Detects the execution of known Windows update-related binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe) from non-standard, suspicious locations within AppData directories. This behavior is indicative of masquerading, where an adversary attempts to blend in by using a legitimate process name from an unexpected path.

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell execution that attempts to download files from the internet using the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet. It specifically looks for PowerShell processes launched with hidden and execution policy bypass flags, coupled with specific hardcoded malicious URL patterns associated with a known campaign (NotaFiscal/nfe_valid_access_key_2026_secure).

This rule detects behavior associated with Hidden Virtual Network Computing (HVNC) implants, which allow remote attackers to interact with a hidden desktop session on a compromised host. The rule specifically looks for processes that perform a sequence of sensitive Windows API calls—CreateDesktopA, SetThreadDesktop, BitBlt/GetDIBits (for screen capture), and SendInput (for input simulation)—when originating from suspicious, unsigned, or non-standard file paths, indicating potential malicious use rather than legitimate software.

Detects a specific pattern of PowerShell execution involving the download of files from a remote endpoint using parameters associated with Brazilian tax documents (NotaFiscal) to the Desktop directory, followed by immediate execution. The rule looks for a combination of hidden window style, Invoke-WebRequest, specific URL parameters (dl.php, NFe identifiers), and subsequent Start-Process calls, which is indicative of malware dropper activity.

This rule detects modifications to the security descriptors (ACLs) of sensitive Active Directory objects, specifically targeting additions of powerful rights like GenericAll, GenericWrite, WriteDacl, or ForceChangePassword. Monitoring these changes on privileged objects such as Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, and Domain Controllers is critical for detecting potential privilege escalation or persistence efforts.

Detects suspicious PowerShell execution initiated by explorer.exe containing encoded commands, correlated with concurrent activity in the Windows RunMRU registry key or execution of rundll32.exe referencing 'WindowsUpdate.log'. This pattern is frequently used to mask malicious activity and maintain stealth during fileless execution or persistence operations.

Detects Kerberos AS-REQ events (Event ID 4768) where accounts with Kerberos pre-authentication disabled successfully request an AS-REP ticket. Attackers exploit these accounts by requesting encrypted AS-REP blobs to perform offline password cracking. The rule flags potential enumeration when multiple unique accounts are targeted from the same source within a short timeframe.

The following analytic detects renaming of Windows built-in accounts via Event ID 4781.
It identifies renames targeting accounts with well-known reserved RIDs (500-504): Administrator, Guest, krbtgt, DefaultAccount, and WDAGUtilityAccount, by matching the TargetSid field against the S-1-5-21-*-50[0-4] pattern.
Attackers commonly rename the built-in Administrator account to evade detections that alert on the literal account name, while retaining the full privileges of the RID-500 account.
Renaming Guest, krbtgt, or other reserved accounts is highly unusual in any legitimate environment.

The following analytic detects the creation or modification of adsource.dll or other staging files with the name adsource_*.dll within the SCCM SMS Provider bin directory, consistent with exploitation of CVE-2026-47301.
This abuses a DLL side-loading vulnerability in the Microsoft Configuration Manager SMS Provider component.
An attacker can plant a malicious adsource.dll in the SCCMProvider bin\X64 path, causing the SMS Provider service to load the attacker-controlled library in a privileged context.
The presence of renamed dlls alongside adsource.dll is a strong indicator of the classic DLL hijacking pattern where the legitimate library has been renamed so the malicious replacement can proxy calls to it.
If confirmed malicious, this activity represents a privilege escalation vector that can result in SYSTEM-level code execution on any host running the SCCM SMS Provider role.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity originating from Microsoft Word (WINWORD.EXE). It monitors for two specific patterns: the creation of script files (.bat, .vbs, .cmd) with GUID-based filenames in non-temp directories, and the creation or execution of files matching known malicious hashes associated with the Hookedge malware family.

This rule detects the creation, modification, or renaming of 'ntdll.dll' within a specific directory path matching the pattern 'ShieldCrash_{GUID}'. This pattern is indicative of potential malicious activity, such as the use of NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) for persistence or execution evasion. The rule explicitly excludes known legitimate system processes that may handle DLL files to minimize noise.

Detects suspicious file activity within directories named 'ShieldCrash' followed by a cloud provider registration or placeholder creation event within a 5-minute window. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized software or an adversary attempting to stage data for exfiltration or create persistent storage aliases outside of legitimate cloud client applications.

Detects the eicar_com.zip test archive used by the ShieldCrash PoC (CVE-2026-69414) to trigger Windows Defender's vulnerable scan/read path, only when observed alongside ShieldCrash binary or staging path/context indicators to reduce false positives from routine EICAR AV testing

This rule detects suspicious file operations (creation, modification, or renaming) initiated by MsMpEng.exe (Microsoft Defender Antivirus) involving specific indicators related to ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) or 'ShieldCrash' components. These indicators often suggest tampering attempts or the presence of tools designed to interfere with Defender's security operations by targeting its configuration, staging, or protected storage locations.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity where multiple critical processes (such as database engines or email clients) are terminated in a short time frame, correlated with a high volume of file creation or modification events on the same device. This behavior is indicative of destructive activity, such as ransomware encrypting data stores or disabling defensive software.

Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows security controls, including disabling Windows SmartScreen via registry, bulk removal of Mark-of-the-Web (Zone.Identifier) via scripting, and disabling driver signature enforcement (TestSigning/NoIntegrityChecks) using BCDedit. These actions are indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass security protections to facilitate the execution of untrusted or malicious code.
