This rule detects network connections to known cryptocurrency mining pools or domains associated with cryptocurrency mining activities. It specifically looks for keywords like 'miningpool', 'stratum', 'xmr', 'ethash', 'moneropool' in the remote URL or specific IP addresses like 'connect.moneropool.com' and 'pool.supportxmr.com'. This activity often indicates unauthorized resource hijacking (cryptojacking) on the affected device.

This rule detects suspicious process creation patterns indicative of the MuddyWater (also known as RustyWater) APT group. Specifically, it looks for Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) launching scripting or Living Off The Land Binaries (LOLBins) such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, mshta.exe, rundll32.exe, wscript.exe, or cscript.exe. The detection is further narrowed down by checking if these processes are created in suspicious writable paths like ProgramData, Users\Public, AppData\Roaming, or AppData\Local\Temp. Additionally, the rule includes optional enrichment for known MuddyWater/RustyWater payload names (reddit.exe, art.exe, cloud.exe, nginx.exe), persistence via the Run registry key, and the dropping of a specific staging artifact named 'CertificationKit.ini'.

SharpSuccessor is a .NET-based post-exploitation tool designed to weaponize the BadSuccessor attack discovered by Yuval Gordon (@YuG0rd) from Akamai. It allows a low-privileged user with 'CreateChild' permissions over any Organizational Unit (OU) in an Active Directory domain to escalate privileges to Domain Administrator. This detection rule identifies execution patterns or behavioral indicators linked to SharpSuccessor activity, which may signal privilege escalation attempts in Active Directory environments.

Detects a sequence of events where a Protected Process Light (PPL) security process attempts to load a DLL from a non-standard path and then terminates shortly after. This pattern is a strong indicator of the EDRStartupHinder technique, where a critical system DLL is redirected to an invalid copy, causing the PPL process to fail its integrity check and self-terminate.
