Detects the Microsoft IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) spawning common command-line shells (cmd.exe or powershell.exe) and executing discovery-related commands. This is highly indicative of potential web shell activity where an adversary uses an existing web application vulnerability to gain remote code execution.

Detects the presence of known SHA256 hashes associated with the 'ccrtc' planter PowerShell scripts and C2 SDK JavaScript components. These files were identified as being dropped into 'C:\Windows\Temp' during the STAC4924 webshell intrusion campaign.

Detects reconnaissance activity on IIS servers where the worker process (w3wp.exe) spawns appcmd.exe or PowerShell to list websites, virtual directories, or application pools. This pattern is indicative of an attacker performing post-exploitation discovery after establishing a web shell.

Detects a multi-stage activity where PowerShell is used to download a ZIP file, followed by the execution of a batch script (1.bat) that subsequently launches LockScreenContentServer.exe. This behavior is indicative of a DLL side-loading chain designed to execute malicious code via legitimate processes.

Detects the execution of control.exe with suspicious command-line arguments involving WebDAV paths (DavWWWRoot) and file extensions like .cpl or .dll, initiated by Windows task-related processes (svchost, taskeng, schtasks). This pattern is indicative of potential malicious payload loading or proxy execution where a scheduled task is used to trigger a secondary malicious component.

Detects the use of legitimate Windows administrative tools (vssadmin, wmic, wbadmin, bcdedit, sc, net) to delete volume shadow copies, clear backup catalogs, disable boot recovery options, or stop critical backup and system services. This behavior is highly characteristic of ransomware activity aiming to prevent data restoration and system recovery.

Detects instances where explorer.exe (the Windows Shell) launches common scripting or command-line binaries with suspicious arguments often associated with 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks. These attacks involve tricking users into copying and pasting obfuscated PowerShell, mshta, or curl commands into the Windows Run dialog to execute malicious payloads.

Detects a .ps1-named file being loaded as an executable image or created as a process's own file name (both anomalous under normal Windows semantics, since PowerShell always runs scripts via powershell.exe/pwsh.exe as the process image, never as the .ps1 itself). Anchored to the known NeedyMantis sideload staging folders to exclude unrelated developer/test tooling elsewhere on disk that might trip a similar anomaly.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe or PowerShell cmdlets that execute with SYSTEM privileges, or tasks that reference common temporary directories or persistence triggers (logon, idle). This behavior is frequently associated with ransomware, malware persistence, or staged payload execution.

Detects the execution of known portable network scanning utilities such as SoftPerfect NetScan and Advanced IP Scanner. These tools are frequently abused by threat actors for network enumeration and service discovery to facilitate lateral movement within a compromised environment.

Detects the execution of known administrative or reconnaissance tools (such as netscan, PsExec, or nmap) that have been renamed or relocated outside of standard directories like C:\Windows\System32 or Program Files, matching TTPs observed in INC Ransom operations.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using schtasks.exe that involves 'keyroll' in the command line. This pattern specifically flags tasks associated with the 'rnpkeys.exe' utility or tasks being created within 'keyroll' directories, which may indicate the deployment or maintenance of unauthorized key management or persistence mechanisms.

Detects access to sensitive browser credential and cookie files by processes that are not recognized web browsers or their designated update components. This behavior is highly indicative of credential theft activity where an adversary is attempting to extract stored credentials or session cookies from local browser storage.

Detects unauthorized access by a non-browser process to Chromium-based 'Cookies' SQLite database files, which are used by browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Brave. This behavior is a strong indicator of credential theft or session hijacking, as attackers target these files to extract session cookies and bypass MFA for cloud services.

This rule detects the suspicious archival of browser credential files (e.g., Login Data, Cookies, wallet.dat) or the transmission of data to common command-and-control (C2) services such as Telegram, Discord, or raw IP addresses using common system tools like PowerShell, curl, or certutil.

Detects unauthorized access attempts to Chromium-based browser credential storage files, specifically 'Login Data' (SQLite database) and 'Local State' (master key storage), by processes other than standard browsers or known security products. This activity is a common indicator of credential harvesting by information stealers such as LummaC2, Vidar, and RedLine.

Detects a multi-stage activity chain indicative of infostealer malware, including reading the browser 'Local State' file (containing the master key), accessing a browser process (likely for memory dumping or token extraction), and initiating an immediate outbound network connection to an external destination.

Detects unauthorized access to common browser credential storage files (Login Data, Cookies, Web Data, Local State) by processes other than standard web browsers. This rule identifies potentially malicious activity by filtering for rare or unsigned binaries executing from common staging directories (Temp, Downloads) or accessing browser files shortly after the process launch, which is a common behavior pattern for info-stealer malware.

This rule detects network connections initiated by unsigned executables that were recently created (within one hour) in common staging directories such as AppData, Temp, or ProgramData. It specifically targets beacons to the Telegram Bot API or Discord webhooks, which are common patterns for command-and-control (C2) communication used by malware such as the Amadey bot.

Detects the Kothamine post-installation technique where npm/node spawns PowerShell to reflectively load a .NET assembly stager into memory. This behavior is followed by the PowerShell process spawning anomalous instances of RuntimeBroker.exe or svchost.exe. These spawned processes exhibit suspicious characteristics, such as executing from non-standard file paths, having missing command-line arguments (like the required '-k' for svchost), or having an illegitimate parent process (powershell.exe) instead of standard system parents like services.exe or wininit.exe.

Detects modifications to Windows Registry keys responsible for the legal notice caption and text displayed at logon. Adversaries may abuse Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to set these values to ransom-themed messages, a technique sometimes observed in ransomware campaigns to signal compromise to users.
