This rule detects potential abuse of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) by identifying multiple changes (3 or more) to GPO-related objects within a short timeframe. It specifically looks for Event ID 5136 (Directory Service Changes) where the ObjectClass is either 'groupPolicyContainer' or 'gPCFileSysPath'. This could indicate an adversary modifying GPOs to achieve persistence, privilege escalation, or other malicious objectives.
Detects outbound internet communications generated by rundll32.exe, which is uncommon and frequently associated with malware execution, including ACR Stealer.
This rule detects a high volume of successful sign-in attempts to Exchange Online from a single IP address where the UserPrincipalName ends with '@' (indicating an anonymous or malformed UPN) and Conditional Access was not applied. This pattern can be indicative of anonymous SMTP relay abuse, often used for spamming or phishing campaigns.
Detects the creation or modification of a VSCode package.json file that maps a keybinding to the 'workbench.extensions.installExtension' command while explicitly setting the 'skipPublisherTrust' flag to true. This technique can be used by adversaries to install malicious VSCode extensions without publisher trust checks, potentially leading to supply chain compromise or defense evasion.
This rule detects when a single user principal name (UPN) attempts five or more sign-ins from the same IP address within a one-hour window, and each sign-in is flagged with a 'RiskDetail' other than 'none' but still results in a 'Success' status. This could indicate an attacker attempting to bypass security controls or an account compromise where the attacker is repeatedly trying to access the account from a consistent location, possibly with different credentials or methods, until successful.
Detects suspicious execution of PowerShell or MSHTA with encoded commands or web content from common user-facing applications like Explorer, Word, or Outlook. This pattern is often indicative of initial access or execution techniques used by adversaries.
This rule detects suspicious process creation events where Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) are the initiating process, but the created process is not another Office application. Instead, the created process is a command-line interpreter or scripting host like PowerShell, cmd.exe, cscript, wscript, or mshta. This behavior is often indicative of initial access techniques involving malicious Office documents that execute scripts or commands.
Detects PowerShell queries for motherboard serial numbers or UUIDs, behaviors commonly associated with malware reconnaissance and sandbox evasion. This rule specifically looks for 'powershell.exe' executing commands that query 'Win32_BaseBoard' or 'Win32_ComputerSystemProduct' and contain 'SerialNumber' or 'UUID'.
Detects execution of OneDriveUpdater.exe from C:\ProgramData, which may represent a masqueraded binary attempting to impersonate legitimate Microsoft software. This could indicate an attempt at defense evasion or persistence by an attacker.
Detects calls to NtAllocateVirtualMemory originating from scripting engines or binaries executing from temporary user-controlled locations. This behavior is commonly associated with reflective loading, shellcode execution, and in-memory malware.
Detects executables whose Original File Name metadata differs from the actual filename on disk, which may indicate renamed Living-off-the-Land Binaries (LOLBINs) or attacker tools attempting to evade security controls. The rule specifically looks for a predefined list of known LOLBINs and trusted tools.
Detects scheduled tasks created with embedded PowerShell XOR decoding logic, ReadAllBytes, and Invoke-Expression techniques that may be used to establish persistence and execute obfuscated payloads. The rule specifically looks for 'schtasks.exe' creating a task with '/create', containing 'OneDrive', 'Startup', 'Task' in the command line, and also includes '-bxor', 'ReadAllBytes', 'iex', and '[Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes' which are indicative of obfuscated PowerShell execution via XOR decoding.
Detects multiple registry value set events where the registry value data contains keywords like 'ransom' or 'payment', or the registry key contains 'Run'. This behavior can indicate ransomware activity attempting to establish persistence or communicate its demands.
This rule detects suspicious process creations where common system processes (svchost.exe, explorer.exe, lsass.exe, winlogon.exe) act as parent processes for scripting or command-line interpreters (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, cscript.exe, wscript.exe) and the child process runs with a low or untrusted integrity level. This pattern can indicate process injection or other forms of malicious execution where an attacker attempts to hide their activity by masquerading as legitimate system processes.
This rule detects the creation or modification of executable files (.exe, .dll, .sys) within critical Windows system directories (C:\Windows\System32\ or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\). Such activity can indicate an attempt to establish persistence, elevate privileges, or inject malicious code into legitimate system processes.
This rule detects suspicious command-line obfuscation techniques by monitoring process creation events (EventID 4688) for specific patterns in the command line. It looks for the use of environment variables like %TEMP% or %SystemRoot%, the `${env:` syntax, and nested `cmd /c "cmd /c"` calls. These patterns are often used by adversaries to hide the true nature of executed commands, evade detection, or bypass security controls. The rule triggers if three or more such events are observed from the same computer and account within a one-hour window.
This rule detects multiple successful RDP logons (LogonType 10) within a one-hour window by accounts containing '$' (often machine accounts) or 'admin' (privileged accounts). This behavior can be indicative of an adversary attempting to gain remote access and potentially deploy ransomware or other malicious payloads, especially if multiple source IPs are observed.
This rule detects the staging (creation, modification, or renaming) and subsequent execution of executable files (.exe) within the 'C:\Users\Public\Music\' directory. This folder is an unusual location for executables and is often leveraged by adversaries for staging malicious payloads to evade detection. The rule specifically references 'Grixba' and 'Play Ransomware' in its context, suggesting it targets behaviors associated with these threats.
This rule detects when a single process modifies or creates three or more YAML files ('.yaml' or '.yml' extensions) within folders containing 'config' or 'pipeline' in their path, within a one-hour window. This behavior could indicate an attacker modifying configuration or deployment files, potentially for persistence, defense evasion, or impact.
Detects the creation of files ending with '.sig', '.asc', or '.cer'. These extensions are commonly associated with digital signatures, PGP/GPG keys, and certificates, which could indicate activities like code signing, certificate generation/import, or PGP/GPG key manipulation by an adversary.
This rule detects suspicious network connections where the initiating process command line contains keywords indicative of evasion techniques such as 'obfuscate', 'encode', or 'encrypt'. It specifically looks for these activities over common web ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443) and triggers an alert if 10 or more such attempts are observed from a device within an hour.
