Detects suspicious service creation or registry modifications related to wscl.exe that mimic persistence mechanisms.
Detects persistence activities initiated by Postgres-related processes or users involving scheduled tasks and system services.
Detects persistence activities initiated by Postgres-related processes or users involving scheduled tasks and system services.
Detects the execution of common command-line utilities and tools used to enumerate virtual machines, hypervisors, and cloud instance information. Adversaries may perform this reconnaissance to identify virtualization environments, sandbox targets, or cloud infrastructure configurations.
Detects suspicious PowerShell execution spawned by common development tools or shell environments like node, npm, or WSL. The rule evaluates the process lineage and scores the command line arguments for characteristics commonly used by malicious payloads, such as hidden execution, bypass flags, network download activity, or temporary file access, which are indicative of software supply chain attacks or automated malicious script execution.
Detects Adblock.dll used by Docro Hijacker to bypass Chrome Secure Preferences HMAC-SHA256 integrity checks and register infected browser UUID via vendralo[.]info
TeamViewer_Desktop.exe is create during install
Adversaries may manipulate accounts to maintain access to victim systems.
Account manipulation may consist of any action that preserves adversary access to a compromised account, such as modifying credentials or permission groups

Detect malicious GPO modifications can be used to implement many other malicious behaviors.
Detects technique used by MAZE ransomware to enumerate directories using Powershell
Adversaries may abuse the Windows command shell for execution.
The Windows command shell ([cmd](https://attack.mitre.org/software/S0106)) is the primary command prompt on Windows systems.
The Windows command prompt can be used to control almost any aspect of a system, with various permission levels required for different subsets of commands.
Batch files (ex: .bat or .cmd) also provide the shell with a list of sequential commands to run, as well as normal scripting operations such as conditionals and loops.
Common uses of batch files include long or repetitive tasks, or the need to run the same set of commands on multiple system

Detects inline execution of PowerShell code from a file
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 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 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.
