Detects the creation or modification of a VSCode package.json file that maps a keybinding to the 'workbench.extensions.installExtension' command while explicitly setting the 'skipPublisherTrust' flag to true. This technique can be used by adversaries to install malicious VSCode extensions without publisher trust checks, potentially leading to supply chain compromise or defense evasion.

This rule detects network connections or DNS queries to a specific Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) domain and canister ID (tdtqy-oyaaa-aaaae-af2dq-cai.raw.icp0.io or tdtqy-oyaaa-aaaae-af2dq-cai). This pattern is associated with command and control (C2) activity, where compromised systems communicate with an adversary-controlled server.

Detects potential WordPress malware activity that abuses Steam Community profile comments as a command-and-control (C2) channel. The malware retrieves encoded payloads hidden in Steam profile comments using invisible Unicode characters, decodes malicious URLs, and downloads additional JavaScript payloads. This rule identifies outbound connections from WordPress servers to Steam Community URLs or known malicious infrastructure associated with this campaign.

This rule detects devices making a high volume of outbound network connections (more than 1000 connections within a one-minute window) to a single remote IP address. This behavior could indicate a network denial-of-service (DoS) attack originating from the device, or potentially other forms of high-volume network activity such as data exfiltration or scanning.

This rule detects a high volume of file creation events (100 or more within an hour) occurring in common development-related directories such as 'node_modules', 'packages', or 'vendor'. This activity can be indicative of legitimate software development processes like dependency installation or project builds. However, it can also signal malicious activity, particularly if observed on systems not typically used for development, or as part of a supply chain compromise where malicious dependencies are being introduced or built.

This rule detects when a single process modifies or creates three or more YAML files ('.yaml' or '.yml' extensions) within folders containing 'config' or 'pipeline' in their path, within a one-hour window. This behavior could indicate an attacker modifying configuration or deployment files, potentially for persistence, defense evasion, or impact.

This rule looks for a Rust-based stealer that uses Tor for hiding traffic and low-level Linux hooks associated with IronWorm. This malware targets developers through poisoned packages. Linux build servers are at special risk. Ask the person who used the computer whether they installed new software or clicked a link, and involve your security team if the answer is unclear.

This rule detects the execution of a VDSO hijacking payload over an SSH connection. It specifically looks for the case-insensitive strings "vdso" and "mmap" within the TCP payload of an established SSH session, indicating an attempt to manipulate the Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (VDSO) for privilege escalation or other malicious purposes.

Detects the use of the 'setcap' utility with parameters that assign all Linux capabilities to a binary file. This capability can be abused to create a backdoored binary, enabling unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and bypassing security controls.

This rule detects network traffic containing the string "/etc/sudoers" over TCP port 22 (SSH). This could indicate an attempt to modify the sudoers file for privilege escalation, as the sudoers file controls which users can execute commands with superuser privileges.

This rule detects attempts to manipulate the sudo timestamp cache by looking for repeated 'sudo -n' commands within a short timeframe. The 'sudo -n' command allows sudo to run a command without prompting for a password, which can be abused by an attacker to maintain sudo privileges or bypass re-authentication if they have already compromised a user's session. The thresholding mechanism (10 times in 30 seconds from the same source IP) aims to reduce false positives from legitimate, infrequent uses of 'sudo -n' and focus on potential automated or rapid attempts to interact with sudo without password prompts, possibly to keep the timestamp alive or to quickly execute multiple commands.

This rule detects attempts to create a new container service via the Docker API. It specifically looks for HTTP POST requests to the '/services/create' URI on port 2375, which is the default unencrypted Docker API port. This activity could indicate an attacker attempting to establish persistence or execute malicious containers on a compromised Docker host.

This rule detects attempts to modify login scripts, specifically '.profile', on a remote host via SSH. The detection is based on observing the string ".profile" within TCP traffic destined for port 22 (SSH) on the home network. This activity could indicate an attacker establishing persistence by modifying user login scripts to execute malicious commands upon subsequent logins.

This rule detects potential privilege escalation attempts on UniFi OS systems where the 'ucs-update' service account uses 'sudo' to execute sensitive commands like 'dpkg', 'chmod', or 'systemctl'. This behavior is indicative of the vulnerability described in the Bishop Fox research, where an unauthenticated RCE chain can lead to root escalation.

This rule detects potential data exfiltration of USB drive contents over SSH using SCP. It triggers when TCP traffic on port 22 (SSH) from the home network to the home network contains the string "/dev/sd" (case-insensitive) and the data size is greater than 65000 bytes. This combination suggests that a file from a Linux-like USB device (often mounted as /dev/sdX) is being transferred out via SCP.

This rule detects the execution of a system shutdown command ('shutdown -h now') over an SSH connection. It specifically looks for this string within TCP traffic directed to port 22 (SSH) on the home network, indicating a remote shutdown initiated via SSH.

Detects the execution of the GitHub CLI command 'gh auth token'. This behavior was observed being used by the hijacked Bitwarden CLI npm package (TeamPCP campaign) to extract and steal active GitHub credentials from developer environments.
