Detects a behavioral chain where a process establishes persistence using a 'WindowsUpdate' Registry Run key or a scheduled task, followed within five minutes by an outbound network connection from the same process. The rule specifically excludes cases where a ZIP file was written to disk, identifying potential in-memory staging for exfiltration.

001
Detects multiple, rapid execution sequences of Python or PIP utilities using the 'install' flag with specific common library names often used in reconnaissance or malicious activity. This activity is monitored by looking for repetitive installations of targeted packages within a short timeframe on the same endpoint, which may indicate automated tool deployment or preparation for malicious operations.

Detects a dual persistence mechanism where an adversary establishes persistence both via a registry Run key and a scheduled task, both named 'WindowsUpdate'. The rule correlates these events occurring on the same device within a 15-minute window.

Detects unauthorized processes (excluding firefox.exe and explorer.exe) accessing or modifying sensitive Firefox browser profile files, specifically places.sqlite (history/bookmarks) and cookies.sqlite (session cookies). This activity is often indicative of credential or session hijacking attempts by malware or malicious scripts.

Detects the execution of the Windows Workspaces Broker process (wkspbroker.exe) when it loads a library (DLL) from a path within the RemoteApp Gateway directory under LOCALAPPDATA. This behavior is associated with DLL side-loading techniques used to execute malicious payloads such as the Xray-core implant.

Detects a suspicious pattern where a single process loads high-risk cryptography and system-level modules (e.g., sqlite3, win32crypt, win32api) followed within 30 minutes by credential harvesting actions such as dumping Wi-Fi keys using 'netsh' or establishing persistence via 'schtasks'. This behavior is indicative of a 'lazy-import' stealer or malicious loader attempting to evade simple signature-based detection.

Detects endpoint, process, and network activity associated with the 'TaskStomp' threat actor, specifically targeting known malicious file hashes, command-and-control domains, and specific URLs used in their campaigns.

Detects unauthorized processes attempting to access Discord's local storage (LevelDB) where authentication tokens are stored, followed by a network request to the Discord API user validation endpoint, which is a pattern indicative of token extraction and liveness testing by malware.

Detects sensitive access to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process, commonly associated with credential dumping attempts. This rule monitors Windows Security Event 4663, specifically flagging processes attempting to gain specific access levels (e.g., Read, Query, or Full Control) to the lsass.exe process.

Detects the execution of command interpreters or scripting engines spawned by the ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus GINA client process (typically present at the Windows logon screen). This activity is highly suspicious as it indicates potential command injection or abuse of a pre-authentication component running at SYSTEM privileges.

Detects anomalous executions of ctfmon.exe that deviate from known-good parent process patterns, such as unexpected parent processes (e.g., script hosts, LOLBins) or execution from locations other than C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe. This rule is designed to help identify potential masquerading or process injection associated with exploitation attempts, including CVE-2026-45586.

Detects the SharePoint application pool worker process (w3wp.exe) spawning command-line interpreters or scripting engines. This behavior is indicative of post-exploitation activity where an attacker, having gained remote code execution via techniques like insecure deserialization, executes commands or deploys in-memory webshells within the context of the IIS worker process.

Detects the creation of files on a host system that match naming conventions consistent with Rhysida ransomware notes. These files (e.g., README, HOW_TO_RECOVER) indicate a post-encryption state where the adversary has demanded payment. The detection joins events to highlight multiple occurrences of these note-like files on a single device.

Detects instances where PowerShell is initiated via LNK files, specifically targeting PDF LNK attachments or known malicious script naming patterns (update1.vbs, update2.ps1) and common downloader cmdlets (e.g., IEX, Invoke-WebRequest). It also includes specific indicators for remote file downloads.

Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a user or system initiates a PowerShell script (update1.ps1) via Windows Explorer in close temporal proximity (within 5 minutes) to the execution of known update-related tasks or scripts (OneDriveUpdateScheduler or update1.vbs). This correlation aims to identify potential persistence or malicious activity masquerading as update processes.

Detects PowerShell processes using .NET screen capture libraries (System.Windows.Forms/Drawing) to generate image files in common staging directories like Temp or Public folders, which is a common pattern for malicious screen capture exfiltration.

Detects modifications to the creation time of web-accessible script files (.aspx, .php, .asp, .jsp) located in common web directories (wwwroot, inetpub). Adversaries often use timestomping to hide the creation of backdoored web shells, making them appear older and potentially bypassing forensic or integrity-checking mechanisms.

This rule detects potential web shells that employ steganographic techniques by embedding malicious executable script code within image file structures (JPG or PNG). It specifically flags files containing common web shell markers 'ONEPIECE' or 'x_best_911' in combination with embedded script tags (e.g., <script, eval, <%, <?php) within files identified as having image magic bytes.

This rule detects interactive or user-triggered execution of PowerShell carrying indicators of payload downloading, inline evaluation, or Base64 encoding. Because explorer.exe is the parent process, it typically signifies a payload delivered via email/web that a user opened directly such as an .lnk shortcut.
