Detects the transfer of executable or script files to remote administrative shares (ADMIN$, C$, IPC$) between hosts, a behavior frequently observed in SystemBC staging operations and lateral movement activities associated with ransomware actors.
Detects remote enumeration of Windows services via SMB
This rule detects the creation or modification of executable files (.exe or .dll) on hidden Windows administrative shares (e.g., ADMIN$, C$, D$, IPC$), followed by the execution of a process with the same file hash on a different host within a one-hour window. This behavior is indicative of lateral movement using SMB shares to stage and execute malicious payloads.
This rule detects SMB traffic indicative of remote service creation over the SVCCTL named pipe, a pattern characteristic of tools like PsExec used for lateral movement and remote code execution.
Detects network activity characteristic of the PsExec tool performing lateral movement. The rule monitors for SMB traffic directed at the ADMIN$ share, specifically looking for the creation or access of the 'PSEXESVC' service binary, combined with the use of the 'svcctl' named pipe, which is used by PsExec to remotely control services.

This rule detects suspicious SMB traffic targeting raw disk volumes (e.g., PhysicalDrive, C:) or sensitive Windows files such as NTDS.dit and SYSTEM hive files. This behavior is indicative of credential dumping attempts, often performed using tools like secretsdump.py or Invoke-NinjaCopy, which bypass standard file system access controls to exfiltrate critical system credentials.
This rule detects potential lateral movement activity by identifying devices that establish connections to three or more distinct remote IP addresses via SMB/CIFS ports (445 or 139) within a one-hour window. The query excludes internal network ranges (10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x) to focus on connections that may be traversing network boundaries or reaching out to segments that might indicate unauthorized discovery or movement.

Detects bulk file reading from network shares for data collection
Detects bulk file reading from network shares for data collection
Detects SMB NTLM relay attacks used for credential capture and lateral movement
This rule detects network traffic attempting to exploit a Service Registry ACL weakness remotely. Specifically, it looks for TCP traffic on port 445 (SMB) directed to the home network, containing the string "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services" (case-insensitive) in the payload. This string is indicative of an attempt to modify or interact with Windows services via the registry, potentially leveraging weak ACLs to establish persistence or execute malicious code.
Detects data staged on remote network shares prior to exfiltration
Detects large internal data transfers used for staging before exfiltration
This rule detects attempts to remotely disable the Windows Event Log service over SMB (port 445). It specifically looks for TCP traffic to port 445 on the home network, containing the case-insensitive strings "EventLog" and "StopService". This activity is indicative of an attacker trying to hinder forensic analysis or evade detection by stopping logging services.
This rule detects attempts to remotely enumerate Windows Event Logs over SMB. It specifically looks for TCP traffic on port 445 (SMB) where the content includes both "eventlog" and "EvtQuery" (case-insensitive), indicating a query for event log information.
This rule detects outbound Server Message Block (SMB) communications from internal devices to external (non-private) IP addresses. It specifically looks for connections on ports 137, 138, 139, and 445. The rule then aggregates these events over 10-minute intervals and flags devices that have more than 5 such SMB connections to distinct external IPs, indicating potential data exfiltration or unauthorized external communication.
This rule detects network traffic to port 445 (SMB) containing the case-insensitive string "Authentication Packages". This string is often associated with the registration of malicious authentication package DLLs via the Windows Registry, a technique used for persistence and credential access. The rule specifically looks for this content in established TCP connections flowing to the home network.
This rule detects attempts to remotely install Windows services over Server Message Block (SMB). It specifically looks for network traffic on port 445 (SMB) containing the strings "svcctl" and "CreateService" in a case-insensitive manner, indicating a service control request to create a new service. This activity is often associated with adversaries establishing persistence on a compromised system.
This rule detects an unusually high volume of successful network connections over SMB (ports 135, 139, 445) originating from a single account within a one-hour window. This behavior can be indicative of lateral movement, reconnaissance, or data exfiltration activities using SMB/RPC.
