Detects >=2 of the four NeedyMantis archive-extraction artifacts (encryptbase64.ps1, dnsapi.dll, ws2_32.dll, msvcrt140.dll) written by the same process within 60 seconds. Anchored to the known sideload staging directories (ProgramData/ProgramFiles subfolders used by the Poedit/curl/Vim/TightVNC/Office/Broadcom/Intel/NVIDIA-masquerading bundles) and excludes System32/SysWOW64, since ws2_32.dll and dnsapi.dll are legitimate system DLL names that would otherwise cause noise if matched by name alone anywhere on disk.

Detects NeedyMantis-style DLL sideloading: a DLL is dropped at an anomalous ProgramData/ProgramFiles path mirroring known first-stage loader naming/path conventions (masquerading as Poedit, curl, Vim, TightVNC, Office, Broadcom, Intel, or NVIDIA components), AND that exact same DLL is subsequently loaded by a process within 10 minutes. Requiring the corroborating load event (rather than file presence alone) filters out benign drops such as installer staging, AV quarantine copies, or backup/sync tools that never execute the file.

Detects the execution of PowerShell or PowerShell ISE where the parent process is the console host (conhost.exe) and the command-line arguments are either missing, empty, or represent an bare execution of the binary. This pattern is commonly associated with fileless execution techniques where attackers attempt to hide command-line arguments or evade logging.

Detects behavior indicative of the MLTBackdoor malware, specifically the creation or modification of a DLL file (such as *dlp.dll) shortly after or before the creation of an RC4-encrypted 'data.bin' file on the same host. The rule also looks for an optional preceding archive extraction event of common file types from Temp or Downloads directories by standard extraction utilities, which may indicate the staging of the initial payload.

Detects mshta.exe initiating outbound network connections, followed closely by the execution of a powershell.exe process with an unusually large command line, or PowerShell script block events containing large, potentially obfuscated scripts. This behavior is indicative of 'DeepLoad' or 'ClickFix' style staging, where legitimate binaries are leveraged to download and execute heavily obfuscated payloads.

Detects a sequence of activity where an endpoint performs multiple anti-analysis or sandbox evasion checks (using commands like wmic, powershell, or reg to query system information or look for debugger/VM artifacts) followed within 10 minutes by an outbound network connection to a domain that has not been observed from that specific device in the last 7 days.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line arguments and obfuscation techniques commonly used by attackers to execute malicious code, including base64 encoded commands, bypass of execution policies, dynamic assembly loading, and caret-based obfuscation.

Detects a behavioral fingerprint associated with the NeedyMantis group, characterized by the creation of a DLL and a identically-named, extensionless, encrypted archive file in the same directory within a short time window. This approach identifies the underlying packaging strategy rather than relying on static file names or known paths.

Detects .ps1-named files dropped to disk that are never actually executed by a PowerShell interpreter (powershell.exe / pwsh.exe) within a short window afterward. NeedyMantis's second-stage loader (e.g. encryptbase64.ps1) is raw x64 shellcode, not a real script -- it's read and executed directly by the dropping process, so no genuine PowerShell host process ever references the file by name. Replaces an earlier version of this rule that watched DeviceImageLoadEvents for a .ps1 extension: Windows can only emit an image-load event for a file with a valid PE header loaded via the OS loader, and raw shellcode has no PE header and is never mapped that way, so that approach would not have fired on this malware. Caveat: legitimate deployment tooling that stages a script for delayed or remote execution can also produce this create/execute mismatch; tune the window and add known-good deployment-tool exclusions for your environment.

Detects a fake ClaudeDesktop.exe installer / tampered libcef.dll sideload chain deploying the SectopRAT .NET RAT, requiring multiple corroborating indicators and a PE anomaly consistent with DLL sideloading rather than a single generic string

Detects instances where a Claude process accesses a 'SKILL.md' file, followed closely by a suspicious command execution on the same device. The rule specifically targets command-line activity that involves encoding, download-and-execute patterns, staging in sensitive directories, or communication with suspicious domains/IPs, which is indicative of a supply-chain or poisoned agent-skill file attack.

Detects SectopRAT (Arechclient2) .NET RAT binaries deployed via tampered libcef.dll / JetBrains helper DLL sideloading that harvest browser credentials, cookies, credit card data, and files. Tightened to require combined sideload+family+target indicators plus .NET CLR import evidence, avoiding standalone generic strings.

Detects suspicious process execution patterns associated with RMMCRAT, where the Windows SmartScreen process (smartscreen.exe) spawns cmd.exe, which subsequently launches PowerShell with specific parameters for piped input/output. This behavior is characteristic of malicious code injection and command-and-control activity.

Detects parent process ID (PPID) spoofing associated with RMMCRAT and other HVNC malware, where an injected process (e.g., smartscreen.exe) spawns child processes while spoofing explorer.exe as the parent. The rule monitors for a mismatch between the reported parent (explorer.exe) and the actual creator (smartscreen.exe) and focuses on burst activity of common shell and browser processes.
