Detects execution or file presence associated with HOOKEDGE/HEADLACE malware. This rule uses a dual-approach: matching known malicious file hashes (SHA256) and monitoring for specific script files (bat, vbs, cmd) following a GUID-formatted naming convention typically used by the HOOKEDGE installer chain.

Detects the creation or modification of Registry values under 'Image File Execution Options' (IFEO) that register a debugger for common administrative or diagnostic tools (e.g., Task Manager, Registry Editor, PowerShell). This technique can be used by malicious actors like XHOPELESS to intercept, block, or hijack the execution of legitimate tools, often to maintain persistence or impair security analysis.

This rule detects the creation of scheduled tasks using names that masquerade as legitimate update services for Microsoft Edge, OneDrive, or Windows. Adversaries often use these names to hide persistence mechanisms within the Task Scheduler to maintain system access.

Detects the clearing of Windows event logs using the native 'wevtutil.exe' command or the PowerShell 'Clear-EventLog' cmdlet. This activity is commonly associated with anti-forensic techniques used by threat actors and wiper malware to obstruct incident response efforts and remove traces of malicious activity.

Detects the loading of compression libraries (such as lzma.dll or 7z.dll) by ERAAgent.exe followed by suspicious process or thread activity (e.g., remote thread creation, memory allocation). This pattern is often associated with the staging and execution of malicious payloads in memory.

This rule monitors for web server exploit attempts (indicated by patterns like JNDI lookups or SQL injection sequences in URI/cookie data) that correlate with a surge in server-side errors (400+ status codes) and subsequent anomalous process creation or outbound network connections from the web server process.

This rule detects potential execution of malicious files from removable media (e.g., USB drives). It monitors for a sequence of events where a removable drive is mounted, a file is subsequently created on that drive, and then that same file is executed within a short time window.

Detects Evil-WinRM / WinRM-fs usage or wsmprovhost.exe-spawned PowerShell tied specifically to bird-agent backdoor artifacts (cplsupport, wtass, config.toml) or encoded/download-cradle command patterns, rather than any WinRM session, reducing noise from routine remote administration.

Detects modifications to the 'metrics_interval' registry value within the 'Software\SynapseAgent' key. This activity suggests configuration changes to the SynapseAgent, which could indicate tampering with agent telemetry or polling frequency.

This rule detects potentially malicious modifications to PostgreSQL configuration files or the creation of new library files (.so or .dll) by the PostgreSQL service process. It also flags when the PostgreSQL service process is initiated with command-line arguments referencing 'shared_preload_libraries', which can be abused to load arbitrary code or malicious extensions into the database engine.

This rule detects the presence of specific file hashes known to be associated with backdoored software builds, specifically related to recent supply chain compromises affecting South Korean software vendors (e.g., HAProxy builds). It monitors device file events, process initiation, and identity logon events to identify systems that have deployed, executed, or been accessed by these malicious binaries.

This rule detects potential bulk data exfiltration by monitoring for high volumes of file access events (FileAccessed, FileRead, FileModified) originating from the 'doc_helper.aspx' file-management web shell. It summarizes activity by device and user account, flagging instances where over 100 unique files are touched within a short timeframe, which is indicative of automated collection and exfiltration activities.

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.

Detects network requests to unpkg.com or npmmirror for 'index.html' files directly under a package path. This behavior deviates from standard package management usage (which typically fetches tarballs or specific JavaScript modules) and is often associated with adversaries using npm packages as hosting infrastructure for phishing landing pages.

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.
