Detects the creation of a new Active Directory forest trust with both FOREST_TRANSITIVE (0x00000008) and CROSS_ORGANIZATION_ENABLE_TGT_DELEGATION (0x00000800) flags set, indicative of the AORTA attack. This rule specifically checks for the TdoAttributes value 0x808, which represents the exact combination of these two flags. Attackers might set additional flags, which would result in a different TdoAttributes value, potentially leading to false negatives. Consider implementing backend-specific bitwise checks if your SIEM supports them for more comprehensive detection.

Detects remote thread creation in command shell applications, such as "Cmd.EXE" and "PowerShell.EXE".
It is a common technique used by malware, such as IcedID, to inject malicious code and execute it within legitimate processes.

Detects modifications to specific registry keys under `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control` that are commonly used for autostart extensibility points (ASEPs). This includes keys related to Terminal Services, Security Providers, Safe Boot, Print Monitors/Providers, Network Provider Order, and LSA Authentication/Notification Packages. Such modifications can be indicative of persistence mechanisms used by adversaries.

Detects potential suspicious behavior using secedit.exe, specifically when it is used to export or modify the security policy. This could indicate an adversary attempting to understand or alter system security configurations for persistence, privilege escalation, or defense evasion.

Detects modifications to various Windows Registry keys under `CurrentVersion` that are commonly used for autostart extensibility points (ASEPs). This includes `Run`, `RunOnce`, `RunOnceEx`, `RunServices`, `RunServicesOnce`, `ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad`, `Policies\System\Shell`, `Policies\Explorer\Run`, `Group Policy\Scripts`, `Explorer\ShellServiceObjects`, `Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers`, `Explorer\ShellExecuteHooks`, `Explorer\SharedTaskScheduler`, `Explorer\Browser Helper Objects`, `Authentication\PLAP Providers`, `Authentication\Credential Providers`, and `Authentication\Credential Provider Filters`. Adversaries often modify these keys to establish persistence on a system by ensuring their malicious code executes automatically during system boot or user logon.

Detects modifications to the 'User Shell Folders' registry key, specifically the 'Startup' value. This technique is often used by adversaries to establish persistence by ensuring a malicious payload is launched automatically when a user logs in.

This detection identifies when an Azure Service Principal elevates privileges by adding itself to a new app role assignment. This activity is indicative of privilege escalation within an Azure Active Directory environment, where a service principal grants itself additional permissions.

Detects the loading of the "taskschd.dll" module from a process that located in a potentially suspicious or uncommon directory.
The loading of this DLL might indicate that the application have the capability to create a scheduled task via the "Schedule.Service" COM object.
Investigation of the loading application and its behavior is required to determining if its malicious.

Detects direct modification of autostart extensibility points (ASEP) in the Windows Registry using the 'reg.exe' utility. This rule specifically looks for 'reg.exe' being executed with the 'add' command and targeting common autorun registry paths such as 'Run', 'Userinit', 'Shell', 'Windows', 'User Shell Folders', and 'AlternateShell'. Adversaries often modify these registry keys to establish persistence on a system, ensuring their malicious code executes upon system startup or user login.

This rule detects the creation or modification of Windows Registry Run keys that point to executable files located in suspicious folders. Adversaries often use Run keys for persistence, ensuring their malicious code executes automatically when a user logs in. The rule specifically looks for entries in common Run key paths (e.g., CurrentVersion\Run, Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, Policies\Explorer\Run) where the associated executable's path is within directories commonly used by malware or temporary files (e.g., PerfLogs, ProgramData, Windows\Temp, AppData\Local\Temp, Recycle.Bin, Users\Default, Users\Public, or user profile subdirectories like Favorites, Music, Documents). A specific exclusion is included for legitimate Windows update processes that might write to temporary folders via RunOnce keys.

Detects unusual processes accessing desktop.ini remotely over network share, which can be leveraged to alter how Explorer displays a folder's content (i.e. renaming files) without changing them on disk.

Detects modifications to specific registry keys under 'System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager' that are used for autostart extensibility points (ASEPs). These keys include 'SetupExecute', 'S0InitialCommand', 'KnownDLLs', 'Execute', 'BootExecute', and 'AppCertDLLs'. Adversaries often modify these keys to establish persistence or elevate privileges by ensuring their malicious code runs automatically during system boot or user login.

This rule detects attempts to establish persistence by modifying Windows Registry Run keys to execute PowerShell commands or scripts. It specifically looks for modifications to common Run key paths (CurrentVersion\Run, Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, Policies\Explorer\Run) that contain keywords indicative of PowerShell execution, such as 'powershell', 'pwsh', 'frombase64string', download functions, hidden window styles, no profile, encoded commands, execution policy bypass, and various Invoke- commands (Invoke-Expression, Invoke-Command, Invoke-WebRequest).

The following analytic detects the creation of a new Group Policy Object (GPO) using Splunk's Admon data. It identifies events where a new GPO is created, excluding default "New Group Policy Object" entries. Monitoring GPO creation is crucial as adversaries can exploit GPOs to escalate privileges or deploy malware across an Active Directory network. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to control system configurations, deploy ransomware, or propagate malware, significantly compromising the network's security.

This analytic detects new UDP communication between a source and destination workload pair within a Kubernetes cluster. It uses Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) metrics from an OTEL collector via Splunk Observability Cloud. The detection compares network activity over the last hour with the past 30 days to identify new inter-workload communication. Such changes in network behavior can indicate potential security threats or anomalies, including unauthorized connections that may lead to data breaches, privilege escalation, lateral movement, or disruption of critical services.

This analytic identifies newly observed TCP communication between source and destination workloads within a Kubernetes cluster. It leverages Network Performance Monitoring metrics to compare recent network activity with historical data (past 30 days) to detect new inter-workload communications. Such new connections can indicate changes in application behavior or potential security threats, including unauthorized access, lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, or disruption of critical services.
