The following analytic detects the execution of "dsquery.exe" with arguments targeting `TrustedDomain` queries directly from the command line. This behavior is identified using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as it often indicates domain trust discovery, a common step in lateral movement or privilege escalation by adversaries. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to map domain trusts, potentially leading to further exploitation and unauthorized access to trusted domains.

The following analytic detects the use of the 'dd' command to overwrite files on a Linux system. It leverages data from Linux Auditd telemetry, focusing on process execution logs that include command-line details. This activity is significant because adversaries often use the 'dd' command to destroy or irreversibly overwrite files, disrupting system availability and services. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to data destruction, making recovery difficult and potentially causing significant operational disruptions.

The following analytic detects suspicious use of the `modprobe` command to unload kernel modules, which may indicate an attempt to disable critical system components or evade detection. The `modprobe` utility manages kernel modules, and unauthorized unloading of modules can disrupt system security features, remove logging capabilities, or conceal malicious activities. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized `modprobe` operations involving module unloading, this analytic helps identify potential tampering with kernel functionality, enabling security teams to investigate and address possible threats to system integrity.

This analytic detects the execution of the 'shred' command on a Linux machine, which is used to overwrite files to make them unrecoverable. It leverages data from Linux Auditd, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because the 'shred' command can be used in destructive attacks, such as those seen in the Industroyer2 malware targeting energy facilities. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to the permanent destruction of critical files, severely impacting system integrity and data availability.

The analytic identifies modifications to the registry path .wav\\OpenWithProgIds, associated with the Snake Malware campaign. This activity is significant because Snake's WerFault.exe uses this registry path to decrypt an encrypted blob containing critical components like the AES key, IV, and paths for its kernel driver and loader. If confirmed malicious, this could allow the attacker to load and execute Snake's kernel driver, leading to potential system compromise and persistent access.

The analytic detects the Java process writing a .jsp file to disk, which may indicate a web shell being deployed. This activity is significant because web shells can provide attackers with remote control over the compromised server, leading to further exploitation. If confirmed malicious, this could allow unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the affected system, posing a severe security risk.

Detects potential OGNL Injection exploitation attempts in JVM-based applications, which could lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). This rule specifically looks for error messages indicating OGNL parsing failures, such as 'org.apache.commons.ognl.OgnlException' or 'ExpressionSyntaxException', which are common indicators when an attacker attempts to inject malicious OGNL expressions. This type of vulnerability has been exploited in high-profile cases like Apache Struts (CVE-2017-5638) and Confluence (CVE-2022-26134).

Detects process execution related exceptions in JVM based applications, which can often indicate Remote Code Execution (RCE) attempts. The rule specifically looks for keywords like 'Cannot run program', 'java.lang.ProcessImpl', and 'java.lang.ProcessBuilder' in application error logs.

This rule detects potential local file read vulnerabilities in JVM-based applications by looking for specific keywords in application error logs. It triggers when a 'FileNotFoundException' occurs in conjunction with path traversal payloads like '/../../..'. This combination suggests an attacker is attempting to read arbitrary files from the system by manipulating input paths, which could lead to sensitive information disclosure.

Detects potential XML External Entity (XXE) exploitation attempts in JVM-based applications by looking for specific XML parsing error keywords in application error logs. These errors, such as 'SAXParseException' and 'DOMException', can indicate that an attacker is trying to manipulate XML input to access local files, perform server-side request forgery (SSRF), or execute other malicious actions. The rule is designed to identify issues where an application expects to work with XML and the parser might not be initialized safely.

This rule detects potential JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) injection exploitation attempts within JVM-based applications. It specifically looks for keywords related to LDAP lookups ('com.sun.jndi.ldap.') and the Log4j JndiManager ('org.apache.logging.log4j.core.net.JndiManager') in application error logs. Such patterns are commonly associated with vulnerabilities like Log4Shell, where attackers inject malicious JNDI lookup strings to achieve remote code execution.

This rule detects the creation of a Java process that is configured for remote debugging, specifically when the debugging interface is bound to an address other than localhost (127.0.0.1 or localhost). This configuration allows external connections to the Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) port, which can be exploited by attackers to gain control over the Java application or the underlying system. The rule looks for the 'transport=dt_socket,address=' string in the command line, combined with the absence of 'address=127.0.0.1' or 'address=localhost'. It also includes a check for older JVM versions ('jre1.' or 'jdk1.') which might be more vulnerable.

Detects potential OGNL Injection exploitation, which may lead to RCE.
OGNL is an expression language that is supported in many JVM based systems.
OGNL Injection is the reason for some high profile RCE's such as Apache Struts (CVE-2017-5638) and Confluence (CVE-2022-26134)

Detects potential local file read vulnerability in JVM based apps.
If the exceptions are caused due to user input and contain path traversal payloads then it's a red flag.
