Detects sign-in or Microsoft Graph API activity using user-agent strings characteristic of ROADtools and similar Python-based identity-attack tooling. The rule generalizes beyond ROADtools to catch AzureHound, MicroBurst, MFASweep, GraphRunner, and similar identity attack frameworks by looking for scripting user-agents (python, requests, urllib, curl) which signal non-browser, non-app authentication that is inherently suspicious for Entra ID admin operations.

Detects PowerShell scripts attempting to download and execute the official Deno installation script. This behavior is abused by threat actors, such as the operators behind the DinDoor backdoor, to silently prepare an endpoint for fileless JavaScript malware execution.

This rule detects the loading of modules (DLLs or executables) from user-specific AppData folders that are not commonly observed across the environment. It specifically excludes common legitimate paths within AppData like 'Local\Programs' and 'Local\Temp' to reduce false positives. The rule identifies modules loaded by processes that also originate from an AppData folder, indicating potentially suspicious activity such as malware or custom tools operating from user-writable locations.

This rule detects Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) block events where a file operation was prevented. It specifically filters out audit-only events and excludes operations on .dll and .tmp files to reduce noise. The rule aims to identify malicious activity that ASR has actively blocked, indicating a potential attempt to execute or modify files in a suspicious manner.

Detects the execution of Microsoft Edge WebView2 (msedgewebview2.exe) with flags indicating an embedded browser instance and a custom user data directory pointing to the AppData\Roaming folder. This behavior is commonly leveraged by malware masquerading as simple utilities, such as the Calendaromatic malware (CL-CRI-1089), to interact with the host operating system and hide malicious activities within webview processes.

Detects creation of scheduled tasks followed by execution of pcalua.exe on the same endpoint. This combination was observed by Huntress during RedCurl intrusions and is uncommon in legitimate enterprise activity.

Detects suspicious modifications to Notepad++ configuration files (config.xml or shortcuts.xml) by processes other than Notepad++ itself. This behavior may indicate an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2026-48778 or CVE-2026-48800) by injecting unvalidated interpreter commands, leading to arbitrary code execution or other malicious activities.

This rule detects the loading of known vulnerable drivers (BYOVD) or drivers from suspicious user-writable paths, combined with the termination of security products. This combination of events is highly indicative of an adversary attempting to gain kernel-level privileges and disable defenses.

This rule detects a highly suspicious sequence of events in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) audit logs: a self-service password reset, followed by the registration of new security information, and then the deletion of existing security information, all performed by the same user within a short time window. This pattern is indicative of an attacker taking over an account, resetting the password, establishing their own MFA/security info, and then removing the legitimate user's security info to lock them out. This behavior has been observed in campaigns like Storm-2949.

Detects the execution of specific file names and directory combinations used by the GRAT malware (Cyber Isnaad Front) to masquerade as legitimate tools before deploying ransomware or wiper modules. Specifically looks for 'Checker.exe.exe', 'WindowsUpdater.exe' in 'C:\ProgramData\', and 'SpellChecker.exe' in '\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Spelling\'.

This rule detects the execution of 'vsce-sign.exe' with command-line arguments indicating the verification of cached VS Code extensions. This activity is part of the normal VS Code extension installation and update process, where extensions are verified for integrity and authenticity. While this is a legitimate process, monitoring it can be useful for identifying anomalies or potential supply chain compromises if unexpected extensions are being verified or if the verification process itself is being abused.

This rule detects the download of JavaScript (.js) or HTML Application (.hta) files followed by the execution of scripting interpreters like mshta, cscript, wscript, node, or powershell with encoded commands on the same device within a one-hour window. It assigns a score based on the count of downloaded files and executed scripts, triggering an alert if the combined score exceeds 2. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious script execution, often seen in initial access or execution phases of an attack.
