This rule detects evidence of remote service installation and execution, commonly associated with tools like PsExec, PaExec, and RemCom, or the direct use of Windows administrative shares (ADMIN$, C$) to execute binaries remotely. The rule monitors for process creation events involving known service binary names, service creation attempts, or the execution of binaries staged in administrative network shares.

Detects the deletion of Volume Shadow Copies and disabling of Windows boot recovery options using native administrative utilities such as vssadmin, wmic, powershell, wbadmin, and bcdedit. This behavior is frequently associated with pre-encryption activities in ransomware attacks to prevent system restoration.

This rule detects instances where a process matching a known sideload-vulnerable binary (such as werfaultsecure or wuauclt) spawns a PowerShell process that executes commands commonly used for Active Directory reconnaissance and system information discovery. This behavior is indicative of post-compromise activity, specifically reconnaissance phases performed by malware loaders like Lorem Ipsum.

003
Detects the loading of suspicious kernel drivers (Sysmon Event ID 6) that are unsigned, have invalid/revoked signatures, or are located in user-writable directories (e.g., Temp folders). This rule aims to identify Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks, where adversaries load vulnerable drivers to escalate privileges or bypass security controls.

Detects techniques commonly used to dump Active Directory domain credentials by accessing the NTDS.dit database file. This includes the use of ntdsutil for IFM (Install From Media) operations, manual shadow copy creation using vssadmin or wmic to copy the ntds.dit file, direct access to shadow copy volumes containing sensitive database files, and the use of credential dumping tools like Impacket's secretsdump.

204
Detects the creation or modification of Windows Registry Run or RunOnce keys where the associated executable path is located in suspicious or non-standard directories (e.g., Temp, AppData, ProgramData). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries, such as APT28, attempting to maintain persistence by ensuring malicious code executes automatically upon user login.

104
Detects the loading of an unsigned or invalidly signed DLL from commonly abused user-writable directories (Temp, AppData, Public). This behavior is characteristic of DLL side-loading techniques, often used by threat actors like the Lazarus Group to execute malicious code via a legitimate, trusted application.

104
Detects the use of Windows administrative tools (vssadmin, wbadmin, and bcdedit) to delete Volume Shadow Copies, backup catalogs, and disable system recovery mechanisms. This behavior is highly indicative of preparatory stages for destructive wiper malware attacks, such as those historically observed by the Sandworm (Seashell Blizzard) group (e.g., CaddyWiper, Industroyer2).

Detects the execution of shortcut (.lnk) files located on removable media (USB) that spawn common Windows binaries (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, mshta.exe) with hidden window flags. This behavior is indicative of initial access or lateral movement techniques used by Mustang Panda (Earth Preta) for USB-based malware propagation and DLL side-loading.

Detects the loading of WPF/XAML-related assemblies (PresentationFramework.dll, System.Xaml.dll, or PresentationCore.dll) by the SharePoint web server process (w3wp.exe). This behavior is highly irregular for typical SharePoint web worker processes and may indicate an exploitation attempt targeting deserialization vulnerabilities leading to remote code execution.

Detects the execution of a Node.js interpreter (node.exe or node) as a child process of a Fortinet management-related process, or where the command line contains references to Fortinet. This behavior is indicative of post-exploitation activity related to CVE-2025-25249, where a heap-based buffer overflow is exploited to deploy the PivotC2 remote access trojan.

Detects the execution of script interpreters (PowerShell, Cmd, Mshta) launched directly from common web browsers (explorer, chrome, edge, firefox). The rule specifically flags common obfuscation techniques such as encoded commands, hidden window styles, or attempts to download and execute code (e.g., IEX, DownloadString) while excluding explicit file-based script executions.

Detects attempts to terminate common antivirus and security software processes using 'taskkill.exe' with force flags. The rule specifically correlates this behavior with SQL Server processes (initiating or present on the host), suggesting an attempt to disable security controls to facilitate unauthorized activity or persistence.
