896 detections

Detects instances where Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) has blocked outbound network connections initiated by critical Microsoft Defender components (e.g., MsSense.exe, MsMpEng.exe). Such blocks may indicate security software interference, misconfiguration, or attempts to disrupt endpoint security monitoring.

Detects suspicious DLL loads or file drops performed by security product processes (avp.exe, MsMpEng.exe) from directories outside of standard, trusted vendor paths. It specifically flags unsigned or invalidly signed DLLs, which is indicative of DLL sideloading techniques used to abuse security software workflows for potential privilege escalation.

Detects attempts to tamper with Microsoft Windows Defender configuration, specifically by modifying exclusion paths via PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference), direct registry modifications, or forced Group Policy updates. It also monitors for the disabling of Tamper Protection via registry and the creation of scheduled tasks designed to apply Defender exclusions.

This rule detects suspicious file operations (creation, modification, or renaming) initiated by MsMpEng.exe (Microsoft Defender Antivirus) involving specific indicators related to ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) or 'ShieldCrash' components. These indicators often suggest tampering attempts or the presence of tools designed to interfere with Defender's security operations by targeting its configuration, staging, or protected storage locations.

This rule detects potential attempts to tamper with or bypass Windows Defender by monitoring for files or processes named 'ShieldCrash' occurring in close temporal proximity to the creation or modification of files within Windows Defender's shadow or scan directories (BaseNamedObjects\Restricted\WD_SHADOW_ or WD_SCAN). This behavior is often associated with malware attempting to evade security detection.

This rule detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender settings to disable real-time, behavior, and IOAV protection, while simultaneously adding a full-drive exclusion for the root directory (C:\). This behavior is characteristic of an adversary attempting to disable security monitoring to facilitate further malicious activity or avoid detection.

Detects rapid deletion and creation cycles of the WD_SCAN object manager link, a behavioral pattern associated with a Time-of-Check-to-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) exploit chain targeting Windows Defender (referenced as CVE-2026-69414). The rule monitors for at least three cycle events occurring within a 5-second window, specifically involving the 'WD_SCAN' object identifier.

Detects the execution of OrionQuests-Setup.exe, a .NET-based executable identified as a malicious installer used by the Kimsuky (APT-C-55/BabyShark) threat group. The rule flags PE files that match the specific filename and contain both .NET framework indicators and references to LNK files, suggesting the dropper mechanism for initial stage infection.

This rule detects potential BabylonRAT malware samples by identifying a combination of dynamic API resolution techniques (using GetProcAddress and LoadLibrary) and XOR-obfuscated string blocks representing critical DLL and API names. The detection utilizes high file entropy and specific artifact strings to identify binaries attempting to evade static analysis.

This rule detects files that feature a valid RTF file header (literal '{' followed by 'rtf1') at the start of the file, but lack standard RTF control words such as \ansi or \fonttbl. The presence of executable content, PowerShell commands, or script markers within these files indicates a file-type masquerading technique used to bypass security controls by disguising malicious payloads as RTF documents.
