Detects the execution of legitimate .NET framework utilities (Aspnet_compiler.exe, RegAsm.exe, vbc.exe) launched by scripting engines like PowerShell or WScript. This behavior is a known TTP for process hollowing, as seen in Agent Tesla campaigns, where malware injects its code into a trusted process to evade defenses.

This rule detects potential port scanning activity from a single host. It identifies scenarios where a device attempts to connect to a large number of unique remote ports (20 or more) or a large number of unique remote IP addresses (25 or more) within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to discover open ports or active hosts on a network.

Detects modifications to the RubyGems 'operating_system.rb' file, a technique used by APT37's SNAKEDROPPER malware to achieve persistence by hijacking the Ruby interpreter's execution flow. The rule specifically looks for file creation or modification events on the 'operating_system.rb' file within the RubyGems directory structure, while excluding legitimate 'gem install' operations to reduce false positives.

Detects PowerShell launching RegSvcs.exe, a technique used by TA584 to deliver the 'P0WER' variant of XWorm via process hollowing. The 'P0WER' variant of XWorm uses a custom .NET loader that starts RegSvcs.exe in a suspended state, which is a strong indicator of process hollowing. Legitimate use of RegSvcs.exe by developers is possible but uncommon from PowerShell.

This rule detects the creation of suspicious child processes by Microsoft Office applications. This behavior is commonly associated with malicious macros embedded in Office documents or phishing attacks that leverage Office documents to execute arbitrary commands. The rule specifically looks for Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Visio, Access) spawning known suspicious executables like command prompts, PowerShell, script interpreters (wscript, cscript), and various utility tools (mshta, regsvr32, rundll32, certutil, bitsadmin, wmic, schtasks, whoami, net, netsh, nslookup, curl).

This rule detects network connections or email URLs that match a list of known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) associated with Signal-targeted phishing infrastructure and explicit phishing destination domains. These IOCs were identified in Unit 42's research on QR code attack vectors. The rule queries email URL information, URL click events, device network events, and common security logs (proxy/firewall/WAF) to identify activity related to these malicious domains.

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 the execution of PsExec or similar tools (psexec.exe, psexec64.exe, paexec.exe) which are commonly used for lateral movement within a network. It also identifies the use of PsExec service (psexesvc.exe) or command-line arguments indicative of PsExec activity, such as accessing administrative shares (ADMIN$, C$, IPC$) or the '-accepteula' flag.

This rule detects the presence of hardcoded tokens associated with the dYdX supply chain attack. These tokens were used for C2 authentication and as an API key for data exfiltration. The rule searches across process command lines, network URLs, network headers, and common security logs for these specific tokens.

This rule detects attempts to bypass User Account Control (UAC) by monitoring modifications or creations of specific registry keys. Adversaries often manipulate these registry keys to achieve privilege escalation without triggering a UAC prompt, allowing them to execute malicious code with elevated permissions. The rule specifically looks for changes to registry paths commonly abused in UAC bypass techniques, such as those related to ms-settings, mscfile, Environment\UserInitMprLogonScript, exefile, Folder, and Image File Execution Options.

This rule detects the behavioral pattern of the dYdX RAT, which executes Python scripts from temporary directories with suppressed output. It looks for Python processes (identified by original filename) executing from common temporary directories while also suppressing output (e.g., redirecting to /dev/null or using CREATE_NO_WINDOW).

This rule detects suspicious entries in the RunMRU (Most Recently Used) registry key that indicate potential persistence mechanisms. It specifically looks for entries containing DNS-related tools (like nslookup, dig, host), other common system utilities (ping, tracert, ipconfig, powershell, cmd.exe, wmic, curl, wget, certutil, bitsadmin), or suspicious flags commonly associated with obfuscated or malicious commands (e.g., base64 encoding, web requests, common sensitive paths). The rule also correlates these registry modifications with subsequent process creations to confirm execution.
