This rule detects when the process 'MpExtMs.exe' loads the 'EndpointDlp.dll' library from a file path outside of the standard, expected directories (such as Windows Defender or System32 folders). This behavior is often indicative of potential DLL side-loading, where an attacker attempts to substitute a legitimate system DLL with a malicious version to execute code in the context of a trusted Microsoft process.

Hunts for newly installed applications in the ClickOnce directory cache signed by self-signed or explicitly untrusted certificates, specifically looking for process creation events where the initiating process is 'dfsvc.exe' and the signature is marked as 'Untrusted'.

This rule detects attempts to tamper with Windows Defender services (WinDefend, SecurityHealthService, wscsvc) by stopping or disabling them. It covers actions performed via 'sc.exe' commands, 'Set-Service' PowerShell cmdlets, and direct modification of registry keys related to these services. The rule specifically filters out legitimate system and TrustedInstaller processes when detecting registry modifications to reduce false positives.

Detects successful NTLMv1 logon events (Event ID 4624) where the logon type is 3 (Network). NTLMv1 is a legacy and insecure authentication protocol. Its use in a modern environment, particularly for network logons, is often associated with pass-the-hash attacks or legacy compatibility issues that attackers may exploit.

Detects svchost.exe (hosting Windows Store Install Service) loading InstallServicePlugin.dll from a UNC path or making outbound SMB connections as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. This indicates successful UNCanny coercion where the SYSTEM-level service performs LoadLibraryW against an attacker-controlled UNC path, enabling NTLM machine account capture or SYSTEM code execution.

108
Detects the execution of the 'unshare' utility with arguments that create new user, network, and mount namespaces (-U, -n, -r) by a non-root user. This technique is often used to bypass namespace restrictions or perform privilege escalation by gaining elevated capabilities within a new, user-controlled namespace.

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell execution patterns involving scripts or payloads stored within specific directory paths (ProgramData\WC3\ or ProgramData\wt1). It flags instances where PowerShell commands include reflective loading techniques ('IEX' or 'Invoke-Expression') while referencing files in these paths, which is often associated with fileless malware execution or malicious loaders.

This rule detects unauthorized modifications to sensitive Group Policy Object (GPO) attributes, such as file system paths, version numbers, or extension settings. It monitors Security Event 5136 for changes targeting GPO containers by non-standard administrative accounts, flagging potential attempts to persist access or escalate privileges via GPO tampering.

This rule detects the modification of the SID History attribute on Active Directory accounts (Event ID 4765) or failed attempts to do so (Event ID 4766). The SID History attribute can be abused to gain unauthorized access and escalate privileges across domain boundaries by injecting well-known or administrative SIDs, a technique known as SID-History Injection.

Detects attempts to bypass User Account Control (UAC) by abusing 'eventviewer.exe'. This rule specifically looks for 'eventviewer.exe' being initiated by suspicious processes like 'powershell.exe', 'cmd.exe', 'rundll32.exe', or 'Optimax.dll', while excluding legitimate command-line usage of 'eventvwr.exe'.

Detects defense evasion commands used by lambsys.elf in the CVE-2026-33017 cryptominer campaign, including disabling AppArmor, SELinux, UFW, flushing iptables, and disabling the NMI watchdog to reduce detection and interference.

Detects the use of PowerShell commands that modify file system metadata (e.g., CreationTime, LastWriteTime, LastAccessTime). This technique, often referred to as 'timestomping', is used by adversaries to manipulate file timestamps to evade detection or hide activity.

Detects execution of mshta.exe with a command-line containing a URL, which is a common technique used by attackers to proxy the execution of remote malicious payloads such as HTA, VBScript, or JScript files. The rule excludes common Microsoft domains to reduce false positives.

Detects the Python Imaging Library (PIL) memory leak used to bypass ASLR prior to the JPEG2000 heap overflow. This KQL query specifically looks for syslog messages containing 'cannot identify image file' and 'BytesIO object at 0x', which are indicators of this specific memory leak vulnerability being triggered.

This rule detects various methods used to extract credentials protected by the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI). It covers multiple vectors, including Mimikatz DPAPI module usage, unauthorized loading of the dpapi.dll library, suspicious access to browser or WiFi credential stores, and cross-process memory access to the LSASS process to extract DPAPI master keys.

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious modifications to Microsoft Sentinel alert rules. It specifically monitors for the deletion of alert rules or the disabling of existing rules via the Azure activity logs. Such actions may indicate an attempt by an adversary to impair security monitoring and defensive capabilities.
