Detects the use of regsvr32.exe to execute remote scriptlets, often via HTTP/S or FTP, which is a common technique used to bypass application control and execute malicious code without touching the disk or properly registering a COM object (Squiblydoo).

This rule detects the execution of self-extracting archives (SFX) that are commonly used by malware to launch a visible decoy and a hidden executable from a temporary directory. It specifically looks for process launch events where the command line contains keywords associated with SFX archives (e.g., '7-zip', 'sfx', '-y', '-o') and the principal process's file path contains terms like '7z', 'sfx', 'setup', or 'installer'. The rule aims to identify the initial stage of an attack where an SFX archive is used to drop and execute malicious payloads.

Identifies rapid creation of multiple QoS policies, matching EDRChoker's behavior iterating through process lists. This rule detects when three or more QoS policies are created within a one-minute window on a single device, indicated by the execution of 'New-NetQosPolicy' via PowerShell.

Detects NTLM network logons (LogonType 3) where the workstation name does not match the target computer name and is not a machine account. This pattern is commonly associated with lateral movement techniques such as Pass-the-Hash or other credential relay attacks, where an adversary authenticates to a remote system using compromised credentials.

Detects successful sign-ins by accounts that appear to be Azure AD Connect synchronization service accounts (e.g., 'MSOL_', 'Sync_', 'AADConnect') but are not initiating from the expected Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect application. This may indicate an adversary attempting to use these highly privileged service accounts for unauthorized access or lateral movement.

This rule detects the creation or modification of generic executable files (e.g., 'me.exe', 'update.exe') within the Hola installation directory. It specifically looks for executables whose names match common updater or service patterns and whose process command line includes 'hola', 'update', or 'installer'. This activity could indicate a compromised delivery pipeline or supply chain attack, as observed with the Hola browser.

Detects modifications to sensitive Group Policy Object (GPO) attributes, specifically those related to file system paths, machine/user extensions, or version numbers, using Windows Security Event ID 5136. These attributes are often targeted during GPO modification to establish persistence, escalate privileges, or deploy malicious configurations across a domain.

Detects PowerShell referencing AMSI internals, reflection, or amsiInitFailed before executing a downloaded stage. This rule specifically looks for PowerShell processes executing commands that contain keywords related to AMSI bypass techniques, such as 'AmsiUtils', 'amsiInitFailed', 'AmsiScanBuffer', 'amsiContext', 'GetField', combined with 'SetValue', 'Reflection', or 'NonPublic'. This indicates an attempt to modify AMSI's behavior in memory.

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.

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.

Detects potential Reynolds ransomware activity by identifying processes that enumerate a significant number of security software processes (EDR/AV) using `CreateToolhelp32Snapshot` or similar process creation events. This behavior is often a precursor to security software termination or evasion.

Detects modifications to domain trust relationships, such as the creation of a new trust, removal of an existing trust, or changes to trusted domain information. Such events are monitored as they can indicate an adversary attempting to elevate privileges or establish persistence across a forest or multi-domain environment.
