This rule detects network traffic on port 445 (SMB) containing the strings "cacls" and "/G Everyone:F" (case-insensitive). This combination suggests an attempt to weaken folder permissions on a Windows system by granting full control to 'Everyone' using the `cacls` command, potentially via remote registry access or a similar mechanism that transmits the command over the network.

This rule detects SMTP traffic where an email is failing SPF (Sender Policy Framework) authentication. Specifically, it looks for the 'Received-SPF: fail' header in emails sent to port 25 ($HOME_NET). This indicates that the sending server is not authorized to send email on behalf of the domain specified in the email's 'MAIL FROM' address, which is a strong indicator of a phishing attempt or spoofed email.

This rule detects email spoofing attempts where the 'From' address domain does not match the 'Return-Path' address domain. It specifically looks for SMTP traffic on port 25, ensuring the flow is established and to the server. The rule uses PCRE to extract the domain from the 'From' header and then checks if the 'Return-Path' header contains a different domain.

Detects Node.js or Bun processes making network connections to the GitHub API. This rule is designed to identify potential exfiltration attempts, specifically referencing the Miasma campaign which spoofs a 'python-requests/2.31.0' User-Agent to evade network detection while exfiltrating credentials to api.github.com/repos/.

This rule detects various stages of a cryptojacking campaign, as described by Microsoft, involving initial access via autorun.dll sideloading, silent MSI installations, execution of RuntimeHost.exe from suspicious locations, scheduled task creation for persistence, .NET process hollowing, Windows Defender exclusions, and persistence via Startup folder shortcuts and Registry Run keys. The campaign leverages ScreenConnect for remote access and .NET utilities for process hollowing, ultimately leading to GPU mining cryptojacking.

This YARA rule detects Compiled HTML Help (CHM) files based on specific internal strings related to their structure and compilation. The rule identifies CHM files that contain internal data space and compression references, as well as specific compiler signatures such as "Free Pascal's chm package 3.0.4", "CHMCmd 3.0.4", and "HHA Version 4.74.8702". While the rule's name suggests detection of JavaScript execution via PowerShell within CHM files, the current string-based logic primarily focuses on the file's internal characteristics and compiler metadata, which can be indicative of potentially malicious CHM files used in attack campaigns.

Identifies 'forfiles.exe' being executed with a combination of multiple command-line switches ('/c', '/p', '/m' or their hyphenated equivalents). This pattern can indicate automated scripting or malicious Living-off-the-Land activity, where 'forfiles.exe' is used to execute commands on multiple files or in specific directories.

This rule detects the deployment of a new privileged container via the Docker API. It specifically looks for HTTP requests to the '/containers/create' endpoint with 'Privileged' in the client body, indicating an attempt to create a container with elevated privileges. This activity can be indicative of an attacker attempting to gain higher access or persistence within a compromised system by deploying a malicious container.

This rule detects network traffic indicative of a domain account being used for lateral movement via SMB. It specifically looks for NTLMSSP authentication within SMB traffic directed to port 445 on the home network, containing the string 'domain' (case-insensitive). A threshold of 10 occurrences within 60 seconds from the same source IP triggers the alert, suggesting a potential brute-force or rapid access attempt.

This rule detects the delivery of a JavaScript payload that has been hex encoded. It specifically looks for the hex representation of the string "script" (\x73\x63\x72\x69\x70\x74) within HTTP response data flowing to the client. This technique is often used by attackers to obfuscate malicious JavaScript code and evade signature-based detection.

This rule detects attempts to delete files or directories using the 'rm -rf' command within a web request URI. This often indicates an attacker attempting to clean up traces of their activity or cause denial of service by removing critical files on a compromised web server.

This rule detects DNS TXT record responses containing a Base64 encoded payload of at least 60 characters. This pattern is often used by malware for command and control (C2) communication or data exfiltration, leveraging DNS tunneling to evade detection.

This rule detects a possible port knocking sequence, which is a method of externally opening ports on a firewall by generating a sequence of connection attempts to a set of closed ports. The rule specifically looks for 5 TCP SYN packets from the same source IP within a 5-second window to any port on the home network, indicating a potential port knocking attempt.

This rule detects the presence of GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel traffic (IP protocol 47) originating from any source IP address to the local network. It triggers an alert if three such GRE packets are observed from the same source within a 60-second window. This could indicate an attempt to establish a GRE tunnel, potentially for defense evasion or to bypass network security controls.

This rule detects an unusually high volume of file deletion events on a device within a short time frame (100 or more files deleted within a 5-minute window). This activity can be indicative of malicious behaviors such as ransomware encrypting and deleting original files, data wiping attacks, or an adversary attempting to remove forensic evidence by deleting logs or other critical files.

This rule detects an unusually high number of file rename events (20 or more within a 1-hour window) initiated by a single process account. This behavior can be indicative of malicious activities such as data staging prior to exfiltration, ransomware encryption, or attempts to evade detection by renaming malicious files or legitimate system utilities.
