Detects the use of native Windows utilities such as vssadmin, ntdsutil, or diskshadow to create volume shadow copies for the purpose of accessing or extracting the ntds.dit Active Directory database file. This activity is a common indicator of credential theft attempts where adversaries bypass file access protections to offline-process the database and retrieve password hashes.
Detects unauthorized access attempts to SYSTEM-level processes (winlogon.exe, services.exe) using specific access rights such as PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE or PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION. This behavior is indicative of token stealing or impersonation attempts often utilized by tools like JuicyPotato, RoguePotato, and PrintSpoofer to escalate privileges to SYSTEM.
Detects potential process injection attempts where a browser or Office application attempts to write to the memory or create a remote thread within high-value or trusted system processes like svchost.exe or explorer.exe. This activity is indicative of defense evasion techniques such as DLL or PE injection.
Detects suspicious process access to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass.exe) with access masks commonly associated with credential dumping techniques. The rule specifically monitors for high-privileged access requests by unauthorized processes, excluding known legitimate tools and system services, to identify attempts to extract cached authentication materials such as NTLM hashes or Kerberos tickets.
Detects the creation or connection of named pipes that match known default and common malleable C2 profile patterns used by the Cobalt Strike post-exploitation framework. These named pipes are frequently utilized by Cobalt Strike beacons for inter-process communication, SMB/TCP beacon functionality, and staging during post-exploitation activities.
This rule monitors for an abnormally high number of Kerberos Ticket Granting Service (TGS) requests using the RC4-HMAC encryption type (0x17) from a single IP address to various service accounts. This pattern is indicative of Kerberoasting, a technique where attackers attempt to obtain service tickets to crack service account passwords offline.
Detects instances where a process attempts to access the memory of the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS.exe) with suspicious access rights often associated with credential dumping. The rule excludes known benign processes such as antivirus and debugging tools.
Detects the creation or modification of scheduled tasks that exhibit suspicious characteristics, such as using common temporary directories, executing PowerShell with encoded commands, running tasks as SYSTEM, or using tasks that attempt to hide by using unusual naming conventions. These techniques are often used by adversaries to establish persistence or facilitate execution in a stealthy manner.
Detects potential Kerberoasting activity by identifying anomalous behavior where a single account requests 5 or more unique Kerberos Service Principal Name (SPN) tickets within a 5-minute window, excluding common service accounts and krbtgt ticket requests. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to enumerate and obtain tickets for multiple services for offline brute-force password cracking.
Detects attempts to bypass or tamper with the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in PowerShell by monitoring for common bypass techniques such as reflective loading of AmsiUtils, tampering with the amsiInitFailed field, or memory patching of AmsiScanBuffer via Script Block Logging (EventID 4104).
Detects unauthorized Active Directory replication requests (DCSync) by monitoring Event ID 4662 for specific directory replication GUIDs originating from computers not identified as domain controllers or by accounts not pre-approved for replication tasks.
Detects the abuse of common Windows LOLBins (Living Off the Land Binaries) like regsvr32, mshta, certutil, and rundll32 to proxy the execution of remote scripts, DLLs, or malicious payloads, a technique often used to bypass security controls.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line flags (EncodedCommand, NoProfile, WindowStyle Hidden, ExecutionPolicy Bypass) combined with either potential Base64-encoded payloads or network-based download cradles (e.g., Invoke-Expression, WebClient).
This rule identifies potential lateral movement or account compromise by detecting accounts that have performed NTLM network logons or authentication (Events 4624/4776) without corresponding Kerberos pre-authentication or interactive logon events within a 15-minute window. This pattern often indicates the use of stolen credentials (e.g., Pass-the-Hash) to access network resources rather than standard interactive user activity.
This rule detects potential Cobalt Strike SMB beacon activity by identifying the creation of suspicious named pipes (commonly associated with Cobalt Strike) and correlating them with low-jitter, uniform outbound network communication patterns typical of command and control (C2) beaconing behavior.
Detects the Print Spooler service (spoolsv.exe) spawning a shell/script interpreter or rundll32.exe as a child process, or loading a DLL from a driver-store/temp/ProgramData path — the process-injection and arbitrary-DLL-load pattern characteristic of PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-34527) exploitation.
Detects Active Directory enumeration consistent with BloodHound/SharpHound collection: SharpHound.exe or PowerView cmdlet process/command-line signatures, matching PowerShell script block log content, and bursts of LDAP traffic (ports 389/636) from a single source to a domain controller.
Detects the execution of known living-off-the-land binaries or network utilities initiated by or involving processes related to the Semantic Kernel framework (e.g., SKAgent, kernel.run). This pattern is often indicative of automated execution, potentially associated with agent-based activity or malicious orchestration leveraging AI framework components.
Detects the creation of a remote thread (Sysmon Event ID 8) by a process into a set of common host processes (e.g., svchost.exe, explorer.exe) where the starting address of the thread does not map to a known loaded module. This behavior is highly indicative of reflective code injection or shellcode execution within the address space of a remote process.
Detects the installation or execution of common Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools (e.g., ScreenConnect, AnyDesk, Atera) that are initiated from potentially untrusted parent processes like browsers, mail clients, or archive utilities, or that exhibit a code signing discrepancy. The rule further correlates these installation events with subsequent modifications to the Windows firewall within a two-hour window, which is indicative of an adversary establishing remote access persistence.
Detects the use of BITSAdmin to download files to suspicious directories (Temp, AppData, ProgramData) or to register persistent command execution via the /SetNotifyCmdLine parameter. This detection correlates process execution events with BITS Client operational log events to confirm the completion or status of the BITS job.
