This rule detects the use of 7-Zip to compress and password-protect data, which is a common technique used by adversaries for exfiltration. It specifically looks for the execution of 7-Zip executables (7z.exe, 7zr.exe, 7za.exe) combined with command-line arguments indicating both compression/archiving ('a' or 'u') and password protection ('-p').

This rule detects attempts to coerce NTLM authentication on the Printer Spooler service, which can be used for privilege escalation. Specifically, it looks for `rundll32.exe` executing with command-line arguments related to `davclnt.dll,DavSetCookie` and keywords like `spoolss`, `srvsvc`, or `/print/pipe/`, indicating an NTLM relay attack against the print spooler service.

This rule detects the execution of the Windows built-in SoundRecorder.exe application when it is used with the '/FILE' command-line argument. This specific command-line argument indicates that SoundRecorder is being used to capture audio and save it to a file, which is a common technique used by attackers for audio surveillance.

This rule detects the execution of command-line tools like 'dir' or 'findstr' in conjunction with specific file extensions (e.g., .doc, .pdf, .txt) that are commonly associated with sensitive data or credentials. This behavior indicates an attempt at automated collection of data, potentially for exfiltration or further analysis by an adversary. The rule specifically looks for 'dir' commands with '/b' (bare format) and '/s' (subdirectories) flags, or 'findstr' with '/e' (end of line) and '/si' (case-insensitive search for string in files) flags, targeting common document and text file types.

Detects PowerShell scripts that use the "Compress-Archive" Cmdlet to compress folders and files, storing the output in potentially suspicious locations often used by malware for exfiltration. This activity indicates an adversary might be compressing collected data (e.g., sensitive documents) prior to exfiltration to make it portable and minimize network data transfer.

Detects obfuscated PowerShell commands that utilize 'clip.exe' to interact with the clipboard, often as part of an obfuscation technique like those used by Invoke-Obfuscation. The rule specifically looks for patterns where 'echo' is piped to 'clip' and then followed by terms related to 'Clipboard' or 'invoke' with potential character obfuscation.

Detects obfuscated PowerShell scripts that utilize 'clip.exe' to interact with the clipboard, potentially for defense evasion or data manipulation. The rule specifically looks for the pattern 'echo.*clip.*&&.*(Clipboard|i`?n`?v`?o`?k`?)' within PowerShell script block text, indicating an attempt to pipe output to clip.exe and then interact with the clipboard or invoke further commands.

This rule detects the use of 'rar.exe' to add files to an archive. Adversaries often compress collected data, such as sensitive documents, before exfiltration to make it more portable and reduce the amount of data transferred over the network. The detection specifically looks for the execution of 'rar.exe' with the 'a' command-line argument, which is used for adding files to an archive.

This rule detects the use of WinZip (winzip.exe or winzip64.exe) to compress and password-protect data. This activity is often associated with adversaries preparing data for exfiltration, as it allows them to package and secure collected information. The rule specifically looks for command-line arguments indicating the use of WinZip along with a password option and common archiving flags.

This rule detects the execution of 'diantz.exe' with command-line arguments that indicate both a remote file path (identified by '\\') and the creation of a CAB file (identified by '.cab'). This combination suggests that the 'diantz.exe' utility is being used to download a remote file and compress it into a CAB archive on the local machine. This behavior is often associated with adversaries transferring tools or data into a compromised environment.
