Detects attempts to clear Windows event logs using the wevtutil command-line utility or PowerShell cmdlets (Clear-EventLog, Remove-EventLog). Adversaries often clear event logs to hinder forensic investigations and remove evidence of their malicious activity.

Detects the execution of inline C# code compilation, often used by malware like Remcos RAT, when initiated by PowerShell or a process with 'Remcos' in its parent's filename. This rule specifically looks for command-line arguments indicative of C# compilation (csc.exe, csc.compiler, CodeCompile, CompileAssemblyFromSource) in conjunction with suspicious initiating processes.

Identifies execution of the Windows PowerShell cradle used by GLASSWORM's WASM loader. It looks for 'irm' (Invoke-RestMethod) fetching a URL containing the specific '/win32/i/_' path structure, piped to 'iex' (Invoke-Expression). This pattern is indicative of the GLASSWORM malware's initial payload delivery mechanism.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using 'schtasks.exe' with command line arguments that indicate suspicious activity. This includes tasks created in common temporary or user-writable directories, or tasks that involve PowerShell with encoded commands or obfuscated strings, which are often used by adversaries for persistence or execution.

Detects PowerShell execution patterns used for host reconnaissance and application enumeration, specifically looking for combinations of Get-StartApps and Get-AppxPackage with silent error handling. This behavior was observed in the easy-day-js malware dropped via the Mastra npm supply chain compromise.

This rule detects the execution of PowerShell commands or script blocks that contain specific de-obfuscation patterns associated with the ErrTraffic/ClickFix malware. It looks for the presence of '-bxor' and '[convert]::ToInt32' within PowerShell command lines or script blocks, indicating an attempt to decode obfuscated content.

Detects the use of wmic.exe or powershell.exe by common scripting interpreters (python.exe, chost.exe) to query system information via WMI, specifically targeting hardware identifiers (Win32_ComputerSystem, Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration) or MAC addresses. This behavior is indicative of virtualization or sandbox evasion techniques, where malware attempts to identify if it is running within an analysis environment by checking hardware signatures.

This rule detects PowerShell commands that attempt to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) by using .NET reflection techniques. The detection monitors for common class and method names (e.g., 'AmsiUtils', 'Marshal.WriteInt64') utilized by attackers to disable or tamper with AMSI's memory structures within a running PowerShell process.

Hunts for custom PowerShell RC4 decryption routines utilizing hardcoded byte arrays to unhook AMSI or decode subsequent stages. This rule specifically looks for PowerShell command text containing patterns indicative of byte array assignments (e.g., `]$var = 0x...`) and the `bxor` operator, which is commonly used in RC4 decryption routines.

Detects execution of 'netstat.exe' with specific flags ('-a', '-n', '-o', or '-b') initiated by command-line interpreters like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, wscript.exe, or cscript.exe. These flags are commonly used for network reconnaissance and discovery of active TCP connections, listening ports, and associated process IDs.

This rule detects various activities associated with the SilverFox loader chain, including Defender exclusion modifications, suspicious child processes spawned from trojanized OEM binaries, VirtuOne DLL loading, scheduled task creation with specific names or unusual principals, creation of 'checktime.vbs' in public user directories, and masquerading of 'svchost.exe' in the Windows directory.

Detects attempts to leverage PowerShell to register a loose-file AppX package from a UNC path. This technique can be used to trigger NTLM coercion via InstallService.exe or achieve SYSTEM DLL load, often associated with the 'UNCanny' coercion method. The rule looks for PowerShell command lines containing 'Add-AppxPackage', '-Register', and a UNC path (\\) along with 'AppxManifest.xml'. Additional suspicious indicators like '-ExecutionPolicy Bypass', 'DiscCoerceProbe', 'poc.ps1', 'Invoke-InstallServiceCoerce.ps1', or '-AttackerHost' increase the suspicious score.
