Detects the execution of Scheduled Tasks where the program being run is located in a suspicious location or it's an unusual program to be run from a Scheduled Task. This rule specifically looks for Event ID 129 (Created Task Process) in the Task Scheduler Operational logs and checks if the executable path contains common temporary or user-download directories.

Detects a phishing attack which expands a ZIP file containing a malicious shortcut. If the victim expands the ZIP file via the explorer process, then the explorer process expands the malicious ZIP file and drops a malicious shortcut redirected to a backdoor into the Startup folder. Additionally, the file name of the malicious shortcut in Startup folder contains {0AFACED1-E828-11D1-9187-B532F1E9575D} meaning the folder shortcut operation.

Detects potential DLL sideloading of 'AVKkid.dll' by monitoring image load events. The rule specifically looks for 'AVKkid.dll' being loaded by any process, and then filters out legitimate loads by G DATA antivirus software from its expected installation paths. This helps identify malicious instances where 'AVKkid.dll' might be used for persistence, defense evasion, or privilege escalation outside of its legitimate context.

Detects the execution of the hacktool SharPersist, which is used to deploy various persistence mechanisms on Windows systems. The rule specifically identifies SharPersist.exe being executed with command-line arguments indicative of creating scheduled tasks, modifying startup folders, adding registry run keys, or installing new services for persistence.

This rule detects the creation of a suspicious child process by 'userinit.exe'. Userinit.exe is a legitimate Windows process responsible for initializing the user environment during logon. Malicious actors may attempt to leverage or compromise this process to execute arbitrary code, establish persistence, or elevate privileges. The rule specifically filters out legitimate child processes like 'explorer.exe' and processes related to netlogon to reduce false positives.

Detects modifications to registry keys associated with Microsoft Office add-ins, which can be used for persistence. Adversaries may abuse these autostart extensibility points (ASEPs) to execute malicious code every time an Office application starts.

This rule detects modifications to the 'DelegateExecute' registry value within the 'HKCU\Software\Classes\Folder\shell\open\command' key. This specific registry modification is a known technique used for COM hijacking, often leveraged in UAC bypasses, such as those involving sdclt.exe. An attacker can modify this key to execute an arbitrary program when a user attempts to open a folder, leading to persistence or privilege escalation.

Detects the setting of a new value in the Windows Registry Run key that is used by the Kapeka backdoor for persistence. Specifically, it looks for entries in `SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run` that end with `\Sens Api` or `\OneDrive` and contain `rundll32.exe`, `.wll`, and `#1` in their details, which are indicators of Kapeka's persistence mechanism.

This rule detects the creation of scheduled tasks using `schtasks.exe` where the parent process originates from a suspicious temporary or user-specific directory. Adversaries often use scheduled tasks for persistence and privilege escalation, and executing the task creation utility from locations like `Temp`, `AppData\Local`, `AppData\Roaming`, `Temporary Internet Files`, or `Users\Public` can indicate malicious activity. Multiple malware strains have been observed employing this technique.

Detects the setting of a registry value within the `\Shell\Open\Command` key using PowerShell classes from the `System.Security.Cryptography` namespace. This technique can be used by adversaries for defense evasion, for example, to decrypt malicious payloads on the fly.

This rule detects the successful creation of a new administrative account within an Azure environment. It specifically looks for audit log entries indicating both 'Add user' and 'Add member to role' actions occurring successfully, which signifies a user being created and then assigned a privileged role.

This rule detects the creation of an executable file named 'program.exe' directly in the root of the C:\ drive. This specific file name and location are commonly associated with attempts to exploit unquoted service paths, where an attacker places a malicious executable in a higher-level directory to be executed instead of the legitimate program due to the lack of quotation marks in the service path.

This rule detects file write operations performed by 'scrcons.exe' (WMI Scripting Host). This activity is indicative of WMI persistence mechanisms, specifically the creation or modification of WMI script event consumers. Adversaries often use WMI event subscriptions to establish persistence and execute arbitrary code when a defined event occurs, such as system startup or user logon. The detection focuses on the 'Image' field, looking for the specific WMI scripting host executable.
