Detects modifications to Windows Defender exclusion settings by monitoring both PowerShell command lines containing 'Set-MpPreference' with 'ExclusionPath' and direct Registry modifications to the Defender exclusions key. Threat actors commonly use these techniques to bypass security scanning for malicious files or tools placed in the 'C:\ProgramData' directory.

Detects potential User Account Control (UAC) bypass attempts using the PowerShell 'Start-Process' cmdlet with the 'runAs' verb, which requests administrative privileges for a new process. The rule also includes a specific check for command-line artifacts associated with the 'wipe32' malware campaign, which utilizes this method for privilege escalation.
