This rule detects instances where Microsoft Management Console (mmc.exe) spawns a hidden PowerShell process that attempts to execute commands using 'IEX' (Invoke-Expression) combined with 'DownloadString' or 'Net.WebClient'. This pattern is commonly associated with malicious activity, such as downloading and executing payloads from a remote source, often to evade detection.
This rule detects suspicious process injection activity characterized by a sequence of API calls (VirtualAlloc, CreateRemoteThread, WriteProcessMemory) in conjunction with the loading of 'mpr.dll'. This combination of events can indicate an attempt to inject malicious code into a process, potentially for evasion or privilege escalation. The rule filters out common legitimate processes to reduce false positives.
Detects the creation of executable files in the AppData\Roaming folder, excluding common legitimate applications, when the file's version information (internal file name, product name, or file description) matches known indicators for the TuglaInsaatci malware. This rule specifically looks for files named 'oacY.exe' or containing 'TuglaInsaatci' in their version info, indicating potential self-copying or masquerading behavior of the malware.
Detects the in-memory loading of 'Optimax.dll' and 'System Optimizer Ultimate.dll', which are identified as first and second-stage loaders respectively, associated with a steganographic Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) delivery chain. This chain is known to drop Remcos RAT and other malware families. The rule also identifies related dropper processes based on internal file names 'TuglaInsaatci' and 'oacY.exe', and suspicious API calls indicative of process injection techniques like CreateRemoteThread and ProcessHollowing.
This rule detects suspicious attempts by non-browser processes to access Google Chrome's process memory or create threads within it. This behavior is often indicative of process injection techniques used by malware to hook into or extract data from the browser, potentially for credential theft or session hijacking. The rule specifically looks for API calls like OpenProcess, NtCreateProcessEx, CreateRemoteThread, NtReadVirtualMemory, and ReadProcessMemory targeting 'chrome.exe' by processes other than Chrome itself or its legitimate update/driver executables.
This rule detects Vidar Stealer activity through two primary methods: a hash-based detection for a known Vidar 2.1 sample and a behavioral detection for non-standard parent processes spawning Chrome with specific command-line arguments. The behavioral detection targets Vidar's technique of using hash-resolved API calls (CreateNamedPipeA and WaitForSingleObject) to orchestrate APC injection into a suspended Chrome process for credential theft.
Detects potential process injection into Google Chrome processes using Asynchronous Procedure Calls (APC) or remote thread creation. This rule specifically looks for Chrome processes launched with specific command-line arguments (indicating a potentially controlled or sandboxed environment) that then have remote API calls like QueueUserApcRemoteApiCall, CreateRemoteThreadApiCall, or NtQueueApcThreadApiCall targeting them, originating from a different process. The AdditionalFields check for 'CryptUnprotectMemory', 'NtTestAlert', or 'NtQueueApcThreadEx2' further refines the detection of suspicious APC-related activities.
Detects UNG002's tactic of hiding malicious VBScripts 4+ levels deep in folders mimicking macOS metadata (__MACOSX) to evade automated scanners.
This rule detects when an application role assignment or delegated permission grant is successfully added to a service principal in Azure Active Directory, specifically looking for highly privileged permissions such as 'RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory', 'UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All', 'UserAuthMethod-TAP.ReadWrite.All', or 'User.Read.All'. This could indicate an adversary attempting to gain elevated access or persistence within the Azure AD environment.
Detects PowerShell executing 'Add-AppxPackage -Register' with a UNC path, which is a core primitive of the UNCanny InstallService coercion attack. This indicates an attempt to register a loose-file AppX package from a network share.
Detects common productivity applications (e.g., Word, Excel, Acrobat Reader) spawning typical command-line interpreters or scripting hosts. This behavior is a frequent indicator of malicious macro execution or exploit-based payload delivery often seen in phishing campaigns.
Detects attempts to access or exfiltrate the Windows Security Account Manager (SAM) or SYSTEM registry hives, which are primary targets for extracting credential hashes. This rule identifies common attack vectors including native Windows registry utilities (reg.exe), PowerShell-based volume shadow copy techniques (Invoke-NinjaCopy), and known credential dumping tools like secretsdump (from the Impacket suite) executed via command line or interpreted through Python.
Detects execution of rundll32.exe from suspicious directories, such as user profiles, temporary folders, or ProgramData, or the usage of script protocol handlers like javascript: or vbscript:. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to proxy execution of malicious code, bypass security controls, and execute scripts via a signed system binary.
Detects the use of BITSAdmin or PowerShell 'Start-BitsTransfer' to initiate background data transfer jobs pointing to non-Microsoft or non-Windows Update domains. This technique is commonly used by adversaries for C2 communication or to download malicious payloads.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with encoded commands that include signs of web-based downloads or unusually long payloads, which are often used to hide malicious scripts or execute stagers. The rule filters out trusted signers and common administrative management tools to reduce noise.
Detects suspicious registry writes to HKLM StaticPluginMap or HKCU CLSID entries that could be used to redirect InstallService plugin loading. Adversaries may modify these registry keys to achieve persistence or defense evasion by hijacking the loading of legitimate plugins.
Detects the installation of the Kazuar backdoor, indicated by the creation of a scheduled task or service, following initial access via stolen credentials. This detection correlates suspicious persistence mechanisms with a remote session login on a host previously identified with StealC activity, suggesting a multi-stage attack where initial compromise (StealC) leads to credential theft, followed by remote access and persistence (Kazuar).
Detects evidence of anti-debugging techniques commonly associated with VILE Ransomware. The rule monitors process information including command lines, descriptions, and file paths for strings such as 'RtlGetCurrentPeb', 'taggedPointerPack', 'gcstoptheworld', and specific ransomware-related markers, indicating that a process is attempting to detect or evade analysis environments.
This rule monitors for specific registry modifications to the Windows LegalNoticeText key, which is a known behavior of Pay2Key ransomware to display ransom notes to the user upon logon.
Detects VirtualProtect API calls that change the memory protection of ntdll.dll to PAGE_READWRITE. This behavior is commonly associated with EDR unhooking techniques where malware removes hooks placed by security products to monitor system API calls.
Detects specific registry queries related to 'en-US' custom locale checks, often used by Grixba (Play Ransomware) to identify and evade sandbox environments. The rule also filters for process names matching known Grixba execution patterns or suspicious locations such as Public Music directories.
