This rule detects potential data exfiltration attempts over non-standard network ports. It identifies devices that establish more than 5 network sessions to external (non-private IP) destinations on ports other than common ones like 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 21 (FTP), 22 (SSH), 25 (SMTP), 110 (POP3), 143 (IMAP), 993 (IMAPS), and 995 (POP3S) within a one-hour window. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to bypass network monitoring by using less common ports for data transfer.

This rule detects the creation or modification of the '.vscode/extensions.json' file. This file is critical for managing extensions within Visual Studio Code environments. Attackers can exploit modifications to this file, as demonstrated in recent zero-day attacks, to introduce malicious extensions, potentially leading to code execution or other forms of compromise within a developer's environment. The detection focuses on file system events (creation and modification) targeting this specific configuration file.

Detects the staging of the Lucid Stealer hidden self-copy loader and the SQLite CLI helper binary in the Temp directory. This rule specifically looks for file creation events in the user's Temp directory with filenames matching patterns associated with Lucid Stealer's staging activities: 'winupd_*.exe' for its self-copy loader and '_sq3e_*.exe' for its SQLite helper.

Detects the execution of 'update.exe' where the parent process is 'svchost.exe'. This specific process chain is indicative of the MiniFast malware, which uses this technique as an anti-analysis check. Legitimate software updates or scheduled tasks might also use svchost.exe to spawn update.exe, requiring careful tuning to reduce false positives.

Detects outbound network connections initiated by 7-Zip processes. This could indicate compromise of the 7-Zip application, potentially through exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-48095, leading to data exfiltration or command and control communication.

This detection identifies suspicious execution of update.exe processes launched by svchost.exe from user-writable directories such as AppData, Temp, Downloads, and Public folders.

This behavior is associated with malware techniques observed in the MiniFast campaign, where attackers use fake updater binaries and service-based execution chains to evade detection and maintain persistence.

The rule helps detect:

Malicious or fake update.exe execution
Abnormal parent-child process relationship (svchost.exe → update.exe)
Execution from non-standard user directories
Potential malware staging and execution behavior

This detection is intended to identify early-stage malware execution and suspicious process behavior linked to threat actor techniques described in recent threat intelligence reports.

Detects network connections to the specific local port 8738 used by the IronWorm Exodus wallet injection module to exfiltrate stolen seed phrases and passwords. This rule specifically looks for outbound connections from the 'exodus.exe' process to localhost on port 8738.

Detects unusual child processes spawned by 7z.exe or 7zG.exe, which may indicate arbitrary code execution resulting from the CVE-2026-48095 heap buffer overflow. This rule specifically looks for processes initiated by 7-Zip executables, excluding common legitimate child processes like conhost.exe, dllhost.exe, werfault.exe, and 7z.exe itself. The rule can be tuned to be more specific by uncommenting a line to only alert on highly suspicious shells and LOLBINs.

Detects browser processes making DNS queries or network connections to BNB Smart Chain RPC endpoints (and related EVM-compatible chain RPCs). This technique is a signal for EtherHiding-style attacks where malicious JavaScript injected into compromised websites queries smart contracts for payload retrieval. This generalizes beyond ClearFake to catch UNC5342 (North Korean DPRK) and other EtherHiding adopters documented since October 2025.

Detects the specific threat string used by the Miasma/Shai-Hulud malware variant to wipe systems if a stolen token is revoked. This rule looks for the highly unique string 'IfYouInvalidateThisTokenItWillNukeTheComputerOfTheOwner' within process command lines.

This rule detects indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the Red Lamassu (JFMBackdoor) campaign. It identifies malicious file hashes, network communication with known command and control (C2) domains and IP addresses, specific file paths and names used by the malware, and registry modifications for persistence. The rule looks for file events, process creations, network connections, and registry changes that match the defined IOCs.

This rule detects unusual network beaconing activity from processes. It identifies processes that make more than 50 network connections within a 15-minute window to distinct remote IP addresses and ports, excluding common legitimate processes like svchost.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, and explorer.exe. The rule then enriches this information with the last seen time of the process.

Detects the command-line usage of WinGet invoking a configuration file, specifically targeting switches designed for silent, non-interactive execution. Threat actors abuse this capability to execute arbitrary code via YAML files.

Detects the creation of a file on a server system by common network utilities (curl, ftp, powershell, winscp, certutil) within a 5-minute window of a network connection to common ports (21, 22, 80, 443). This could indicate ingress tool transfer or data exfiltration attempts.

This rule detects attempts to modify the Zoom update scheduled task using `schtasks.exe /change`. This activity is indicative of potential scheduled task hijacking, as legitimate Zoom updaters typically do not use this command to modify their own tasks. The detection specifically looks for command lines containing both `/change` and `ZoomUpdateTaskUser-`.

Detects a high volume (10 or more within an hour) of file creations or modifications within the 'Program Files' directory where the filename contains the string 'update'. This could indicate legitimate software updates, but also potentially malicious activity attempting to masquerade as an update process, or an application writing to protected directories.

This rule detects an unusual frequency of inventory-related commands being executed on a device within a one-hour window. Specifically, it looks for `tasklist.exe`, `wmic.exe`, or `Get-HotFix` being run 5 or more times in an hour. This behavior can indicate an adversary performing system information discovery.

This rule detects when five or more driver-related files (.inf, .sys, or .drv) are created or modified within a one-hour window by the same initiating process account. This behavior can be indicative of malicious driver installation, rootkit activity, or other forms of persistence or privilege escalation.

Detects the creation of files containing keywords such as 'vulnerability', 'assessment', or 'scan'. This rule aims to identify activities related to vulnerability scanning or security assessments being performed on a system, potentially indicating reconnaissance or unauthorized activity. The events are summarized by the initiating process account name and time to help identify the source of these activities.

Detects the execution of common security scanning executables such as Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) and generic 'scan.exe'. This rule counts the occurrences of these executions per device per hour, which can indicate legitimate security operations or potential adversary activity if used for discovery or defense evasion.
