywords like 'iamnotarobot.dll', 'checkme.dll', 'machinerie.dll', 'humanCheck', or 'verifyme'. This pattern is often indicative of malicious DLL loading or persistence mechanisms.

Detects when an executable launches an identical instance of itself, a behavior often used to create a suspended “sacrificial” process for code injection or evasion. Investigate for indicators such as the process being started in suspended mode, rapid parent termination, memory manipulation (e.g., WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread), or unsigned binaries. Review command-line arguments, process ancestry, and network activity to confirm if this is legitimate behavior or process injection activity.

Detects WinRAR creating files in Windows startup locations, which may indicate an attempt to establish persistence by adding malicious files to the Startup folder. This behavior has been associated with exploitation of WinRAR path traversal vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-6218 or CVE-2025-8088.

CyberSecurityNews has reported a raising case about a new wave of phishing emails masquerading as breach notifications from LastPass.

To summarise, these emails claim that the recipient’s account has been compromised and urge them to download a “security patch” to restore access.
In reality, the attached file is a sophisticated malware loader built to steal credentials and deploy additional malicious payloads onto the victim’s system.

Each phishing message includes a ZIP attachment named 'LastPass_Security_Update' that contains an executable disguised as an MSI installer. When executed, the fake MSI installs a PowerShell script into the user’s AppData folder and schedules it to run via a scheduled task. The script then contacts a remote command-and-control server to download a second-stage payload capable of keylogging, taking screenshots, and moving laterally within corporate networks.

This following KQL Query is based on the IOA where the emails arrive with a .zip file attached and it content is a msi file. Using IOA instead the IOC (LastPass_Security_Update .zip) is more feasible because the malicious actors could easily change the zip name and the detection would not detect the mentioned threat.
