Detects instances where processes other than the legitimate Telegram Desktop application or its updater attempt to access files within the Telegram Desktop 'tdata' directory. This directory contains session information, which can be harvested by malicious actors to hijack user sessions or access sensitive information.

Detects the execution of a binary named 'msedge.exe' from within the 'Windows\Telemetry' directory. This behavior is indicative of the MovieReaper malware attempting to masquerade as the legitimate Microsoft Edge browser to evade detection and maintain persistence.

Detects network activity associated with the HEAVYGRAM PowerShell implant, specifically identifying outbound traffic to the Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.org). The rule looks for established connections and HTTP requests containing Telegram bot-specific URI patterns ('/bot', '/getUpdates') coupled with a 'WindowsPowerShell' user agent, indicating an automated beaconing mechanism used for command and control.

Detects network communication to known MovieReaper C2 infrastructure (deadhub.org or 193.23.118.155) originating from a masqueraded 'msedge.exe' process located in 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Telemetry\', indicating potential C2 check-ins or data exfiltration by the file manager module.

Detects the use of the undocumented NTAPI function EtwpCreateEtwThread within a thread creation call trace. This function is often abused by shellcode loaders to execute malicious code within a target process while attempting to evade standard EDR detection mechanisms.

Detects the execution of the MovieReaper malware loader, which masquerades as 'msedge.exe' within the 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Telemetry\' directory. This technique is used to bypass anti-sandbox checks by respawning as a legitimate-looking process in a persistent location after initial environment analysis is completed.

Detects the execution of suspicious executables spawned from common torrent client applications. This rule monitors for known malicious file hashes or processes launched by torrent clients with suspicious naming patterns typically associated with pirated software or malware masquerading as media files (e.g., tags like 1080p, x264, bluray in executable names).

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender (MpPreference) settings by adding specific directories or files to the exclusion list. This behavior is frequently associated with adversaries attempting to evade security detection by ensuring malicious tools, staged payloads, or persistent files remain unscanned by the antivirus engine.

Detects network communication to Telegram API (api.telegram.org) indicative of HEAVYGRAM malware command and control (C2) beaconing. The rule specifically looks for HTTP POST requests to the /sendMessage endpoint containing a chat ID and the hardcoded 'is online' message string, which is characteristic of this implant's check-in behavior.

Detects artifacts associated with the CRUDEEXCLUDE Delphi-based loader, which is used to deploy the HEAVYGRAM backdoor. The rule identifies a combination of Delphi indicators, anti-analysis sandbox connectivity checks, decoy message boxes, and attempts to modify Windows Defender exclusions for specific paths associated with the malware's activity.

Detects the execution of known malicious loader files associated with the MovieReaper campaign. The rule identifies processes based on specific MD5 hashes, or by detecting obfuscated naming conventions where an executable file is disguised as a movie file by appending excessive padding or specific descriptors to the filename, often used to bypass user suspicion when distributed via torrent repositories.

Detects a suspicious sequence of PowerShell commands associated with HEAVYGRAM-related droppers. The rule identifies processes that attempt to bypass security protections by adding Windows Defender exclusion paths, followed by registry-based persistence mechanisms (Run keys) that target common malicious executables such as RuntimeSSH.exe or winappx.exe.

Detects a suspicious execution chain where wscript.exe spawns an encoded PowerShell process to download files from Vultr Object Storage. The rule specifically monitors for the download of decoy files (e.g., .pptx, .zip) followed by the execution of a file named RuntimeSSH.exe, which is associated with the HEAVYGRAM malware implant.

Detects the initialization of COFF object files within a process memory context, characteristic of the MovieReaper stage-2 implant. This rule identifies the invocation of a 'module_init' exported function, which serves as a common mechanism for executing Beacon Object Files (BOF) or similar in-memory command loading interfaces.

Detects network activity (DNS queries or direct IP communication) associated with 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks targeting users under the guise of an HBO Max update or repair utility. The rule includes indicators for known malicious domains and IP addresses while incorporating filters to minimize false positives from security scanners, threat intel feeds, and automated crawlers by analyzing User-Agent strings and network source addresses.
