The following analytic detects suspicious raw access reads to the drive containing the Master Boot Record (MBR). It leverages Sysmon EventCode 9 to identify processes attempting to read or write to the MBR sector, excluding legitimate system processes. This activity is significant because adversaries often target the MBR to wipe, encrypt, or overwrite it as part of their impact payload. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to system instability, data loss, or a complete system compromise, severely impacting the organization's operations.

The following analytic detects the execution of the sdelete.exe application, a Sysinternals tool often used by adversaries to securely delete files and remove forensic evidence from a targeted host. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution logs. Monitoring this activity is crucial as sdelete.exe is not commonly used in regular operations and its presence may indicate an attempt to cover malicious activities. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to the loss of critical forensic data, hindering incident response and investigation efforts.

Detects the disabling of the 'execInstalledOnly' kernel setting on an ESXi host, a critical security control that prevents the execution of unsigned binaries. This is often followed by a host reboot to apply the change. This TTP is used by threat groups like UNC3944 to prepare the hypervisor for custom ransomware execution.

Detects when a virtual disk (.vmdk) from one virtual machine is attached to a different virtual machine. This is a key TTP used by threat groups like UNC3944 to perform offline credential theft (e.g., copying NTDS.dit from a domain controller) by mounting the disk to a separate, attacker-controlled staging VM.

Detects modifications to Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that enable script processing. Threat actors, such as Storm-2603, abuse GPOs to deploy ransomware (like Warlock) by adding malicious startup or logon scripts. This detection identifies when the "Group Policy Scripts" client-side extension is added to a GPO, which is a key step in this attack chain. This activity is logged under Event ID 5136 on Domain Controllers.

The following analytic identifies instances where a Duo administrator creates or updates a policy to explicitly deny user access within the Duo environment. It detects this behavior by searching Duo administrator activity logs for policy creation or update actions where the authentication status is set to "Deny access." By correlating these events with user and admin details, the analytic highlights potential misuse or malicious changes to access policies. This behavior is critical for a SOC to monitor, as unauthorized or suspicious denial of access policies can indicate insider threats, account compromise, or attempts to disrupt legitimate user access. The impact of such an attack may include denial of service to critical accounts, disruption of business operations, or the masking of further malicious activity by preventing targeted users from accessing resources. Early detection enables rapid investigation and remediation to maintain organizational security and availability.
