Detects a sequence of activity characteristic of lateral movement and credential theft: the deployment or execution of PsExec service followed by the use of Windows utilities (vssadmin, ntdsutil, esentutl) to perform Volume Shadow Copy-based extraction of the NTDS.dit database or SYSTEM hive on the same host.

Detects the execution of shell interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, Bash, Zsh) with suspicious command-line arguments typically associated with malicious activity, such as encoded commands, hidden window styles, or network download requests, when initiated by common user-facing applications like web browsers or Windows Explorer.

This rule monitors for processes that are digitally signed by 'Discord Inc.' or 'Lenovo' but executing from file paths that are not associated with legitimate installations of their software. This behavior is indicative of threat actors using stolen or compromised code-signing certificates to bypass security controls like SmartScreen or endpoint antivirus solutions.

Sweeps Defender Advanced Hunting telemetry for known Sauron Loader indicators: 5 malicious SHA256 hashes (MSI installer, rnp.dll loader, tdwp.dll decrypter, embedded RSA private/public key blobs) across file/process/image-load events, plus 4 C2 domains and their full URLs across network and DNS telemetry. No IP indicators were published in the source reporting (C2 is domain-based over HTTPS) — the IP bucket is intentionally omitted rather than filled with placeholder data.

Detects Sauron Loader stage-2 payload execution: a randomly-named file dropped in %TEMP% and executed within 5 minutes by a native launcher (rundll32/regsvr32/msiexec/cmd/powershell/wscript). Scoped to devices that already show the confirmed rnpkeys.exe side-load from ProgramData\keyroll, turning a very noisy fleet-wide 'temp file executed by native binary' heuristic (matches countless legitimate installers/updaters) into a targeted next-stage check on hosts with corroborated Sauron Loader activity. Also fixes an unused/dead variable and an ambiguous post-join column reference.

Detects the execution of known remote access tools (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Quick Assist) on Windows systems. The rule is intended to be used in a correlated detection pipeline that identifies a multi-stage attack chain involving an initial email-bombing flood followed by an external Microsoft Teams vishing call impersonating IT support.

107
Detects creation of the 'keyroll' scheduled task used to relaunch the Sauron Loader DLL side-loading chain. Requires the schtasks.exe command line to both reference the 'keyroll' task name AND explicitly reference the ProgramData\keyroll path or rnpkeys.exe (ruling out unrelated tasks that happen to be named 'keyroll', e.g. legitimate key-rotation automation), and requires an INNER join corroborating an actual rnpkeys.exe relaunch from that path within 24h — a lone task-creation event with no follow-on relaunch no longer alerts.

Detects the Sauron Loader vishing chain: a mailbox hit by a high-volume, high-distinct-sender email bombing burst (raised from 20 to 50 emails/hour and now requiring 15+ distinct senders, to exclude single-sender retry loops or broken automation), followed within 2 hours by the same user launching Quick Assist or AnyDesk — consistent with an attacker posing as IT support after the flood. Also fixes a schema bug where EmailEvents was queried with TimeGenerated instead of Timestamp, and a post-join column reference bug.

This rule detects the execution of the AnyDesk remote access tool shortly after its likely download via Microsoft Edge. This pattern is commonly associated with social engineering vishing attacks where an adversary directs a user to download and run remote access software.

Detects a multi-stage, automated attack chain performed by AI-based development agents (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Cursor). The rule correlates process discovery, credential access, file collection (staging), and exfiltration over web services within a tight 15-minute window, identifying potential autonomous exploitation and data exfiltration. Covered T1046, T1552.001, T1078, T1005, T1567

This rule detects the execution of common Node.js package managers (npm, yarn, pnpm) attempting to install specific dependencies that match known patterns of malicious or typosquatted packages often used in supply chain attacks. The detection focuses on suspicious package names that mimic common data structure library naming conventions.

Detects the creation of a Volume Shadow Copy followed by an attempt to access or copy sensitive files, specifically the NTDS.dit database or the SYSTEM registry hive, from that shadow copy. This behavior is indicative of an attempt to perform offline credential theft.

This rule detects potential MFA phishing attempts by identifying access to known malicious domains used for MFA credential harvesting within email communications and network traffic. It flags instances where users interact with domains masquerading as legitimate multi-factor authentication setup or registration services.

Detects instances where the Node.js process (node.exe) is executed with a command-line argument referencing 'sharedLoad.min.js'. This is often used in web-based applications or potentially malicious obfuscated scripts, but may flag legitimate JavaScript automation tasks.

407
This rule detects scenarios where an AI agent executes shell commands or system-level tools immediately after receiving a prompt injection attack from an untrusted source. It correlates agent audit logs—specifically identifying tool calls flagged for prompt injection—with actual endpoint process creation events. It flags process execution as 'High' severity if the command line matches common malicious patterns like encoded commands, IEX, or attempts to access credential material (e.g., lsass, mimikatz).

This rule detects known malicious activity including network connections to a specific C2 IP address (69.48.229.140), downloading files from specific C2 URLs, the presence of known malicious file hashes (SHA256), and communications involving specific actor-associated email addresses.

This rule detects a node.exe process initiating a network connection to a specific remote IP (69.48.229.140) on port 8080, followed by the termination of that same process within 45 seconds of the connection. This behavior is indicative of a short-lived beaconing process or an ephemeral network task associated with command-and-control activity.

Detects unauthorized processes, excluding standard web browsers, accessing sensitive browser files such as Login Data, Cookies, Web Data, and Local State. This activity is indicative of credential harvesting malware attempting to steal authentication cookies, saved passwords, or browser profiles.
