Detects the creation or modification of an unsigned Spotlight importer (.mdimporter) bundle within a user's Library/Spotlight directory on macOS. This activity is indicative of the Sploitlight TCC bypass technique (CVE-2025-31199), where an attacker leverages a malicious, unsigned importer to gain unauthorized access to TCC-protected data via the mds/mdworker processes.
This analytic detects when a known remote access software is added to common persistence locations on a device within the environment. Adversaries use these utilities to retain remote access capabilities to the environment. The detection specifically looks for modifications to the 'Run' registry keys or 'ImagePath' values within service registry keys, which are common methods for establishing persistence. The rule leverages a lookup table containing known remote access tools such as AnyDesk, GoToMyPC, LogMeIn, and TeamViewer.
Detects potential_APT-style process hollowing on Linux using syscall stubs and string camouflage
Detects the creation of a Spotlight importer bundle (.mdimporter) in a user's Library directory. This is a key step in the Sploitlight TCC bypass technique (CVE-2025-31199), where an attacker places a malicious importer to be executed with elevated privileges by the mds_stores process, allowing unauthorized access to TCC-protected data.
The following analytic detects potential RDP Hijacking attempts by identifying the creation of a Windows service using sc.exe with a binary path that includes tscon.exe. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process creation events and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as it indicates an attacker may be trying to hijack a disconnected RDP session, posing a risk of unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could gain control over an existing user session, leading to potential data theft or further system compromise.
The analytic detects an unusually high number of denied Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requests for a single user within a 10-minute window, specifically when more than nine MFA prompts are declined. It leverages Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) sign-in logs, focusing on "Sign-in activity" events with error code 500121 and additional details indicating "MFA denied; user declined the authentication." This behavior is significant as it may indicate a targeted attack or account compromise attempt, with the user actively declining unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, it could lead to data exfiltration, lateral movement, or further malicious activities.
Detects the reconfiguration of a virtual machine where a virtual disk (.vmdk) from a different, often critical, VM is attached. This is a key tactic used by threat actors like UNC3944 to perform offline credential theft by mounting a Domain Controller's disk to a staging VM to access the NTDS.dit file.
The following analytic detects potential malicious activities involving PowerShell's task scheduling cmdlets. It leverages PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode 4104) to identify unusual or suspicious use of cmdlets like 'New-ScheduledTask' and 'Set-ScheduledTask'. This activity is significant as attackers often use these cmdlets for persistence and remote execution of malicious code. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to maintain access, deliver additional payloads, or execute ransomware, leading to data theft or other severe impacts. Immediate investigation and mitigation are crucial to prevent further compromise.
Detects changes to the Windows EventLog channel permission values. It focuses on changes to the Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string, as modifications to these values can restrict access to specific users or groups, potentially aiding in defense evasion by controlling who can view or modify a event log channel. Upon execution, the user shouldn't be able to access the event log channel via the event viewer or via utilities such as "Get-EventLog" or "wevtutil".
The following analytic detects the creation or modification of Windows services using the sc.exe command. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because manipulating Windows services can be a method for attackers to establish persistence, escalate privileges, or execute arbitrary code. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to maintain long-term access, disrupt services, or gain control over critical system functions, posing a severe threat to the environment.
The following analytic identifies the addition and quick deletion of a Service Principal Name (SPN) to a domain account within 5 minutes. This detection leverages EventCode 5136 from the Windows Security Event Log, focusing on changes to the servicePrincipalName attribute. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to perform Kerberoasting, a technique used to crack the cleartext password of a domain account offline. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or escalate privileges within the domain environment.
This analytic detects the addition of a Service Principal Name (SPN) to a domain account. It leverages Windows Event Code 5136 and monitors changes to the servicePrincipalName attribute. This activity is significant because it may indicate an attempt to perform Kerberoasting, a technique where attackers extract and crack service account passwords offline. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to obtain cleartext passwords, leading to unauthorized access and potential lateral movement within the domain environment.
Detects the addition of a member to a sensitive Active Directory group related to VMware administration (e.g., 'vSphere Admins', 'ESX Admins') using net.exe executed via WinRM (wsmprovhost.exe). This behavior is a key TTP used by threat groups like UNC3944 to escalate privileges and gain control over the vSphere environment after an initial compromise.
Detects modifications to Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that enable script processing. Threat actors, such as Storm-2603, abuse GPOs to deploy ransomware (like Warlock) by adding malicious startup or logon scripts. This detection identifies when the "Group Policy Scripts" client-side extension is added to a GPO, which is a key step in this attack chain. This activity is logged under Event ID 5136 on Domain Controllers.
This rule detects when a user is added to an administrative or management role in Azure Active Directory outside of defined business hours. It specifically looks for 'Add member to role completed' or 'Add app role assignment grant to user' operations where the target role contains 'admin' or 'Manage', and the event occurs outside of the configured business hours (7 AM to 6 PM local time, Monday to Friday).
Detects suspicious Windows Shortcut (LNK) files that exhibit characteristics of malicious activity, including execution of system binaries with suspicious arguments, in-argument script execution, or overlay content execution.
Detects highly unusual network connections initiated by notepad.exe. This behavior is suspicious because notepad.exe is a simple text editor not designed for network communication. This technique has been observed in campaigns where threat actors inject shellcode into a suspended notepad.exe process to establish command and control (C2) connections.
Detects the execution of the Microsoft Connection Manager Profile Installer (cmstp.exe) with command-line arguments that are commonly used to bypass User Account Control (UAC) and execute malicious INF files. This technique is leveraged by malware like Katz Stealer.
This rule detects a sequence of successful Azure AD sign-ins from the same user and device. The first sign-in uses a refresh token (RT) for a non-interactive user session, specifically for the Microsoft Teams desktop client (app ID 29d9ed98-a469-4536-ade2-f981bc1d605e) from an Azure AD joined device, where the token protection status is 'unbound'. This is followed by a second successful sign-in using a primary refresh token (PRT) from the same user and device, excluding sign-ins to the 'Device Registration Service'. This sequence could indicate an adversary attempting to transition from an acquired refresh token to a primary refresh token, potentially to gain broader access or persistence within the Azure AD environment.
