The following analytic identifies the execution of RAR utilities to archive files on a system. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names, GUIDs, and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as threat actors, including red-teamers and malware like DarkGate, use RAR archiving to compress and exfiltrate collected data from compromised hosts. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to the unauthorized transfer of sensitive information to command and control servers, posing a severe risk to data confidentiality and integrity.

Detects attempts to delete Internet Information Services (IIS) log files via command line utilities, which is a common defense evasion technique used by attackers to cover their tracks. Threat actors often abuse vulnerabilities in web applications hosted on IIS servers to gain initial access and later delete IIS logs to evade detection.

Detects the execution of `cmd.exe` originating from common web server processes (w3wp.exe, httpd.exe, tomcat.exe) with command-line arguments indicative of a webshell. This rule specifically looks for `cmd.exe /c` invocations where the command is not one of the common benign commands used by web servers, aiming to catch malicious command execution through a webshell.

This rule detects attempts to exploit CVE-2025-49706 in SharePoint by observing POST requests to a vulnerable aspx path, which could result in code execution or server compromise. Specifically, it looks for HTTP POST requests to URLs containing '/_layouts/1(5|6)/ToolPane.aspx' and 'DisplayMode=Edit' and 'a=/ToolPane.aspx', combined with a referrer URL ending in '/_layouts/1(5|6)/signout.aspx'. This combination of indicators suggests an attempt to leverage the vulnerability for unauthorized access or code execution.

This analytic identifies instances where a shell (PowerShell.exe or Cmd.exe) is spawned from W3WP.exe, the IIS worker process. This activity is significant as it may indicate webshell activity, often associated with exploitation attempts like those by the HAFNIUM Group on Exchange servers. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to system compromise, data exfiltration, or further lateral movement within the network.
