Detects the Kothamine UAC-bypass technique, which uses fodhelper.exe to spawn an elevated PowerShell process. The rule monitors for fodhelper.exe being launched without arguments (a common indicator of this bypass) followed immediately by an elevated PowerShell process containing indicators like 'elevated.ps1' or 'TailscalePortable' paths.

Detects anomalous credential access behavior by identifying instances where a compromised explorer.exe process (injected with the Kothamine payload DLL MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll) accesses browser cookie stores and gaming credential files in quick succession.
Detects anomalous file manipulation behavior consistent with the Kothamine agent, characterized by rapid create, write, and delete cycles on a single file. The detection specifically targets processes identified as either explorer.exe with a reflected Kothamine DLL module or the standalone MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.exe loader running from an AppData staging path.

Detects unauthorized access to Windows camera or microphone consent store registry keys by either a suspected Kothamine agent masquerading as 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.exe' or an injected 'explorer.exe'. The rule correlates these registry access events with the presence of specific Kothamine-related file artifacts (MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.dll and tailcat.exe) on the same host within a 24-hour window to minimize noise.

Detects the initialization and persistence of a 'tailcat.exe' process operating from a non-standard, user-profile directory, typically mimicking legitimate tools. The rule monitors for the specific 'forward' command-line argument containing port mapping strings, an immediate loopback connection to that port, and subsequent periodic external network keep-alive traffic originating from the same process or parent lineage, indicating a C2 tunnel setup.
Detects an exploitation chain originating from a Chrome browser process, characterized by the execution of an anomalous child process followed by the creation of an executable file named 'chrome_cleanup.exe' within a short time window. This sequence is indicative of multi-stage exploitation, involving remote code execution via browser vulnerability and subsequent privilege escalation.
Hunts telemetry for published NeedyMantis indicators: three known SHA-256 hashes (WinSparkle.dll first-stage loader and its encrypted archive, plus the older libcurl archive), the C2 domain corp.tripswithengine[.]com, and the C2 URL path /library/zip/ on that domain. Domain/URL matching parses the actual host out of RemoteUrl and requires an EXACT match (not substring 'has/contains'), so a different domain that merely contains 'corp.tripswithengine.com' as a suffix of a longer label (e.g. 'notcorp.tripswithengine.com') or as a prefix of an unrelated domain (e.g. 'corp.tripswithengine.com.evil.net') cannot match. No malicious IP address has been published for this campaign, so IP-based matching is intentionally not included.
Detects HTTP response bodies containing indicators of 'ClickFix' social engineering lures. The rule monitors for JavaScript code designed to manipulate the user's clipboard (execCommand('copy') or clipboard.writeText) in conjunction with instructions for the user to execute the Windows Run dialog (Win+R), a common technique to trick users into executing malicious commands under the guise of solving a fake CAPTCHA or error.
Detects anomalous outbound lateral movement attempts where a single source host initiates WinRM connections (ports 5985/5986) to an unusually high number of distinct destination hosts within a short timeframe, which is often indicative of automated credential propagation or internal scanning by an adversary.
Detects unauthorized processes attempting to access the cloud instance metadata service (169.254.169.254). Adversaries frequently target this endpoint to extract sensitive instance information, such as IAM credentials or configuration data, typically as part of post-exploitation discovery or SSRF-based attacks.
Detects web requests targeting sensitive Jenkins/CI-CD administrative and build-triggering endpoints, such as /script, /manage, and /job/*/build. These paths are high-value targets for reconnaissance and automated exploitation efforts. This rule identifies potentially malicious activity by monitoring for access to these specific paths, which should be correlated with frequency and source data to differentiate automated scanning from authorized administrative or system activities.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the command line contains suspicious patterns such as execution of common scripting engines (PowerShell, wscript, cscript), use of common staging directories (temp, appdata, programdata), or naming conventions that mimic legitimate Windows system tasks.
Detects potential lateral movement by identifying NTLM authentication (Logon Type 3) to administrative network shares (ADMIN$, C$, IPC$) or high-frequency access to multiple hosts by the same user, which may indicate credential abuse or lateral movement attempts.
Detects the execution of known Windows 'Living-off-the-Land' binaries (rundll32.exe, regsvr32.exe, mshta.exe) when they originate from web browsers or office productivity applications, or when they are executed with command-line arguments indicative of network resource loading, remote scripting, or code execution bypasses.
This rule detects instances of Kerberos Ticket-Granting Ticket (TGT) requests (Event IDs 4768 and 4769) that utilize the legacy RC4 encryption type (0x17). In modern Active Directory environments where AES is the standard for Kerberos, the use of RC4 can be a strong indicator of a Golden Ticket attack or other unauthorized ticket forging activities, as adversaries often force a downgrade to RC4 for easier offline cracking.
Detects modifications to Windows Registry persistence locations (Run, RunOnce, Winlogon Shell/Userinit) where the assigned executable path is located within high-risk directories such as Temp, AppData, or Users Public folders. This is a common technique used by malware for persistence.

Detects the initiation of a new process where the effective user context is SYSTEM, but the originating process was launched by a non-privileged user account. This behavior is indicative of token manipulation techniques such as token impersonation or theft (e.g., via DuplicateTokenEx or ImpersonateLoggedOnUser) to escalate privileges to SYSTEM.
