This rule detects the presence of components associated with the MYRA rootkit, including specific filenames ('libcache.so', 'memfd_loader') and references to the 'apintergrationpost' npm package or the author 'kimijohn01'. It monitors process command lines, file events, and syslog messages for these indicators.

Detects anomalous frequency of UAC elevation prompts (consent.exe) initiated by PowerShell. This behavior is indicative of privilege escalation attempts, specifically matching the pattern of repeated Start-Process -Verb RunAs usage to solicit user interaction for UAC elevation.

This rule detects instances where a process named 'systemd-userdbd' is executed from a file path other than the standard locations ('/lib/systemd/systemd-userdbd' or '/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-userdbd'). Such behavior is often indicative of masquerading, where malicious actors rename their executables to match legitimate system services to evade detection. The rule additionally flags when the parent process is a common interpreter or package manager, which increases the likelihood of malicious activity.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity on Linux systems by monitoring for two suspicious patterns: 1) The 'systemd-userdbd' process being spawned by Node.js or npm, which may indicate a supply-chain attack where a package masquerades as a system daemon, and 2) The execution of processes from anonymous file descriptors within '/proc/self/fd/', a common indicator of fileless execution techniques (e.g., fexecve).

This rule detects the execution of obfuscated PowerShell commands (encoded) that subsequently establish an external network connection and perform process injection within a short timeframe (120 seconds). This behavior is characteristic of malicious staged execution, where a PowerShell script acts as a dropper or loader to fetch secondary payloads and inject them into other processes for evasion.

Detects unauthorized modification of file flags on core system binaries (e.g., /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin) followed by write/modification operations. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to bypass immutable flags to modify or replace critical system files, often seen in rootkits or malware to achieve persistence or tamper with system integrity.

Detects when fodhelper.exe, a legitimate Windows utility, is used to spawn processes other than cmd.exe or conhost.exe. This behavior is commonly associated with UAC bypass techniques where fodhelper.exe is abused to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges without a UAC prompt.

This rule detects the creation or interaction with mutexes that contain both 'asus_' and '_v' in their names. This pattern has been observed in malware associated with ASUS systems, potentially indicating the presence of malicious software attempting to establish a unique identifier on the compromised system.

Detects the loading of 'hostfxr.dll' from suspicious user-specific AppData folders by 'CrossDeviceService.exe' or 'Teams.exe'. This behavior can indicate an attempt to load a malicious .NET runtime, potentially for DLL hijacking or code injection, often associated with persistence or execution techniques.

Detects execution of CRYPTBASE.dll from non‑system directories, a technique used in the STX RAT campaign to hijack legitimate installers (e.g., CPUID HWMonitor, X‑VPN).

Detects PowerShell queries for motherboard serial numbers or UUIDs, behaviors commonly associated with malware reconnaissance and sandbox evasion. This rule specifically looks for 'powershell.exe' executing commands that query 'Win32_BaseBoard' or 'Win32_ComputerSystemProduct' and contain 'SerialNumber' or 'UUID'.

Detects excessive caret (^) escaping in command lines, a common obfuscation technique used by attackers to evade detection and conceal malicious commands. The rule specifically looks for command-line executions by cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or pwsh.exe that contain more than 5 caret characters and a pattern of at least three alphanumeric characters immediately followed by a caret.

Detects scheduled tasks created with embedded PowerShell XOR decoding logic, ReadAllBytes, and Invoke-Expression techniques that may be used to establish persistence and execute obfuscated payloads. The rule specifically looks for 'schtasks.exe' creating a task with '/create', containing 'OneDrive', 'Startup', 'Task' in the command line, and also includes '-bxor', 'ReadAllBytes', 'iex', and '[Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes' which are indicative of obfuscated PowerShell execution via XOR decoding.
