Detects svchost.exe spawning a shell process (cmd.exe or powershell.exe) where its parent is not the legitimate services.exe. This behavior is a known technique used by Moonrise RAT to proxy commands and evade detection. The rule further scopes to commands targeting temp or public directories, which are common malware staging areas.

This detection identifies the execution of suspicious shell commands (such as download cradles, reverse shells, or unexpected GUI applications like Calculator) spawned as child processes of the Claude Code CLI ('claude'). This activity is indicative of potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) through the exploitation of malicious hooks in `.claude/settings.json` or malicious MCP server commands, as described in CVE-2025-59536.

This rule detects activity associated with a developer-targeting campaign leveraging malicious Next.js repositories. It identifies suspicious network connections to known Vercel staging domains and C2 IPs/ports/paths, as well as suspicious process execution patterns involving Node.js or VS Code related processes, and file events related to specific repository artifacts or sensitive file access by developer-adjacent processes. The detection logic covers network communication, process execution, and file system activities indicative of this specific threat.

Detects the loading of specific vulnerable drivers ('zam64.sys', 'UpdateCheckerX64.sys') used by ransomware groups like CrazyHunter and Interlock to terminate security products. The query combines multiple data sources to detect different stages of BYOVD activity, including driver file creation, registry entries for service creation, and command-line activity related to driver loading.

Detects non-browser processes making DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) queries to Cloudflare's DNS service. This specific behavior is used by the Dohdoor backdoor to resolve its C2 domains while evading traditional DNS monitoring. The rule specifically looks for connections to Cloudflare's DoH service (1.1.1.1 or cloudflare-dns.com on port 443 with the /dns-query path) from processes that are not common web browsers. The fidelity is significantly increased by the optional check for the 'insomnia' User-Agent, which is characteristic of the Dohdoor malware.

This rule detects suspicious activity related to WebView2 processes interacting with AI webchat domains, potentially indicating covert command and control (C2) proxying or other malicious use. It looks for WebView2 traffic to specific AI domains (Grok, Copilot) originating from unusual parent processes, WebView2 access to Grok with URL parameter-driven prompt execution, and suspicious child process execution (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, calc.exe) where WebView2 is the parent process.
