Detects the use of the 'Add-MpPreference' PowerShell cmdlet with the '-ExclusionPath' parameter, which is used to add file, folder, or extension exclusions to Microsoft Defender. Attackers frequently use this technique to prevent security software from scanning or detecting malicious files or directories.

Detects unauthorized access or file creation events targeting the 'tdata' directory, which stores local Telegram session and authentication data. The rule triggers when processes other than legitimate Telegram or system file explorers interact with these files, a common technique for session theft and account takeover.

This rule detects potentially malicious behavior involving the Python interpreter spawning command-line shells (cmd.exe or powershell.exe), or interactions (creation/modification) with a specific file at 'C:\ProgramData\ur.txt'. This behavior is often associated with post-exploitation activities, staging, or script-based execution of malicious payloads.

Detects the MovieReaper Stage-3 module which masquerades as Microsoft Edge (msedge.exe) within the C:\ProgramData\Windows\Telemetry directory. The detection focuses on suspicious process execution from this directory and identifies instances where the process respawns itself, suggesting malicious activity post-UAC bypass.

This rule detects processes manually resolving API function addresses by traversing the Process Environment Block (PEB) Ldr structure or parsing module export tables. This technique is often used by malicious code to resolve Windows API functions dynamically without relying on standard LoadLibrary or GetProcAddress calls, effectively evading common API-hooking based monitoring.

This rule detects potential credential dumping attempts targeting the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process. It identifies suspicious file execution based on a blocklist of known credential dumping utility hashes, unauthorized OpenProcess calls to lsass.exe with specific access rights, and the creation of process memory dump files (e.g., .dmp, .dump) correlated with an lsass.exe access event.

This query provides high-fidelity, post-exploitation hunting for CVE-2026-69730 by catching unauthorized child processes spawned from the Windows DNS Server engine (dns.exe).

Because dns.exe runs natively as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and almost never executes external binaries during normal operations, filtering out known OS noise (conhost.exe and werfault.exe) flags potential RCE breakouts and privilege escalation with near-zero false positives.

This rule detects the use of the 'Add-MpPreference' PowerShell cmdlet with the '-ExclusionPath' argument to add specific file or directory paths to Microsoft Defender's exclusion list. This behavior is a common technique used by adversaries to bypass security controls by ensuring malicious tools or scripts are not scanned by Windows Defender. The rule specifically alerts on exclusions related to common staging areas or specific tools such as Telegram Desktop, SSH cache folders, and package management directories.

Detects the use of PowerShell's 'WriteAllBytes' method to write a file to the user's Local AppData Temp directory, immediately followed by the creation of a known or suspicious executable file in that same location. This pattern is commonly indicative of a stage in a fileless-style malware attack or automated payload delivery.

This rule monitors for outbound TCP traffic from internal hosts to a specific IP address (212.34.141.103) on port 4521, which is associated with C2 beaconing behavior, potentially involving the abuse of MSBuild.exe as a LOLBin.

This rule detects two suspicious activities: first, the execution of 'conhost.exe' with a headless command line argument containing 'cmd /c echo' and either a '.tmp' file reference or a suspicious base64-like encoded string, initiated by explorer.exe or cmd.exe. Second, it identifies the presence of '.lnk' shortcut files within common user-writable directories such as Downloads, Desktop, or Public folders, which is a common indicator of staging or persistence.

This rule monitors process creation events for suspicious activity, specifically detecting two patterns: 1) The creation of a scheduled task named 'OneDrive KeepAlive' using schtasks.exe, which is indicative of persistence mechanisms masquerading as legitimate software, and 2) Execution of the 'taskhostw.exe' binary with command-line arguments 'exec' and 'hide', which is a common indicator of the NirCmd utility being renamed and used for stealthy execution.

Detects instances where Windows Terminal (WindowsTerminal.exe) is launched by Explorer and immediately spawns a shell process (PowerShell, PWSH, or CMD), specifically excluding devices that have recorded recent RunMRU registry history. This pattern may indicate suspicious or non-interactive execution by an adversary attempting to bypass traditional shell history tracking.

Detects instances where a process named 'updater.exe' launches another process also named 'updater.exe'. This pattern can indicate suspicious activity where a legitimate updater process is being misused or abused to spawn additional malicious code or side-load components.

This rule monitors for PowerShell commands that combine common data collection flags ('-Recurse', 'Documents') with 'Invoke-WebRequest' to perform a POST method upload. This pattern is commonly associated with the staging and exfiltration of sensitive files from local directories to a remote destination via HTTP/S.

Detects the execution of the Windows binary InstallUtil.exe using specific flags (/logfile=, /LogToConsole=false, and /U) commonly used to execute arbitrary .NET code while bypassing application control mechanisms such as AppLocker or Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC).
