Detects DNS queries for specific command and control (C2) domains known to be used by DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) threat actors. The rule specifically looks for 'connection.lockscreen.kro.kr' and 'updating.dothome.co.kr' in DNS query names.

Detects the execution of a system command, specifically 'cmd.exe', initiated by the ScreenConnect remote management service. This rule looks for 'cmd.exe' being spawned as a child process of 'ScreenConnect.ClientService.exe' and further refines the detection by looking for command lines that include the pattern '\TEMP\ScreenConnect\', which is indicative of temporary script execution by ScreenConnect.

Detects potentially suspicious file downloads directly from IP addresses and stored in suspicious locations using Wget.exe. This rule looks for executions of 'wget.exe' where the command line includes an IP address, 'http', and specific suspicious paths often used for temporary files or public user directories. This could indicate an adversary downloading malicious tools or files directly to a system.

An adversary may use legitimate desktop support and remote access software, such as Team Viewer, Go2Assist, LogMein, AmmyyAdmin, etc, to establish an interactive command and control channel to target systems within networks.
These services are commonly used as legitimate technical support software, and may be allowed by application control within a target environment.
Remote access tools like VNC, Ammyy, and Teamviewer are used frequently when compared with other legitimate software commonly used by adversaries. (Citation: Symantec Living off the Land)

Detects the execution of rundll32.exe that leads to an external network connection, specifically looking for known processes used by the Pikabot malware family for command and control (C2) communication. This rule identifies suspicious network activity originating from rundll32.exe when its parent process is one of the specified Windows binaries, which Pikabot has been observed to hijack for C2.

Detects the execution of Fast Reverse Proxy (FRP) client or server binaries, or command-line arguments indicative of FRP configuration files. FRP is a legitimate tool that can be used by adversaries to establish command and control (C2) channels by exposing local services behind NAT or firewalls to the internet, effectively creating a proxy.

This rule detects the execution of the IOX tunneling tool, which is used for port forwarding and intranet proxy purposes. It specifically looks for the executable name 'iox.exe' and common command-line arguments associated with its forwarding and proxy functionalities, such as '.exe fwd -l', '.exe fwd -r', '.exe proxy -l', and '.exe proxy -r'. Additionally, it includes specific MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 hashes for version 0.4 of the tool to enhance detection accuracy.

Detects the execution of 'npc.exe', the client component of NPS (a port forwarding and intranet penetration proxy server). Detection is based on the executable name, specific command-line arguments indicative of server connection and authentication, or known hashes of the 'npc.exe' client.

Detects the execution of 'client32.exe', a component of the NetSupport Remote Control tool, when it is launched from an unusual directory outside of the standard 'C:\Program Files' or 'C:\Program Files (x86)' paths. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to evade detection by placing legitimate remote access tools in non-standard locations.

Detects the execution of the "cloudflared" tool with command-line arguments indicative of establishing or running a tunnel. This activity has been observed in post-compromise scenarios by threat actors, such as the Akira ransomware group, to maintain persistence and remote access to compromised networks by creating covert communication channels.

Detects the execution of the Cloudflared Quick Tunnel utility, which can be used by adversaries to establish tunnels for various services like HTTP, RDP, SSH, and SMB. This tool has been observed in use by threat groups, including Akira ransomware, to create ad-hoc tunnels that generate random subdomains on trycloudflare.com.

This rule detects the execution of the 'cloudflared' binary when it has been renamed. It looks for specific command-line arguments associated with Cloudflare Tunnel operations ('tunnel cleanup', 'tunnel run', '-url tunnel') in conjunction with a list of known SHA256 hashes for legitimate cloudflared executables. The rule triggers if these conditions are met and the executable's name is NOT one of the known legitimate 'cloudflared.exe' names, indicating a potential attempt to disguise its execution.

This rule detects the execution of the 'cloudflared.exe' binary from any location other than the standard installation paths ('Program Files (x86)\cloudflared\' or 'Program Files\cloudflared\'). Adversaries often use portable versions of legitimate tools like Cloudflared for command and control (C2) or data exfiltration, executing them from non-standard directories to evade detection. This behavior is frequently observed in ransomware campaigns, such as those by Akira, where Cloudflared is leveraged to establish tunnels for malicious traffic.
