This rule detects when a member is removed from a security-enabled global group in a Windows environment. This activity is captured by Event IDs 633 and 4729 in the Windows Security event log. Such an action could indicate an attempt to reduce an account's privileges, remove an adversary's access, or modify group memberships for other malicious purposes.

Detects the loading of the System Informer tool's driver, 'SystemInformer.sys', by checking for its file name or specific SHA256 hashes. System Informer is a legitimate system monitoring tool that can be used by adversaries for reconnaissance or to gain deeper system insights, making its driver load a potential indicator of compromise or unauthorized activity.

This rule detects the creation of files with a '.scr' extension, which are typically Windows screensaver executable files. Adversaries may create or modify these files to establish persistence by executing malicious content when user inactivity triggers the screensaver. The rule includes filters to reduce false positives from known legitimate processes creating screensaver files, such as Kindle.exe, Symantec Endpoint Protection's ccSvcHst.exe, and TiWorker.exe creating uwfservicingscr.scr.

Detects potential exploitation of the BearLPE exploit using Task Scheduler ".job" import arbitrary DACL write. This rule specifically looks for the execution of 'schtasks.exe' with command-line arguments indicative of modifying an existing scheduled task's properties, such as changing the user account and password, which could be abused in privilege escalation scenarios.

Detects the creation of specific files associated with the Pingback backdoor, which is known to establish an ICMP tunnel for command and control (C2) communications. The rule specifically looks for 'updata.exe' being created and 'C:\Windows\oci.dll' as the target filename, as described in the Trustwave report.

This rule detects specific DLL sideloading activity observed to be used by the Diamond Sleet APT group. It looks for the loading of 'Version.dll' by 'clip.exe' or 'DSROLE.dll' by 'wsmprovhost.exe' when these executables and DLLs are located in the 'ProgramData' directory. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to execute malicious code by tricking legitimate applications into loading their crafted DLLs.

This rule detects failed attempts to elevate privileges (PIM activation) in Azure Active Directory from devices that are not designated as Privileged Access Workstations (PAW) or Secure Access Workstations (SAW). It specifically looks for messages indicating 'Add member to role completed (PIM activation)' in the sign-in logs, combined with conditions that identify non-compliant devices, unapproved IP addresses, unapproved countries, or unapproved device information. The rule is designed to flag suspicious privilege elevation attempts that originate from unauthorized or untrusted environments, which could indicate a compromised account or an attempt to bypass security controls.

This rule identifies when an admission controller is executed in Azure Kubernetes. Admission controllers intercept and potentially modify requests to the Kubernetes API server. Adversaries can leverage admission webhooks (MutatingAdmissionWebhook or ValidatingAdmissionWebhook) for persistence, such as injecting malicious containers into pods or intercepting API requests to steal credentials and sensitive information.

This rule detects sign-in attempts to Azure Active Directory from devices that are marked as non-compliant. Non-compliant devices typically lack required security configurations, updates, or policies, and their use for authentication can indicate a potential security risk, such as a compromised device or an attempt to bypass security controls.
