Description: Detects the Stage 2 C2 tasking loop from the malicious Next.js developer-targeting campaign.Stage 2 spawns a child Node.js process and executes attacker-supplied JavaScript via STDIN ('-') or eval ('-e'), sourced from a parent Node process that previously beaconed to Vercel staging infrastructure. Trojanized assets involved include jquery.min.js and env-setup.js loaded from
known malicious repo structures.

This rule detects attempts to disable or impair Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) or Antivirus (AV) solutions by abusing Quality of Service (QoS) policies. It specifically looks for two methods: 1) Process command-line execution that creates or modifies QoS policies (`New-NetQosPolicy` or `Set-NetQosPolicy`) and targets known EDR/AV process names with throttling actions. 2) Direct manipulation of the Windows Registry under `SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\QoS` where the registry value data contains known EDR/AV process names. This activity is indicative of an attacker attempting to "choke" the telemetry stream from security products, potentially to evade detection.

Detects the uploading of a plugin matching known disguised slugs ('content-delivery-helper' or 'database-optimizer') used by attackers to install backdoors after establishing a rogue admin account in WordPress environments. This rule specifically targets POST requests to the WordPress plugin update endpoint with these malicious plugin names in the query string.

This rule detects instances where common command and scripting interpreters (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, cscript.exe) are launched by unusual parent processes. The rule specifically looks for these interpreters being spawned by processes other than explorer.exe, notepad.exe, mspaint.exe, or svchost.exe, and triggers if this occurs at least twice within an hour on the same computer by the same user.

This rule detects potential User Account Control (UAC) bypass attempts by monitoring the creation of processes for 'fodhelper.exe', 'computerdefaults.exe', or 'slui.exe' when their parent process is not 'explorer.exe' or 'svchost.exe'. These executables are known to be used in UAC bypass techniques to elevate privileges without user interaction.

Detects PowerShell command-line executions that utilize the '-enc' (encoded command) parameter, combined with common Base64 encoded string prefixes. This technique is frequently used by adversaries to obfuscate malicious PowerShell scripts and evade detection.

This rule detects the execution of 'VmwareSampling.exe' with a command line containing 'victimtoolsalla.dll'. This specific combination is indicative of the NIGHTFORGE loader, which often leverages DLL side-loading techniques to execute malicious payloads. The presence of 'victimtoolsalla.dll' suggests an attempt to load a malicious DLL via a legitimate VMware process.

This rule detects potential DLL sideloading activity by monitoring process creation events where specific executables ("Setup_File_75.593.2113.exe" or "SystemSettings.exe") are launched with a command line containing "borlndmm.dll". It then correlates this with file events to confirm the presence of "borlndmm.dll" on the same device. This pattern is indicative of the OnyxC2 malware attempting to load a malicious DLL.

Detects a component combining spooler token access and CreateProcessAsUser, often indicative of the Sprysocks malware. The rule specifically looks for the presence of 'spoolsv.exe' along with API calls 'OpenProcessToken', 'DuplicateTokenEx', and 'CreateProcessAsUser', which are used to elevate privileges or impersonate other users by duplicating a token from the print spooler service and then launching a new process with that token.

Detects the creation of generic executable files (e.g., me.exe, update.exe, monitor.exe, service.exe) within the Hola browser installation path. This rule aims to identify potentially malicious executables delivered by a compromised updater or supply chain attack targeting Hola browser users. The rule also captures the principal process responsible for the file creation for correlation.

Detects the creation of an inbound allow firewall rule by 'netsh' or 'powershell' when launched from a user-writable location (e.g., Temp, AppData, ProgramData, Users\Public). This rule aims to identify potentially malicious activity where an attacker might be establishing persistence or enabling command and control communication by modifying host firewall settings.

This rule detects modifications to the Windows Registry related to the 'hola_monitor_svc' service. Specifically, it looks for registry keys containing 'services\hola_monitor_svc' and registry value data or process command lines that include 'holamonitorservice.exe'. This activity indicates the configuration or presence of the Hola Monitor Service, which could be associated with the Hola VPN application.

This rule detects the creation of a file named 'notepadplusplus.dll' within the Microsoft Windows roaming profile path (specifically, 'appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows'). This activity is suspicious as it indicates an attempt to masquerade a malicious DLL as a legitimate one, potentially for DLL hijacking or persistence, by placing it in a location that might be searched by legitimate applications.
