This rule detects the execution of processes associated with VMware or suspicious files mimicking legitimate VMware components, particularly when spawned from web servers (w3wp.exe) or command-line interpreters (cmd.exe, powershell.exe). It monitors for specific file names and paths that may indicate persistence, lateral movement, or evasion attempts involving VMware-related binaries or configurations.

Detects the execution of specific binaries (vmtools.exe, vmwared.exe, XDRAgent.exe) from the C:\ProgramData\VMware directory. This path is often used by adversaries to masquerade malicious files or execute tools from a directory that might be excluded from security scanning.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe that masquerade as common update tasks (Google, Microsoft) or point to suspicious file paths often associated with malware (e.g., C:\ProgramData\VMware\). The rule monitors for tasks created with high privileges or triggers, which are indicative of persistence mechanisms.

004
This rule detects multiple indicators of suspicious activity on Linux systems, including LD_PRELOAD hijacking, memfd_create fileless execution, suspicious process masquerading, periodic cron task execution, and the creation of configuration files associated with common IDEs and AI tools. These patterns are frequently used to establish persistence, hide malicious activity, or facilitate lateral movement by compromising development environments.

This rule detects the execution of processes masquerading as legitimate VMware-related utilities or XDR agents when they exhibit behaviors associated with command-and-control (C2) activity. Specifically, it flags processes matching these names or non-standard file paths that include command-line arguments indicative of tunneling (e.g., 'reverse', 'admin-auth-flag') or connect to a specific, hardcoded malicious IP address on port 41256.

Detects execution of the TinyRCT backdoor by monitoring for suspicious instances of 'PerfWatson2.exe' running from non-standard locations (outside of the expected Visual Studio program directories) and specific instances of 'chrome_setup.exe' originating from user download directories matching a known malicious SHA256 hash.

This rule detects the use of the Windows command shell (cmd.exe) executing a specific pattern involving the 'choice', '/T', and 'del' commands. This sequence is often used as a technique to delay execution or wait for a process to terminate before deleting it, a common tactic for self-deleting malware, scripts, or malicious tools aiming to evade forensic analysis.

Detects network activity initiated by PerfWatson2.exe communicating with known command-and-control (C2) IP addresses. PerfWatson2.exe is used as a masquerading process to blend in with legitimate Visual Studio telemetry traffic, a technique observed in TinyRCT C2 beaconing.

Detects the creation or opening of a named event (SyncedEventCreate, SyncedEventOpen, CreateEvent, OpenEvent) on Windows systems using the specific, potentially malicious, object name 'ShitSetupOn26126k'. This pattern often indicates inter-process communication associated with specific malware or unauthorized tool execution.

Detects the use of bitsadmin.exe or certutil.exe to download and install legitimate Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools like ConnectWise Control. This activity is often associated with adversaries establishing persistent graphical access after initial compromise, as observed in campaigns like Storm-1175.

Detects the execution of files with names commonly associated with malicious campaigns or masquerading, specifically 'COU_ITR-1_to_4_AY2026-27.exe' and 'Mixed Reality.exe'. This rule alerts on process start events involving these specific image names, capturing command-line details and process lineage for further analysis.

Detects cross-process activity originating from the 'nvdaHelperRemote.dll' library targeting 'svchost.exe'. This pattern is indicative of potential process injection where a malicious actor or suspicious process attempts to inject code or manipulate the memory space of a core Windows system process via this specific helper library.
