This query identifies devices that have specific software installed, enriching this information with device details like OS, exposure level, and internet-facing status. This is useful for asset inventory and identifying potentially exposed endpoints, especially when vulnerability information might not be immediately available through other means. The current rule is configured to detect "Acronis Cyber Protect" software.

This rule detects PowerShell commands used to encode data (like hostnames) into hexadecimal strings and exfiltrate it via DNS queries to known Out-of-Band Application Security Testing (OAST) domains. This technique is used by attackers to bypass egress filtering and confirm system compromise, as seen in the exploitation of CVE-2026-1731.

Detects the creation of a hard link using mklink.exe, where the source is in C:\ProgramData and the destination is an executable in a user's AppData or Temp directory. This technique was observed in an APT36 campaign to stage and execute payloads while evading path-based detections.

Detects the creation of files within hidden folders on removable media that are designed to mimic the Windows Recycle Bin ($RECYCLE.BIN or $RECYCLE.BIN.USER). This technique is used by APT37's THUMBSBD and VIRUSTASK malware to stage malicious files (.rb, .dat) for bridging air-gapped networks.

Detects the presence of malicious Chrome extensions associated with the 10xprofit affiliate hijacking campaign. These extensions are installed as folders with the extension ID as the name in the user's browser profile directory. The rule identifies file events in common browser extension paths for Chrome and Edge, extracts the extension ID, and checks if it matches a known list of malicious IDs.

Detects the deletion of the RunMRU registry key and the clearing of the clipboard within a short time window on the same host. This sequence of anti-forensic actions is used by the batch script component of the Dohdoor malware campaign to hide its tracks.

Detects the execution of AutoIt3.exe (or renamed versions) from non-standard paths or with suspicious script extensions, which is indicative of CastleLoader activity. This rule specifically looks for AutoIt interpreter execution, including renamed files with .pif or .com extensions, originating from common temporary or user-writable directories like AppData or Temp, and executing suspicious script file extensions such as .a3x, .t, or .vstm, or very short command lines.

This rule detects potential C2 beaconing behavior by identifying devices that make a high number of periodic outbound connections (20 or more within an hour) to a single external IP address on common web and C2-related ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443, 4444, 5555, 8888, 9001). The rule summarizes these connections by device, remote IP, and initiating process, highlighting sustained communication patterns indicative of command and control.

Detects a sequence where a service terminates unexpectedly, followed immediately by a process creation from the Service Control Manager (services.exe). This pattern can indicate that a service's recovery options have been configured to run a malicious program upon failure.

This rule detects phishing attempts related to a Booking.com campaign. It identifies suspicious URLs containing 'op_token' or 'tpo_token' parameters, often combined with paths like 'complaint' or 'reserv', on non-Booking.com domains. It specifically looks for punycode domains (e.g., 'xn--*'), lookalike domains (e.g., '*booklng*', '*mgmnt*', '*portal*'), and specific high-signal punycode domains identified in reports. The rule also includes a pattern for partner kit redirect URLs with 'tpo_token' on 'booklng' subdomains. Additionally, it suggests looking for specific email patterns from Gmail senders with subjects like 'Automatic reply', 'Availability', or 'Reservation' that contain embedded URLs matching 'complaint?op_token='.

Detects two persistence techniques used by EncystPHP: the creation of backdoored root-level accounts and the injection of SSH keys into user accounts. Specifically, it looks for 'useradd' commands creating accounts with UID 0 and specific generic usernames, and modifications to '.ssh/authorized_keys' files by non-root/non-sshd processes.

This rule identifies various activities associated with the Dohdoor malware campaign, combining multiple detection heuristics into a single result set. It looks for PowerShell executing curl to download batch scripts, copied Windows tools run from shared folders with unusual arguments, suspicious DLL loads from shared folders, and network connections to C2-style domains identified in the campaign.
