Detects attempts by a user or process to disable or modify Linux kernel-level mandatory access control mechanisms, specifically SELinux and AppArmor. Such actions are commonly performed by adversaries to reduce system security posture and facilitate further malicious activity by bypassing enforced containment policies.

Detects a user who interacted with a code-of-conduct lure subsequently authenticating through an anonymous proxy or anonymisation service. This rule correlates URL click events or sign-in events with subjects related to 'code of conduct' or 'policy acknowledgement' and then checks if the subsequent authentication occurred via an anonymous proxy.

This rule detects the creation of Electron application runtime files (electron.exe, app.asar, index.js, package.json) by installers like UtilifySetup or Inno Setup in unusual or suspicious AppData\Local subdirectories. This behavior is associated with the Ghost ClickFix attack chain, where compromised systems are used to deploy malicious Electron applications. The rule specifically looks for file creations in paths matching `\appdata\local\(super|max|util)[^\\]*` and installer executables named `utilifysetup.exe`, `setup.exe`, or `is-[a-z0-9]+\.exe`.

Detects unauthorized or suspicious use of virtualization management tools (e.g., esxcli, vim-cmd, PowerShell cmdlets for vSphere/Hyper-V) to perform disruptive actions such as powering off VMs, removing snapshots, or modifying firewall configurations. The rule excludes activity originating from standard management processes and trusted VMware/Microsoft signed processes.

This rule detects potentially malicious PowerShell execution by identifying the use of obfuscated encoded commands or common execution policy bypass flags. It monitors for patterns such as '-EncodedCommand' with long strings, '-ExecutionPolicy Bypass', and other flags typically used to hide PowerShell execution or bypass security restrictions, while excluding trusted Microsoft-signed processes and commands executed from standard system paths.

Detects the execution of mshta.exe when invoked with command-line arguments indicative of script execution (e.g., vbscript:, javascript:, http(s)://) or when spawned by common Microsoft Office applications. This behavior is frequently associated with malicious document-based attacks, where office macros trigger mshta to download or execute obfuscated code.

Detects instances where common Windows processes (svchost.exe, explorer.exe, or notepad.exe) spawn suspicious child processes (such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or wscript.exe). The rule identifies potential process hollowing or living-off-the-land techniques by correlating parent-child relationships with suspicious command-line parameters (encoding, hidden execution, or in-memory execution) or anomalous file paths (running from user-writable directories).

Detects LOLBINs and applications that should not legitimately drop executable or executable-equivalent files to disk.
This may indicate malware staging, process injection, or abuse of a trusted binary for payload delivery.

Detects LOLBINs and applications that should not legitimately drop script files to disk.
This may indicate malware staging or abuse of a trusted binary for script-based code execution.

Correlates WScript execution terminating early if analysis environments are detected, before transitioning to PowerShell. This rule identifies a pattern where 'wscript.exe' executes and is quickly followed by 'powershell.exe' within a two-minute window, suggesting a potential anti-analysis technique used by malware like Vidar to evade detection in sandboxed environments.

Detects the post-encryption cleanup routine where Nightspire utilizes wevtutil to clear Security, System, and Application event logs to hinder incident response efforts. This rule specifically looks for the execution of 'wevtutil.exe' with the 'cl' (clear log) command targeting 'System', 'Security', or 'Application' event logs, and correlates it with the presence of files ending with '.nightspire' on the same device.

Detects the modification or termination of critical Windows security services using the Service Control utility (sc.exe). Attackers frequently disable Defender and associated security center services to allow undetected payload execution.

This rule detects the suspicious behavior where the process 'MpExtMs.exe' loads the 'EndpointDlp.dll' library into memory without any corresponding file creation or modification events for that DLL. This pattern is indicative of reflective code loading or fileless execution techniques often associated with Backdoor.Mistic (MLTBackdoor), where malicious code is executed directly from memory to evade disk-based security controls.

Detects instances where common web browsers (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, brave.exe, opera.exe) initiate command-line utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe) that include arguments indicative of downloading remote resources (curl, iwr, Invoke-WebRequest, bitsadmin, certutil). This pattern is frequently used to download and execute second-stage malicious payloads.

Detects modifications to Azure AD domain federation settings or authentication methods that could indicate attempts to establish persistent access or bypass authentication controls (e.g., golden SAML attacks, domain-level backdoors). The rule monitors for successful operations related to domain federation, authentication changes, and domain management, excluding known administrative actions from internal Microsoft domains.

Detects file creation, copy, or rename operations within known VPN application directories (CyberGhost, ExpressVPN, NordVPN) when initiated by Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) related processes (CefSharp.BrowsersSubprocess). This behavior is highly irregular as standard web browser components should not be modifying the local configuration or installation directories of VPN software.

This rule detects successful OAuth logins originating from IP addresses identified as residential proxies. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to bypass geo-blocking or other IP-based restrictions, potentially using stolen credentials (Valid Accounts) or after a successful phishing campaign (Spearphishing Link) to gain initial access or maintain persistence.

Detects the Prinz Eugen ransomware operator leveraging RemotePC's RPCCMDHOST.EXE to spawn PowerShell with hidden window, no profile, and non-interactive flags, consistent with obfuscated stager execution observed in active intrusions.
