Detects co-occurrence of MicrosoftSystem64 binary execution and DNS queries to huggingface.co from the same host within a 5-minute window. MicrosoftSystem64 is a DPRK-attributed (FAMOUS CHOLLIMA / Contagious Interview) multi-platform RAT delivered via malicious npm packages that exfiltrates stolen credentials, screenshots, and wallet data to attacker-controlled HuggingFace datasets. SafeDep confirmed the exfiltration pipeline was actively operating with real victims as of May 28, 2026.

This rule set detects various stages of the JFMBackdoor and Showboat malware, including DLL sideloading of FLTLIB.dll by fltMC.exe from non-standard directories, network connections to known C2 and staging infrastructure (namefuture.site or 23.27.201.160), command-line activity referencing a specific Pastebin URL used by Showboat for process-hiding code, and the creation of JFMBackdoor payload artifacts (flt.bin, scr.mui).

This rule detects the creation of an XDG Autostart entry on a Linux host by looking for network traffic containing the string "/etc/xdg/autostart/" in a TCP flow to the server on port 22. This directory is commonly used for persistence by malware to automatically execute at system startup.

This rule detects network traffic containing the string "/etc/udev/rules.d/" over TCP port 22 (SSH). This string is indicative of an attempt to modify udev rules, which can be used for Linux persistence by executing malicious scripts or commands when specific hardware events occur. The detection is focused on traffic flowing from the home network to a server on the home network, suggesting an internal system attempting to modify udev rules on another internal system via SSH.

This rule detects the creation of 'requirements.txt' or 'pom.xml' files on a system. These files are commonly used in software development projects (Python and Java/Maven, respectively) to manage dependencies and project configurations. Monitoring their creation can help identify legitimate development activities, but also potential malicious actions such as supply chain compromise where an adversary might introduce or modify project dependencies.

This rule identifies an anomalous surge in network connection attempts to a particular remote IP address. It establishes a baseline of average daily connection counts to each remote IP over the past week. It then compares the current hourly connection count to this baseline, triggering an alert if the current count is more than five times the baseline and surpasses a total of 500 connections within that hour. This could indicate various malicious activities such as data exfiltration, command and control communication, or a denial-of-service attack originating from the monitored environment.

Detects the execution of `gh auth token` which is used by the Shai-Hulud malware to steal the active GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). This rule specifically looks for the `gh.exe` or `gh` process executing with command-line arguments containing both "auth" and "token".

This rule detects potential C2 beaconing behavior by identifying devices that make a high number of periodic outbound connections (20 or more within an hour) to a single external IP address on common web and C2-related ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443, 4444, 5555, 8888, 9001). The rule summarizes these connections by device, remote IP, and initiating process, highlighting sustained communication patterns indicative of command and control.

Detects the __DAEMONIZED=1 environment variable marker used by the vpmdhaj npm supply chain campaign (Mini Shai-Hulud) to spawn a detached credential-harvesting payload during npm install. This marker prevents re-entry when payload.bin is re-launched on subsequent require() calls. Microsoft explicitly recommends this detection, noting that the exact string __DAEMONIZED=1 has no legitimate npm ecosystem use, leading to near-zero false positives.

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.

Detects Node.js or Bun processes accessing sensitive developer configuration directories such as .ssh and .npmrc, indicating potential credential harvesting. This rule specifically looks for file access or open events initiated by 'node.exe', 'node', 'bun.exe', or 'bun' processes targeting paths containing '.ssh' or '.npmrc', or files named '.npmrc'.

Auto-Color is a Linux backdoor that installs a malicious library libcext.so.2 and writes it to /etc/ld.preload so the library loads before all other executables. This allows the malware to hook libc functions and hide its C2 connections. This rule looks for modifications to ld.preload or the presence of libcext.so.2 in the library path. In plain terms, it catches when a backdoor is trying to make itself invisible by loading first and controlling what the system reports.

Identifies instances where curl is used to interact with a mounted Docker Unix socket. This technique is used to issue API commands directly to the Docker daemon, often to deploy new privileged containers for host escape.
