Detects a shell command referencing a hidden, octal/self-deleting payload
file written to a VMFS datastore volume using a '.sys' filename prefix followed by a
numeric timestamp, combined with an 'rm -f' cleanup of the same file. CrowdStrike observed
this VMFS staging technique used to blend a decoded payload in with legitimate system files
before it is executed and then removed as an anti-forensics step, denying incident
responders a copy of the payload from disk.

Detects awk-based shell command construction on ESX BusyBox that interleaves
an esxcli/vim-cmd command string with invisible Unicode code points (zero-width space,
zero-width non-joiner/joiner, word joiner, Mongolian vowel separator, left/right-to-left
marks, or Plane-16 private-use characters generated via sprintf hex escapes), strips them
with gsub(), and passes the result to system(). CrowdStrike documented this as one of 21
validated ESX obfuscation techniques that leaves only the invisible-character-laden string
in shell logs while the executed command is fully hidden from cleartext review.

This rule detects potential command injection attacks targeting the Zimbra 'swatchdog' service, specifically involving the abuse of SNMP trap notifications (CVE-2026-73570). The attack works by injecting malicious shell metacharacters into the 'zimbra-MIB::zmServiceName' argument, which is processed by a Perl-invoked 'swatchdog' script. The rule monitors process execution events for shell commands spawned by the swatchdog utility that contain suspicious shell operators and the targeted MIB parameter.
The following analytic identifies DNS queries from internal hosts to dynamic domain providers. It leverages DNS query logs from the `Network_Resolution` data model and cross-references them with a lookup file containing known dynamic DNS providers. This activity is significant because attackers often use dynamic DNS services to host malicious payloads or command-and-control servers, making it crucial for security teams to monitor. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to bypass firewall blocks, evade detection, and maintain persistent access to the network.
Detects HTTP POST requests directed at Grav CMS endpoints where the __unique_form_id__ parameter contains directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../). This behavior is indicative of attempted exploitation of CVE-2026-42608, aimed at bypassing file system restrictions to write files to unauthorized locations outside the application's expected form data directory.
Detects runtime processes associated with AI agents or scripting environments (e.g., python, node, deno) accessing sensitive credential storage paths and files, such as SSH keys, cloud provider configuration directories, and local environment variables, which may indicate credential exfiltration.
This analytic detects the use of `curl.exe` with insecure flags such as `-k`, `--insecure`, `--proxy-insecure`, or `--doh-insecure`
which disable TLS certificate validation.
It leverages Cisco Network Visibility Module (NVM) flow data and process arguments
to identify outbound connections initiated by curl where TLS checks were explicitly disabled.
This behavior may indicate an attempt to bypass certificate validation to connect to potentially untrusted or malicious endpoints,
a common tactic in red team operations, malware staging, or data exfiltration over HTTPS.

Detects the first-ever observed network connection from a device to WhatsApp Web or Telegram Web within a 30-day lookback period. This behavior is used to identify potentially unauthorized companion-device linking to a user's messenger account, which could indicate credential theft or unauthorized access.
Detects DNS lookups and outbound network connections to known command and control (C2) and staging domains associated with the STAC4924 campaign. The rule performs strict matching on domain names to ensure that subdomains are identified while avoiding false positives from partial string matches within URLs.
Detects evidence of the SLAPSHOT backdoor on Citrix NetScaler appliances by identifying specific ephemeral IPC files (/tmp/.uxdport and /tmp/.uxdlock) or the associated python-based launcher process that uses base64-encoded arguments to initialize the proxy daemon.
Detects potential misuse of SSH credentials by identifying successful SSH logins from source IP addresses that have not been observed in the previous 14 days, or successful SSH logins occurring within one hour of an authorized_keys file modification on the same host. This combination of behaviors is indicative of an adversary establishing or using persistence via SSH key manipulation.
This rule monitors Linux system authentication logs to identify potential unauthorized access attempts. It triggers when a single source IP initiates a high volume of failed SSH login attempts (brute force) or when a single user account is targeted by multiple distinct source IPs within a short time window (password spraying).
Detects the use of standard Linux command-line utilities (e.g., cat, curl, vi) to read or reference sensitive cloud credential files or Kubernetes service account tokens. This behavior is a common indicator of credential theft or discovery activities following initial access to a Linux host.
This rule monitors for Linux web-server service accounts (such as www-data or nginx) attempting to elevate privileges by modifying file permissions to set SUID/SGID bits or by executing common system binaries with shell-escape patterns commonly documented in GTFOBins for privilege escalation.
Detects anomalous process execution and loopback network activity associated with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) 'exec_in_session' method. This pattern indicates an adversary potentially abusing the AI coding assistant's MCP server capabilities to execute arbitrary commands as a C2 channel.

Detects anomalous process execution by PeopleSoft application server processes (e.g., psappsrv, jsvc) immediately following an inbound network request. This behavior is indicative of exploitation of a Java deserialization gadget chain, such as those used by the threat actor UNC6240 to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) and spawn command interpreters.
Detects anomalous authentication patterns where a single source IP targets a high number of unique user accounts with failed authentication attempts over a rolling window. By filtering out SSO/Federated methods and specific service account patterns, this rule isolates low-and-slow brute-force or password-spraying activities designed to evade standard account lockout mechanisms.
IOC hunt across DNS, network, and file-hash telemetry for the Ledger Google Ads phishing campaign. Vercel redirect domains are matched by exact hostname (DNS query name / parsed URL host) rather than substring, eliminating false positives from unrelated strings that merely contain a look-alike domain fragment. GCS bucket and Google Sites path IOCs remain substring-matched since the bucket IDs and page slugs are already highly specific.
Detects the spawning of shells, network utilities, or scripting interpreters from Citrix NetScaler processes (nsppe or httpd), which may indicate post-exploitation activity following an initial access vulnerability.
Detects command-line activity on a NetScaler appliance indicative of defense evasion by truncating, deleting, or disabling audit logs (ns.log) and syslog forwarding services. This activity often follows the exploitation of public-facing application vulnerabilities where an attacker seeks to hide their presence.
