Detects the creation of PowerShell or batch scripts within the C:\ProgramData directory, which is a common location abused by malware for payload staging and persistence. The rule specifically looks for file creation events where the initiating process is cmd.exe or powershell.exe and the file extension is either .ps1 or .bat.

This rule detects high-volume data exfiltration attempts over common HTTPS ports (443 or 8443). It identifies network connections where more than 1MB of data is sent in a single connection, then aggregates these connections over one-hour intervals per device and remote IP. Finally, it flags any device that has sent a total of 50MB or more within that hour to a specific remote IP, indicating potential data exfiltration to a command and control server.

This rule detects a single process creating a large number of files with diverse file types within a short time frame (5 minutes). This behavior can be indicative of malicious activity such as ransomware encrypting files, data staging for exfiltration, or malware dropping multiple components.

001
Detects suspicious file downloads from the internet where common DLLs (wininet.dll, urlmon.dll, msxml3.dll) are initiating the file creation of executable, DLL, PowerShell, or batch files. The rule specifically looks for scenarios where 5 or more such files are created by the same initiating process on a device, indicating potential malicious activity like ingress tool transfer.

001
This rule detects a high volume of network share connections (SMB/CIFS) from a single device to multiple remote IPs within a short timeframe. This behavior can be indicative of ransomware attempting to encrypt files across network shares, or other forms of rapid lateral movement and data access. The rule specifically looks for connections on ports 445 or 139 initiated by common user or system processes like explorer.exe, cmd.exe, or powershell.exe.

This rule detects suspicious file renaming activities indicative of ransomware. It specifically looks for files that previously had common document extensions (.doc, .xls, .ppt) being renamed to extensions commonly associated with encryption by ransomware (.encrypted, .locked, .crypted, .ecc). The rule triggers if 20 or more such renames occur within a 5-minute window on a single device.

001
This rule detects a multi-stage attack chain associated with the Nimbus RAT, starting with a suspicious Microsoft Teams message (vishing) from an external sender using throwaway domains (e.g., .onmicrosoft.com, .top). This initial communication is then correlated with subsequent reconnaissance activities performed via Quick Assist, where QuickAssist.exe spawns cmd.exe to execute commands like 'net time', '/domain', 'whoami', 'ipconfig', or 'systeminfo' on the victim's device within a two-hour window. The rule aims to identify the internal victim and the external sender involved in this coordinated attack.

This rule detects the creation of specific configuration files (`setup.exe.config` or `updateconfig.xml`) that are associated with AppDomain Hijacking techniques used by the Nimbus Manticore threat actor. This activity indicates an attempt to manipulate application configuration to execute malicious code.

This rule detects PowerShell execution that combines 'irm' (Invoke-RestMethod) or 'Invoke-RestMethod' with 'iex' (Invoke-Expression) or 'Invoke-Expression'. This pattern is commonly used as a download cradle to fetch and execute malicious scripts or stage-2 infostealers, as observed in campaigns like the fake Gemini CLI installation script.

Detects registry changes affecting DisableRestrictedAdmin, specifically when it is set to '00000000' (disabled). This modification could weaken authentication protections or facilitate credential theft techniques by allowing the use of cached credentials for remote connections.

Detects rundll32.exe or dllhost.exe performing remote thread injection into web browser processes (chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe). This activity is often associated with defense evasion and credential theft staging, as observed in campaigns like ClearFake/ClickFix, before a full Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is established.

This rule detects outbound network connections from devices to IP addresses identified as malicious by a threat intelligence feed. It joins device network events with threat intelligence indicators, specifically looking for successful connections or connection requests to IPs with a confidence score greater than 50. The alert provides details about the device, the remote IP, the initiating process, and the threat intelligence context.

This rule detects suspicious process creation events where Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) are the initiating process, but the created process is not another Office application. Instead, the created process is a command-line interpreter or scripting host like PowerShell, cmd.exe, cscript, wscript, or mshta. This behavior is often indicative of initial access techniques involving malicious Office documents that execute scripts or commands.
