Detects the execution of known Windows update-related binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe) from non-standard, suspicious locations within AppData directories. This behavior is indicative of masquerading, where an adversary attempts to blend in by using a legitimate process name from an unexpected path.
Detects the execution of known Windows update-related binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe) from non-standard, suspicious locations within AppData directories. This behavior is indicative of masquerading, where an adversary attempts to blend in by using a legitimate process name from an unexpected path.
This rule detects suspicious PowerShell execution that attempts to download files from the internet using the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet. It specifically looks for PowerShell processes launched with hidden and execution policy bypass flags, coupled with specific hardcoded malicious URL patterns associated with a known campaign (NotaFiscal/nfe_valid_access_key_2026_secure).
Detects the creation of specific mutex objects ('AppUpdateHelper' or 'WinSvc') commonly associated with Hidden VNC (hVNC) backdoors. These mutexes are used by the malware to ensure only one instance is running on the host, and the regex pattern targets the specific naming convention (including a hex suffix) utilized by these threats.
Detects instances where the Windows Remote Management host process (wsmprovhost.exe) is associated with the execution of specific suspicious files (config.toml, cplsupport.exe, or wtass.exe) within a short time window. This activity often indicates post-exploitation behavior or remote execution of secondary tools using WinRM.
Detects the creation of specific mutex objects ('AppUpdateHelper' or 'WinSvc') commonly associated with Hidden VNC (hVNC) backdoors. These mutexes are used by the malware to ensure only one instance is running on the host, and the regex pattern targets the specific naming convention (including a hex suffix) utilized by these threats.
Detects the Silver Fox HVNC malware dropper initiating browser instances via the command line to access known malicious C2 domains or infrastructure. The rule specifically monitors for known malicious binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe, AppUpdateHelper.exe, SysMaintenance.exe) launching browsers with suspicious command-line parameters associated with this campaign.
Detects access to Firefox profile database files (cookies.sqlite, places.sqlite, permissions.sqlite) by suspicious processes that are masquerading as legitimate system maintenance or update utilities. This rule specifically targets known masquerading process names (UpdateAssistant.exe, AppUpdateHelper.exe, SysMaintenance.exe) while excluding the legitimate firefox.exe process and its installation directory.
This rule detects behavior associated with Hidden Virtual Network Computing (HVNC) implants, which allow remote attackers to interact with a hidden desktop session on a compromised host. The rule specifically looks for processes that perform a sequence of sensitive Windows API calls—CreateDesktopA, SetThreadDesktop, BitBlt/GetDIBits (for screen capture), and SendInput (for input simulation)—when originating from suspicious, unsigned, or non-standard file paths, indicating potential malicious use rather than legitimate software.
Detects the creation of a shortcut file (.lnk) in the Windows Startup directory by the 'UpdateAssistant.exe' process. The rule specifically looks for evidence of a masquerading attempt where the shortcut appears to be an application update helper but potentially references or exhibits characteristics of being linked to a notepad execution, suggesting persistence via shortcut file manipulation.
This rule detects potentially malicious keylogging activity by identifying binaries named UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe that import keylogging-related APIs (GetAsyncKeyState/GetKeyboardState). To minimize false positives, the rule correlates these findings with suspicious metadata such as unsigned binaries, untrusted signers, or execution from non-standard directories like AppData subfolders or Temp.
Detects uncommon or suspicious child processes spawning from a WSL process. This could indicate an attempt to evade parent/child relationship detections or persistence attempts via cron using WSL.
Detects the creation of PHP files within the 'wp-content/uploads/elementor/forms/' directory of a WordPress installation. This behavior is highly suspicious as it often indicates an attempt by an attacker to deploy a web shell or other malicious script following successful exploitation of the Elementor plugin, which allows for arbitrary file uploads.
Detects the execution of rundll32.exe with a command line pointing to a WebDAV share path (DavWWWRoot). This technique is commonly used to execute remote payloads by forcing the system to access a remote resource, often as part of a malicious DLL loading chain.
Detects attempts by processes to query Windows Registry keys that store configuration data for virtualization software like VMware and Oracle VirtualBox. This behavior is commonly used by malware to detect if it is running within an analysis environment to evade detection.
Detects persistence attempts via the 'BootExecute' registry value hijack and identifies specific file system paths associated with XHOPELESS malware infection markers. This rule alerts on unauthorized modifications to the session manager startup configuration or the presence of known infection indicators.
Detects a process enabling multiple sensitive Windows privileges simultaneously via a single AdjustTokenPrivileges event (Event ID 4703). This behavior is characteristic of malicious tools, such as the XHOPELESS wiper, attempting to gain broad system control for activities like tampering with firmware, killing protected processes, loading malicious drivers, or modifying boot configurations.
This rule detects the execution of arbitrary commands via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) by monitoring process creation events where 'wsl.exe' is the executable. It specifically looks for command lines that include flags like '--exec' or '-e', or common shell commands and downloaders such as 'curl', 'wget', 'bash -c', 'sh -c', 'nc ', or 'ncat '. This activity can indicate an adversary leveraging WSL to execute malicious code or bypass security controls.
Detects instances where the ESET Remote Administrator Agent (ERAAgent.exe) modifies registry keys related to Windows network security settings, such as LSA policies, NullSession pipes/shares, or server/workstation auto-sharing. These settings can be manipulated to weaken Windows security posture, potentially facilitating lateral movement or credential access.
Detects instances where the ESET Remote Administrator Agent (ERAAgent.exe) terminates shortly after loading the Data Protection API service (dpapisvc.dll). This pattern may indicate an attempt to interact with or disrupt DPAPI services, potentially to facilitate credential dumping or sensitive data access.
Detects periodic execution cycles of ERAAgent.exe that involve memory protection changes, characteristic of the SLEEPWALKER malware's XOR-decrypt-execute-reencrypt loop scheduled by a cron-like mechanism.
