This rule detects potential reflective code injection or in-memory loading (fileless) where a DLL or PE image is loaded by mshta.exe or powershell.exe, but the module load event lacks a valid file path on disk (or indicates a device path). This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious payloads such as the Amatera loader, where payloads are executed directly in memory to evade file-based security detections.

This rule detects potentially malicious command-line activity involving powershell.exe or mshta.exe that is initiated by a web browser process (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe, or iexplore.exe). It monitors for indicators such as encoded commands, usage of Invoke-Expression, download cradles, hidden window flags, and specific known IOCs, correlating these events with recent browser activity to identify potential drive-by download or browser-based exploitation attempts.

This rule detects network connections or DNS queries to known phishing domains (typosquatted Microsoft login domains), DeadDrop Resolver domains, and suspicious HTML payloads served from common CDN/package hosting sites (e.g., unpkg.com, npmmirror.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net, yarnpkg.com). These patterns are indicative of initial access attempts via phishing or the secondary stage of malware C2 communication.

Detects anomalous outbound network connections from the Grafana MCP (Model Context Protocol) server process to internal private IP address ranges. The rule compares current network activity against a 14-day baseline to filter out known data sources, identifying potentially unauthorized lateral movement or internal network probing via server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities.

This rule detects the use of the LockAppHost process to execute suspicious commands associated with tampering with security configurations, including Windows Defender settings, service management (sc.exe), and task scheduling. Adversaries may abuse this process to bypass security controls, disable real-time monitoring, or maintain persistence.

This rule detects instances where LockAppHost.exe or a variation of it (likely used as a proxy) initiates processes or command-line arguments that interact with Windows services, scheduled tasks, or Windows Defender configurations. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to disable security features, suppress Windows updates, or manipulate system services to evade detection.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.

Detects suspicious executions of 'nslookup.exe' and 'svchost.exe' when triggered by the Windows LockAppHost process. This pattern is indicative of potential process injection or masquerading attempts by malicious actors using legitimate system processes as proxies for unauthorized activity.

This rule detects potential cryptocurrency mining activity where known miner executables (specifically XMRig) or malicious scripts/processes are masquerading as or being spawned by 'LockAppHost.exe' or 'LockAppHost14a02b.exe'. It also monitors for subsequent attempts by these processes to terminate security-related tasks or establish persistence via registry run keys.

Detects unauthorized processes (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe, node.exe) accessing sensitive web browser files like 'Login Data' or 'Cookies' in common browser directories. This behavior is indicative of credential theft or data exfiltration attempts.

Detects when a Node.js process initiates a low-level keyboard hook (WH_KEYBOARD_LL or WH_KEYBOARD) while running from common user-writable directories, which may indicate malicious keylogging activity by a suspicious process.

This rule detects the presence of 'winpty-agent.exe' or 'winpty.dll' in proximity to 'node.zip' or 'build.zip' files within common user-writable or temporary directories ('AppData\Local\Temp', 'AppData\Roaming', 'ProgramData', 'Users\Public'). This pattern is often associated with the staging and execution of malicious tools or command-line wrappers in non-standard locations, bypassing legitimate application installation directories.

Detects the execution of node.exe or electron.exe with command-line arguments indicative of browser automation (e.g., launching headless browsers, cookie access) when executed from high-risk, writable directories like AppData\Temp, AppData\Roaming, ProgramData, or Users\Public. This behavior is frequently associated with information-stealing malware or unauthorized browser automation.

Detects Node.js or related helper processes executing shell commands (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or other processes where the execution involves the 'withCreateProcessUser' argument. This often indicates attempts to bypass execution restrictions or run malicious payloads by utilizing Node.js as an execution proxy within unconventional or temporary directories.

Detects Terraform processes (init or apply) executed in conjunction with suspicious post-deployment indicators, such as references to '.terraform' folders, execution of automation scripts like 'dlp.sh' or 'dlp-docker.sh', or access to sensitive telemetry data external to typical infrastructure management.

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious access to sensitive configuration and credential files (e.g., .aws, .azure, .ssh) by specific DLP (Data Loss Prevention) or automation scripts, and identifies subsequent attempts to expose environment variables or sensitive tokens within process command lines.

Detects network activity from infrastructure provisioner tools (Terraform, Coder) or shell processes attempting to connect to suspicious domains (e.g., coder-infra.com) that resemble legitimate infrastructure domains. This activity is indicative of credential theft, specifically targeting OIDC tokens, SSH keys, or authentication tokens during automated provisioning processes.

Detects nm_host.exe (PEEP native messaging host binary) spawned by Chrome/Edge, tightened to require either the known PEEP extension ID in the native-messaging invocation command line or the distinctive com.peep.lab host path.
