This rule monitors for the creation or modification of specific Windows Registry run keys. These keys are commonly used by malware and adversaries to achieve persistence, ensuring malicious code executes automatically upon system login. The rule specifically alerts on suspicious value names or paths associated with known threats or obfuscated file paths residing in common persistence directories.

Detects network connection attempts or successes from critical Windows processes (System, svchost.exe, lsass.exe) targeting the localhost interface (127.0.0.1 or ::1) on non-standard ports (above 1024, excluding SMB ports 445/139). This behavior is often indicative of local process injection, credential dumping activity, or unauthorized inter-process communication used by malware to bypass network security controls.

Detects the installation of a driver service using sc.exe from suspicious, non-standard directories (e.g., Temp, AppData) or involving common driver extensions (.sys). This behavior is indicative of the Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) technique, often used to load vulnerable drivers to bypass or disable security products, consistent with activities attributed to various threat actors.

007
Detects instances where a guest user or an external account (identified by the #EXT# suffix) performs an operation to add a new member to a Microsoft 365 Group. This behavior can be indicative of a guest account being compromised or misused to escalate privileges or gain unauthorized access by modifying group memberships.

108
Detects a suspicious process execution chain where explorer.exe or userinit.exe spawns cmd.exe, which in turn launches PowerShell to execute a hidden, bypassed, and obfuscated script involving content retrieval from the C:\ProgramData directory. This pattern is characteristic of the UAC-0226 GIFTEDCROOK actor's persistence mechanism using LNK files.

008
This rule detects attempts to disable the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in PowerShell by patching sensitive exported functions (AmsiScanBuffer, AmsiScanString, WinScanContent) within the process memory. Attackers use techniques like VirtualProtect and Marshal.Copy or JIT-compilation via RuntimeHelpers.PrepareMethod to overwrite these functions, effectively forcing AMSI to return an 'AMSI_RESULT_CLEAN' result for all scanned content.

Detects exploitation activity associated with CVE-2025-8088 used by UAC-0226 (GIFTEDCROOK). The rule monitors for WinRAR-family archive tools dropping files into the startup folder, staging payloads into C:\ProgramData, and the subsequent logon execution chain where cmd.exe launches PowerShell to execute encoded commands or content from ProgramData.

208
Detects the creation or configuration of Windows services using sc.exe or PowerShell where the binary path points to suspicious, writable directories (Temp, AppData, or ProgramData). This behavior is often associated with persistence mechanisms where adversaries place malicious binaries in user-writable locations to execute with higher privileges.

006
Detects instances where 'Mixed Reality.exe' or 'wmplayer.exe' load DLLs from suspicious directories such as AppData, Temp, or ProgramData, specifically when the loading process or the loaded DLL appears unsigned or lacks verification by Microsoft. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL sideloading or hijacking, where adversaries leverage trusted applications to execute malicious code.

This rule detects potential exploitation of a privilege escalation vulnerability (identified as CVE-2026-46331) involving the manipulation of Linux Traffic Control (tc) pedit actions or user/network namespace unsharing shortly after a setuid binary execution or root shell spawn. This behavior is indicative of a 'Copy-on-Write' (COW) or similar kernel-level vulnerability exploitation chain where unprivileged users abuse system features to gain elevated privileges.

Detects Microsoft Device Code grant type authentications in Entra ID sign-in logs, consistent with the EvilTokens phishing kit abusing the OAuth device code flow to steal tokens without capturing passwords. Flags DeviceCode protocol sign-ins from browser-based clients, which is atypical for legitimate device code usage.

This rule monitors authentication events across various SaaS platforms (Jira, Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, Auth0, OneLogin) to detect suspicious activity. It calculates a risk score based on indicators such as impossible travel, high volume of distinct source IPs or geographic locations, and anomalous user agent activity, flagging sessions that exceed a defined risk threshold.

006
This rule detects when three or more Windows services are created or modified on a single computer within a one-hour period. It specifically looks for Event IDs 4697 (A service was installed in the system) and 7045 (A service was installed in the system). This could indicate malicious activity such as persistence mechanisms or privilege escalation attempts.

This rule detects multiple (3 or more) logon attempts using the 'RunAs' feature (Event ID 4648) for accounts containing 'Admin' or 'SYSTEM' in their username within a one-hour window. This could indicate an adversary attempting to escalate privileges or execute code as a privileged user.

Detects the creation or modification of WMI event subscriptions via EventID 5861 from the Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity log. This activity, involving EventFilters, EventConsumers, or FilterToConsumerBindings, is a well-known technique used by adversaries to establish persistence and achieve execution triggered by system events, often resulting in elevated SYSTEM privileges.

Detects updates or deletions of Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) Conditional Access policies that occur outside of typical business hours (Monday-Friday 08:00-18:00 UTC). Such modifications can be an indicator of an adversary attempting to circumvent security controls or maintain persistent, unauthorized access.

Detects Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM) role activations that occur outside of standard business hours (before 07:00 or after 19:00 UTC, or on weekends) or involve high-privilege roles (e.g., Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, Security Administrator).

This rule detects modifications to critical Windows registry keys associated with disabling security features (Microsoft Defender, WDigest credential storage) or establishing persistence via Image File Execution Options (IFEO). These modifications are often performed by adversaries to impair defensive monitoring, bypass credential protections, or execute malicious code when specific processes start.

This rule detects when the Microsoft Teams process (Teams.exe) creates an executable or installer file (.exe or .msi) in common user-writable directories such as AppData, Temp, or Users/Public. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity, as legitimate Teams application updates and add-ins typically reside in specific, protected subdirectories within the Teams folder structure.
