Detects the use of the MinHook library to hook CreateThread and spoof the thread start address as AnimateWindow, a technique used by the SparroWocky malware to conceal its true thread origin from security monitoring tools.

Detects the use of 'Localcertificate.zip' and associated PowerShell or certutil commands used to install a rogue root certificate authority into the Windows certificate store. This technique is often used by adversaries to enable TLS interception for credential and session theft.

Detects PowerShell or PowerShell ISE spawned directly from Windows Explorer (explorer.exe, covering both Start-menu launches and the Run dialog abused by ClickFix) whose command line carries a genuine obfuscation/evasion signal - true -EncodedCommand/-e usage, a hidden/minimized window flag, or a remote download cradle (IEX, Invoke-WebRequest, DownloadString, certutil, mshta, etc.) - while excluding invocations that point at an on-disk script file under a standard install path, since ClickFix payloads are inline one-liners rather than references to a local .ps1. Bare -NoProfile/-NoLogo flags no longer trigger alone, since they are common in legitimate automation.

This rule detects potential persistence attempts by monitoring for the execution and service installation commands of specific binaries: cplsupport.exe and wtass.exe. The rule triggers if these files are executed directly, invoked with specific command-line arguments (e.g., '--install'), or used in conjunction with the 'sc.exe' utility to create new services, which is a common technique for establishing persistence or privilege escalation.

This rule monitors DeviceFileEvents for the presence of specific browser extension files on disk known to be associated with malicious campaigns. It utilizes a predefined mapping of extension IDs to names to identify and flag files matching the known malicious browser extensions.

Detects network connections initiated by common web browsers to a specific LinodeObjects domain or any subdomains within the linodeobjects.com infrastructure, which may indicate command and control communication or data exfiltration via legitimate cloud storage providers.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility, a technique often used by the CRPx0 ransomware to establish persistence on a system. The rule specifically monitors for the '/create' command-line argument while excluding common, benign updater processes such as those from Microsoft Edge, Google, and OneDrive.

Detects the presence of the Docro Hijacker browser hijacker component (Adblock.dll) designed to tamper with Chrome's 'Secure Preferences' file. It specifically looks for indicators of HMAC-SHA256 integrity check bypass mechanisms used to force-install malicious browser extensions.

Detects evidence of sandbox or virtualization evasion by identifying discovery commands that query WMI hypervisor classes or common virtual machine hardware strings. This activity is considered a precursor (pre-detonation check) when followed by the execution of encoded PowerShell commands or Python scripts on the same host, which is characteristic of the CRPx0 ClickFix attack chain.

Detects network communication with a known CRPx0 clearnet relay (207.180.29.236:8080) coupled with evidence of local Tor SOCKS5 proxy activity (ports 9050/9150) on the same host, indicating the bridging of traffic to an onion-hosted C2 server.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task intended to run an executable named 'wsc_updata.exe' from a temporary directory, or identifies svchost.exe initiating a process from that location. Such behavior is indicative of potential persistence mechanisms where malicious actors attempt to run code from unauthorized or writable directories under the context of system processes or scheduled tasks.

Detects NSIS installer/archive contents bundling the specific unsigned/renamed UpdateAssistant.exe (aka AppUpdateHelper.exe) payload alongside its associated staged runtime DLLs and known malicious file paths/hashes used as cover noise for DLL sideloading staging

Detects suspected exploitation of CVE-2026-81963, an Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in the Windows Update stack. The rule monitors for the creation of reparse points, junctions, or symbolic links within update staging paths by Windows Update processes, followed by either the spawning of suspicious child processes or unauthorized file writes/renames outside of expected directories, which are indicative of a privileged link-following exploit.

Detects unauthorized processes accessing sensitive web browser files (login data, cookies, local state) from suspicious or non-standard paths. This is a common behavioral pattern for infostealers attempting to exfiltrate user credentials and browser session tokens.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating three distinct indicators: deletion of Volume Shadow Copies (using native Windows utilities), mass file modifications (>100 files in 15 minutes), and the creation or modification of files typically associated with ransom notes. The rule uses an inner join to ensure these events happen within a 30-minute window of each other on the same device.

Detects the silent installation of remote monitoring and management (RMM) software using 'msiexec.exe' initiated by scripting engines (powershell.exe, wscript.exe, or cscript.exe). The rule targets installations occurring in user-writable directories, such as Temp or Downloads, which are common staging locations for malicious droppers, while excluding known legitimate software deployment paths.

Detects potential local privilege escalation via Windows ALPC (Advanced Local Procedure Call) heap-based buffer overflow by identifying a non-SYSTEM Chrome process tree spawning child processes with SYSTEM privileges. The rule specifically monitors for suspicious child binaries or paths characteristic of exploit payloads while excluding legitimate Chrome update and crash handler processes.

Detects the execution of 'bun' during a Node.js package installation process (npm or node). This behavior can be indicative of a supply chain attack where malicious actors attempt to leverage alternative runtimes during the 'preinstall' phase or package installation to execute arbitrary code or bypass security controls typically associated with standard Node.js installations.
