Detects command-line execution patterns indicative of OpnKey ransomware host fingerprinting. The ransomware gathers system metadata, including system IDs, PC hostnames, domain information, Windows versions, and processor names, likely to profile the environment prior to encryption or exfiltration.

Detects usage of the Windows API function GetUserObjectInformationW to inspect the current window station for specific strings, such as 'Service-0x'. This technique is often used by malware for environmental awareness, specifically to detect if it is running within a virtual machine or analysis sandbox by checking window station object attributes.

Detects the presence of OpnKey ransomware-specific configuration strings related to size-tiered file encryption settings in process command lines. These indicators suggest the execution of a binary with hardcoded logic to categorize files for encryption based on their size.

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).

Detects access to Firefox profile database files (cookies.sqlite, places.sqlite, permissions.sqlite) by suspicious processes that are masquerading as legitimate system maintenance or update utilities. This rule specifically targets known masquerading process names (UpdateAssistant.exe, AppUpdateHelper.exe, SysMaintenance.exe) while excluding the legitimate firefox.exe process and its installation directory.

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 the creation of a shortcut file (.lnk) in the Windows Startup directory by the 'UpdateAssistant.exe' process. The rule specifically looks for evidence of a masquerading attempt where the shortcut appears to be an application update helper but potentially references or exhibits characteristics of being linked to a notepad execution, suggesting persistence via shortcut file manipulation.

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 potentially malicious keylogging activity by identifying binaries named UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe that import keylogging-related APIs (GetAsyncKeyState/GetKeyboardState). To minimize false positives, the rule correlates these findings with suspicious metadata such as unsigned binaries, untrusted signers, or execution from non-standard directories like AppData subfolders or Temp.

Detects the presence of known artifacts associated with the GreenSection proof-of-concept exploit, including the source code file 'GreenSection.cpp', a specific driver crash dump 'nvoglv64.dmp', and a associated unique GUID. These files are indicators that an actor has staged exploit materials on the system.

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.
