Detects the registration of a debugger for a program that is available in the logon screen, commonly known as a sticky key backdoor. This technique involves modifying the Image File Execution Options (IFEO) registry key to launch an arbitrary executable (debugger) when a legitimate accessibility program (like sethc.exe or utilman.exe) is invoked from the logon screen. This can be used for persistence and privilege escalation to gain SYSTEM privileges.

Detects the loading of a kernel driver that has been revoked by Code Integrity. This indicates an attempt to load a driver that is no longer trusted, potentially for malicious purposes or due to a known vulnerability. Event ID 3021 signifies a revoked driver load, while 3022 indicates a revoked driver load allowed due to a kernel mode debugger being attached.

This rule detects attempts to load an image (e.g., a DLL or executable) that has been blocked by Windows Code Integrity because its signing certificate has been revoked. This indicates that a potentially malicious or untrusted module is trying to execute on the system, and the operating system's integrity checks are preventing it.

Detects a threat actor creating a file named `wbemcomn.dll` in the `C:\Windows\System32\wbem\` directory over the network for a WMI DLL Hijack scenario. This is identified by monitoring Windows Security Event ID 5145 for file creations ending with `\wbem\wbemcomn.dll` and filtering out legitimate system accounts (those ending with '$').

This rule detects PowerShell scripts attempting to use specific Windows API functions that are commonly associated with malicious activities such as process injection (VirtualAlloc, OpenProcess, WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread), token manipulation (OpenProcessToken, LookupPrivilegeValue, AdjustTokenPrivileges, DuplicateTokenEx), and memory operations (ReadProcessMemory, VirtualFree). Detection relies on PowerShell Script Block Logging being enabled to capture the script content.

This rule detects suspicious behaviors associated with the SOURGUM actor, as tracked by Microsoft. Specifically, it looks for the creation of processes with specific image paths related to 'Physmem.sys' or 'WimBootConfigurations.ini' within IME directories. Additionally, it identifies attempts to modify registry keys associated with Component Object Model (COM) objects, specifically InprocServer32 entries for CLSIDs {7c857801-7381-11cf-884d-00aa004b2e24} and {cf4cc405-e2c5-4ddd-b3ce-5e7582d8c9fa}, using the 'reg add' command.

This rule detects user activity that Azure AD Identity Protection has flagged as 'investigationsThreatIntelligence'. This risk event type indicates that a sign-in or user behavior is unusual for the user or consistent with known attack patterns, often leveraging threat intelligence feeds to identify suspicious activity. It suggests potential compromise of user accounts or malicious sign-in attempts.

Rule to detect the use of the SCX RunAsProvider Invoke_ExecuteShellCommand to execute any UNIX/Linux command using the /bin/sh shell. SCXcore, started as the Microsoft Operations Manager UNIX/Linux Agent, is now used in a host of products including Microsoft Operations Manager, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft Operations Management Suite. This activity is indicative of the OMIGOD vulnerability exploitation.

Detects the installation of the NetSupport Manager client service on a Windows system. This rule specifically looks for Event ID 7045 from the Service Control Manager, indicating a service installation, and then filters for service paths containing '\NetSupport Manager\client32.exe' or a service name of 'Client32'. This activity can be indicative of legitimate remote administration tool deployment or malicious use for persistence.

Detects the modification of the 'Debugger' value within the Image File Execution Options (IFEO) registry key for various Windows accessibility tools. This technique is commonly used by adversaries to establish persistence and privilege escalation by replacing legitimate accessibility tools (like sethc.exe or utilman.exe) with a malicious executable that launches with SYSTEM privileges from the login screen.
