Detects high severity (>= 9.0) AWS GuardDuty findings indicating that an EC2 instance or ECS cluster has been compromised, typically suggesting active exploitation or control by a malicious actor.
Detects activity associated with the RoguePlanet exploit, which involves creating EICAR content and NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) within specific staging directories (wdtest_temp or RP_<UUID>). This behavior is intended to trigger Windows Defender scans and induce a TOCTOU race condition (CVE-2026-50656) by manipulating file operations near the wermgr.exe process.
Detects attempts to stop or delete security-related services (such as Microsoft Defender, Cylance, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Malwarebytes, or Bitdefender) using native Windows utilities like taskkill.exe or sc.exe.
Detects instances where a significant number of files (50 or more) are deleted on a device within a 5-minute window. This can indicate malicious activity such as ransomware, data destruction, or an attacker attempting to cover their tracks.
Detects the execution of vssadmin.exe or wmic.exe with command-line arguments intended to delete or resize Volume Shadow Copies. This is a common technique used by ransomware to prevent system recovery and inhibit administrative rollback of file changes.
Detects the deletion of directory service objects such as users, groups, organizational units, computers, or trusted domains. This is identified via Windows Security Event ID 5141, which tracks when a directory object is deleted.
Detects SSH client processes linked to libssh2 (such as ssh, curl, sftp, scp) exhibiting sustained high CPU usage (>=95%) for more than 60 seconds while maintaining an active outbound SSH connection. This behavior is consistent with the denial-of-service vulnerability CVE-2026-55199, where an attacker-controlled SSH server provides an excessively large extension count during the key exchange process, triggering an infinite loop within the libssh2 library.
This rule detects multi-stage behavior associated with the BQTLock ransomware, including C2 network communication, execution of loaders (PyInstaller-based) from common writable directories, suspicious child process spawning, unauthorized OpenSSH service usage potentially indicating privilege escalation, and mass file encryption indicated by both specific file extensions and bulk rename heuristics.
Detects a sequence of events on a single host within a 10-minute window involving both the deletion of Volume Shadow Copies (using vssadmin.exe or wmic.exe) and the execution of ESXi management commands (using esxcli or vmware binaries). This behavioral pattern is often indicative of ransomware attempting to inhibit system recovery and interfere with virtualized infrastructure components concurrently.
Detects the BQTLock ransomware distribution chain, where a PyInstaller-packaged loader executable (start.exe) is used to unpack and spawn the primary BQT.exe ransomware payload. The detection monitors for process creation events where start.exe exhibits typical PyInstaller command-line artifacts (e.g., _MEIPASS) and initiates BQT.exe, which is associated with malicious activities including UAC bypass and file encryption.
Detects high-frequency S3 PutObject requests that utilize Customer-Provided Encryption Keys (SSE-C). A high count of such operations within a short window can be indicative of ransomware activity, where an adversary encrypts data within the victim's cloud storage using their own keys to prevent access by the owner.
Detects attempts to stop or delete security-related services (such as Microsoft Defender, Cylance, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Malwarebytes, or Bitdefender) using native Windows utilities like taskkill.exe or sc.exe.
Detects attempts to stop or disable critical security, backup, and logging services on Windows systems using command-line utilities (net.exe, sc.exe) or PowerShell. Adversaries frequently perform these actions to impair defensive monitoring, bypass security controls, or prepare the system for destructive activities like ransomware deployment.
Detects remote attempts to stop sensitive security, database, and system services using the SMB SVCCTL (Service Control Manager) interface. This is often associated with adversary attempts to disable defensive tools or prepare for destructive operations.
This rule detects potential ransomware activity by identifying processes that perform a high volume of file write, create, or rename operations across a large number of unique file paths within a short timeframe. It also includes a heuristic check for filenames containing 'inc' or 'lynx', often associated with specific ransomware variants.
Detects a highly relevant Antivirus alert that reports ransomware.
This event must not be ignored just because the AV has blocked the malware but investigate, how it came there in the first place.

Detects Akira ransomware-associated PowerShell script execution that attempts to terminate backup, virtualization, and database services (such as VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V, and MSSQL) and inhibit system recovery by deleting Volume Shadow Copies or disabling boot recovery features.
Detects email bombing attacks via automated subscription signups
Detects the execution of common Windows utilities (diskpart, format, cipher, sdelete, eraser) when used with flags indicative of data destruction or disk wiping behavior. This rule monitors for process creations involving commands designed to irrecoverably erase data or wipe drive contents.
Detects the deletion of volume shadow copies using standard Windows utilities such as vssadmin.exe, wmic.exe, or PowerShell. This behavior is a common indicator of ransomware activity aimed at preventing system recovery.
Detects rapid succession of power-off, suspend, or destroy operations on virtual machines via esxcli or vim-cmd following an SSH login, a behavior pattern often associated with ESXi ransomware activity (e.g., Qilin).
