Detects attempts to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in PowerShell processes. This is achieved by monitoring command-line arguments for keywords associated with memory patching or reflection techniques, such as modifying AmsiScanBuffer, AmsiUtils, or interacting with amsi.dll to neutralize security scanning.

This rule detects the use of PowerShell or Command Prompt to execute commands related to Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software or remote management tools such as IDrive or TeamViewer. It specifically looks for command-line arguments involving RMM-related keywords combined with execution flags or piping operators, which is a common pattern for automating the deployment, configuration, or malicious use of these remote access tools.

Detects instances of PowerShell being launched directly by explorer.exe. This activity is a known indicator of 'ClickFix' or similar social engineering campaigns, where users are instructed by a deceptive website or lure to copy and paste malicious PowerShell commands into the Windows Run dialog or the File Explorer address bar to execute code.
