Detects EDRKiller.exe or WarsawKiller.exe binaries and the associated wsftprm.sys BYOVD driver used by The Gentlemen threat actor to terminate security product processes
This rule detects the execution, file presence, or driver loading associated with 'EDRKiller' and 'WarsawKiller', which are malicious tools used to terminate or disable endpoint security products.
Detects the execution of netscan.exe, a common network scanning tool often used by adversaries to enumerate network resources, hosts, and services within a compromised environment.
Detects DragonForce ransomware behavior where the binary is copied to a staging directory (typically C:\Users\Public\) and subsequently registered as a persistent, one-time execution scheduled task with SYSTEM privileges using COM interfaces or schtasks.exe.
Detects the use of bcdedit.exe to configure the boot environment to start Windows in 'safeboot' mode with networking enabled. Adversaries may use this to bypass security controls that only run in normal boot mode or to facilitate persistent access with minimal system interference.
This rule detects attempts to patch critical Windows functions used for security instrumentation, specifically 'AmsiScanBuffer' within 'amsi.dll' (often for bypassing AMSI) or 'EtwEventWrite' within 'ntdll.dll' (often for disabling ETW logging). This activity is highly indicative of defensive evasion techniques used by malware or malicious actors to hide their behavior from security tools.
Detects memory regions associated with 'ntdll.dll' that are marked with Read, Write, and Execute (RWX) permissions. This pattern is commonly used in process injection techniques, such as reflective DLL injection or shellcode execution, where adversaries prepare executable memory space within a legitimate process to bypass standard security controls.
Detects instances where a process has been elevated on a Windows system, as indicated by specific log messages containing 'Process is elevated' within the command line or image file name fields.
Detects the use of bcdedit.exe to modify the boot configuration to enable Safe Mode with Networking. This is often used by adversaries to bypass security controls or to prepare a system for activities while in a state where many security products may not load or function.
Detects rapid, bulk process termination of critical system, security, database, and office applications using the Windows taskkill.exe utility. This behavior is characteristic of ransomware (such as DragonForce) attempting to release file locks prior to initiating encryption activities.
Detects processes executed with specific command line arguments often associated with malicious tools or malware, such as mutex bypass flags, logging configuration, or arbitrary size parameters that are not related to help or usage documentation.
Detects the use of bcdedit.exe to configure the boot environment to start Windows in 'Safe Mode with Networking'. This behavior is commonly observed as an evasion technique used by threat actors, including Akira ransomware affiliates, to bypass EDR protections during pre-ransomware staging activities.
Detects potential abuse of rundll32.exe to execute commands or functions, particularly those involving references to 'WindowsUpdate.log' or direct execution with ordinal identifiers ('#1'). This rule also monitors file operations involving 'WindowsUpdate.log' initiated by common script interpreters like powershell.exe, cmd.exe, or rundll32.exe, which is often associated with obfuscated techniques to execute malicious payloads or bypass security controls.
Detects unauthorized in-memory memory modifications (specifically writing to memory segments with execute permissions) targeting critical security functions within 'amsi.dll' or 'ntdll.dll', such as 'AmsiScanBuffer' or 'EtwEventWrite'. This activity is characteristic of AMSI/ETW blinding, a technique used by threat actors to disable endpoint security scanning and event tracing capabilities.
This rule detects the use of 'taskkill.exe' to terminate critical services, including security software (MsMpEng.exe), database processes (sql.exe, oracle.exe, sqlservr.exe), and common user applications (outlook.exe, onedrive.exe). This behavior is characteristic of the DragonForce ransomware, which disables protective services and applications before encryption to minimize interference and ensure successful file locking.
Detects high volumes of file rename operations within a short timeframe, which is a behavioral indicator often associated with the encryption process of ransomware such as CRPx0.
Detects the CRPx0 ransomware technique of unhooking ntdll.dll in memory. This is achieved by reading the ntdll.dll file from disk and overwriting the in-memory .text section with a clean, unhooked version to bypass EDR monitoring and execute direct syscalls.
Detects the execution of SoftPerfect Network Scanner (netscan.exe), a tool frequently utilized by threat actors such as Ransom Busters for internal network reconnaissance and host discovery activities prior to lateral movement or data exfiltration.
Detects the modification of boot configuration data (BCD) using bcdedit to enable 'Safe Mode with Networking' on the next reboot. Adversaries, including Akira ransomware affiliates, use this technique to bypass endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions by ensuring they do not start when the system boots in a restricted safe mode.
Detects the creation of a local user account using the hardcoded 'Numlock!123' password, a characteristic artifact associated with Ransom Busters threat group operations. The rule monitors command-line activity from net.exe or net1.exe to identify attempts to add users with this specific, known malicious credential.
Detects the loading of known vulnerable kernel drivers 'truesight.sys' or 'rentdrv2.sys'. These drivers are frequently abused in Bring-Your-Own-Vulnerable-Driver (BYOVD) attack chains, where attackers leverage specific IOCTL calls (such as 0x22E044 or 0x22E010) to interact with the driver to perform privileged actions, such as terminating security processes.
