Detects unauthorized access to sensitive cryptographic files, such as SSH private keys, GPG secret keys, or Windows certificate store files, by unauthorized or anomalous processes (specifically node/npm or processes within /tmp). This is followed by potential outbound exfiltration via an external network connection or the mass access of multiple sensitive files within a short timeframe.

This rule detects command line execution containing keywords associated with offensive security tools (e.g., 'metasploit', 'exploit', 'shellcode', 'payload') in conjunction with external resource indicators such as HTTP/HTTPS or FTP URLs, suggesting the download and potential execution of malicious payloads.

Detects the use of 'sshpass' to automate SSH authentication, often used for lateral movement. The rule monitors command lines for the 'sshpass' utility combined with 'StrictHostKeyChecking=no' and specific service accounts (psoft, oracle, linuxadm) often targeted by threat actors such as ShinyHunters.

This rule identifies potential ransomware activity by detecting a process performing a high volume of file rename or modification operations within a short time window. It specifically targets files with known ransomware extensions or those using randomized 6-8 character alphanumeric extensions, while excluding common administrative, backup, and temporary file operations performed by trusted software.

This query detects the creation of local user accounts on Linux systems using the 'useradd' or 'adduser' commands. Monitoring for local account creation is crucial as adversaries may create accounts for persistence, privilege escalation, or to facilitate lateral movement.

Detects suspicious process activity originating from common build and package management tools (node, npm, bun, npx) that targets sensitive cloud and container credential locations, such as AWS IMDS, AWS configuration files, Kubernetes service account tokens, and HashiCorp Vault secrets. This rule is designed to identify malicious post-installation scripts or build processes attempting to exfiltrate credentials from developer or CI/CD environments.

Detects attempts to uninstall, disable, or remove ModSecurity Web Application Firewall (WAF) modules on IIS or Apache servers. This behavior often indicates an adversary attempting to impair security defenses by disabling WAF protection to facilitate further malicious activity, such as web shell deployment or exploitation.

Detects the removal or uninstallation of the ModSecurity Web Application Firewall (WAF) module across Windows (via appcmd.exe) and Linux (via package managers or apxs). Adversaries often disable security controls like ModSecurity to facilitate the exploitation of web vulnerabilities or to maintain persistence without triggering defensive alerts.

This rule monitors file system events for the creation of files with common web shell names (e.g., shell.php, cmd.php) within known web server directory paths (e.g., wwwroot, inetpub). The detection of these specific file names in directories typically used for serving web content is a strong indicator of a potential web shell deployment.

Detects the execution of 'aws sts get-caller-identity' spawned by IDE-related processes such as VS Code extension hosts or Amazon Q language servers. This pattern may indicate cloud credential reconnaissance performed by a malicious MCP (Model Context Protocol) server or compromised development extension (CVE-2026-12957).

Detects the execution of a /bin/sh root shell initiated by /bin/su where the parent process indicates a non-root context. This pattern is characteristic of CVE-2026-46331, where an attacker exploits the page cache (pedit COW) to inject shellcode into the in-memory cached /bin/su binary, effectively gaining root privileges without on-disk modification.

This rule detects potential data exfiltration attempts by monitoring for network connections to URLs containing suspicious substrings (bit, onion, .cc, .su) over common web and DNS ports (53, 80, 443, 8080). It flags high-frequency unique connection attempts from a single device, which may indicate command-and-control (C2) traffic or data exfiltration over covert channels.

Detects evidence of CVE-2026-43503 (DirtyClone) exploitation, where an unprivileged user attempts to gain root access by corrupting the in-memory page cache of /usr/bin/su. The detection monitors for suspicious invocation of 'su -c /bin/sh' by non-root users and the subsequent spawning of root shells from an unprivileged parent process.

This rule detects endpoint DNS queries or network connections to the suspected phishing domain 'gasparinutrition.com' initiated by common web browsers or email clients. This provides visibility into potential user interaction with malicious sites that would otherwise be missed by email security gateways.

This rule detects potential Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) exploitation attempts by identifying JNDI injection patterns in web request headers, process command lines, and syslog messages. It further identifies suspicious outbound network callbacks to known malicious infrastructure associated with these exploitation attempts.
