40,063 detections

This rule detects PowerShell script blocks that exhibit multiple indicators of obfuscation and in-memory execution. It identifies the combination of AES encryption, embedded key bytes commonly associated with deobfuscation routines, GZip compression, and reflective assembly loading (Assembly.Load). The use of multiple techniques simultaneously significantly increases the likelihood of malicious activity, such as fileless malware loading or execution of obfuscated payloads.

Detects attempts to modify Windows Defender security settings by adding exclusions to the scan path using various PowerShell cmdlets or WMI methods. This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to evade detection by excluding malicious tools or directories from antivirus scanning.

Detects the execution of JavaScript files using wscript.exe from user-writable directories (e.g., Temp, Downloads, AppData) that exhibit high levels of obfuscation. The rule specifically flags scripts containing a high ratio of comment lines to code, a technique often used in the LausivLoader malware family to mask malicious payloads constructed using String.fromCharCode.

Detects the addition of a file path exclusion to Windows Defender via the command-line registry utility (reg.exe), followed immediately by the execution of gpupdate to force a policy refresh. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries to exclude malicious directories from security scanning and ensure the configuration change takes immediate effect.

Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender Tamper Protection via direct Registry modification or by executing PowerShell commands. Disabling Tamper Protection is a common tactic used by adversaries to facilitate further malicious activity, such as impairing security controls or deleting malware artifacts without interference from Windows Defender.

This rule detects the LausivLoader initial-stage obfuscated JavaScript dropper. It identifies the malware either by specific file hashes (MD5/SHA256) or by detecting characteristic behaviors: small file size (<1MB), the presence of 'String.fromCharCode' obfuscation techniques, excessive junk comments, and supply-chain related lure strings.

This rule detects the creation or pushing of a local Git branch where the branch name matches the pattern of a 40-character SHA-1 or 64-character SHA-256 hash. This behavior is indicative of the Plugin4Shell exploitation technique, where attackers create branches named after specific commit SHAs to bypass security checks on self-hosted Git services like Bitbucket by pinning them to unintended commits.

This rule detects multiple distinct methods of modifying, impairing, or disabling Microsoft Defender Antivirus exclusions and tamper protection settings. It identifies suspicious activity through PowerShell commands (Add-MpPreference, Set-MpPreference, Invoke-CimMethod, TamperProtection modification), direct registry modification of Defender exclusion paths, and the use of scheduled tasks to maintain or enforce these changes. The rule flags endpoints where two or more of these distinct techniques are observed in a 24-hour period.

This rule detects the execution of NetSupport Manager related files, specifically 'client32.exe', or the presence of 'NetSupport' or 'Manager.zip' in command lines. NetSupport is a legitimate remote administration tool that is frequently abused by adversaries to maintain persistence and remote control over compromised hosts.

Detects instances where browser extensions, potentially AI-assisted (e.g., Claude, Gemini), trigger automated mail actions (send, forward, summarize) to non-standard, external domains. This behavior may indicate an unauthorized agent attempting to exfiltrate or manipulate email content.

Detects the creation of a Windows service named 'ProcAuditManager', which is associated with the SparroWocky threat. The rule flags the service creation event (Event ID 7045) and identifies if the service description matches the known malicious signature, which attempts to masquerade as a legitimate auditing tool.

This rule detects unauthorized memory modification of ntdll.dll, specifically targeting the EtwEventWrite function, by identifying processes writing to memory regions with execution-permission flags (e.g., PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries attempting to blind Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) telemetry, often following suspicious .NET assembly loading (such as Assembly.Load) typical of malware loaders like LausivLoader.

Detects potential ClickFix-style social engineering attacks where a victim is prompted to execute an encoded PowerShell command (often via copy-paste into a terminal). The rule specifically monitors PowerShell processes initiated by shell environments (explorer.exe, cmd.exe, or WindowsTerminal.exe) that execute encoded, hidden scripts to perform multiple suspicious network requests for files (e.g., .zip, .enc, .bin) from non-standard domains.

Detects the execution of PowerShell with hidden window styles and encoded command arguments initiated directly from explorer.exe. This pattern is often indicative of malicious activity, such as fileless malware execution or obfuscated script delivery, where an attacker attempts to blend in with standard user interactions.

Detects execution of PowerShell commands that exhibit characteristics frequently associated with malicious activity, such as reflective assembly loading, compression/decompression operations, use of specific known obfuscation markers, encoded commands, or execution originating from suspicious parent processes like explorer.exe or cmd.exe.

Detects a suspicious multi-step process injection sequence originating from an obfuscated PowerShell process. The rule identifies PowerShell executing with common obfuscation flags (e.g., -enc, -nop, IEX) and performing multiple API calls (such as NtAllocateVirtualMemoryRemote, NtSetContextThreadRemote, CreateRemoteThread, or OpenProcess) targeting specific executables like csc.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, or SearchIndexer.exe.

This rule detects instances where a process associated with a known StealC command-and-control (C2) IP address subsequently spawns a hidden cmd.exe instance. It correlates network connections to known malicious infrastructure with the creation of hidden command shells within the same device session, specifically looking for common parent processes like web browsers or system utilities.

This rule detects potential exploitation attempts targeting vulnerabilities within the libheif image processing library. It monitors for image processing binaries (e.g., convert, magick) executing with command-line arguments related to HEIF/HEIC files, followed by multiple application crash events (SIGSEGV, coredumps) associated with libheif on the same device within a short time window.
