This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'GlobalProtectVPNUpdate' using schtasks.exe, which has been identified as a technique used to facilitate the execution of malicious payloads masquerading as legitimate GlobalProtect VPN components. It also monitors for the subsequent execution of 'GlobalProtect.exe' when initiated by Windows background services like taskeng.exe or svchost.exe, which is indicative of persistence and unauthorized code execution.

This rule monitors security event logs for the presence of a specific file hash identified as potentially malicious (d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e). This hash specifically corresponds to an empty file (MD5 checksum of an empty string), often indicating potential obfuscation techniques, failed file writes, or placeholder files used by malicious scripts.

Detects outbound web requests directed at public NPM mirrors and CDNs (unpkg, npmmirror, yarnpkg, jsdelivr) that contain strings matching known malicious package names associated with the 'Beamglea/ClickFix' campaign. This activity is typically indicative of a victim visiting a deceptive Cloudflare CAPTCHA phishing page designed to execute malicious scripts in the browser.

This rule detects the installation of browser extensions that occur during an idle user session (greater than 7 minutes). This behavior is consistent with automated, remote-driven synthetic input injection, often utilized by malware (e.g., NinjaMare) to install malicious extensions without user consent while the system is unattended.

Detects the execution of 'driverquery.exe' to enumerate information about the 'npf.sys' driver (Network Packet Filter), which is associated with Npcap/WinPcap used for packet capture. The rule specifically monitors when this command is launched by non-standard parent processes like 'report.bin' or 'nw.exe', which may indicate malicious reconnaissance or network monitoring tools.

This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events where a process with a name resembling an updater (AutoUpdate.exe or au.exe) accesses a specific remote configuration file from a herokuapp.com URL, followed by the creation or modification of specific application binaries (e.g., InstaTime.exe, ffmpegsumo.dll). This pattern is indicative of a supply chain compromise or an automated software update hijacking where malicious binaries are staged to replace legitimate application components.

Detects the execution of command interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, WindowsTerminal) spawned by common user-facing applications (Explorer, WindowsTerminal, DLLHost) where the command line arguments contain keywords associated with automated human verification (e.g., CAPTCHA, bot detection) and suspicious download/execution patterns (e.g., iex, base64). This behavior is characteristic of malicious automated scripts or malware attempting to bypass security challenges via interactive shells.

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.

Detects access to the SAM registry hive or SAM-related LSA control keys initiated by a process associated with the Avast Sandbox component rather than LSASS or an administrative security tool. The PrettyPrague PoC abuses a vulnerability in Avast Sandbox to dump the SAM database and spawn a SYSTEM shell, so SAM hive reads originating from the sandbox component itself are anomalous.

This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the manipulation of Windows services using 'sc.exe' to stop or delete services, combined with the forceful termination of 'svchost.exe' processes via 'wmic.exe'. This pattern is often associated with adversaries attempting to disable security tools, logging agents, or other defensive mechanisms on an endpoint.

This rule detects the execution of powershell.exe with command-line arguments that utilize 'curl' to download a file from a specific remote IP address (103.86.86.244). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries using built-in Windows tools or redirected utilities to perform ingress tool transfer as part of a malicious payload delivery.
