Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe initiated by command shells where the task command points to files residing in non-standard or user-writable directories such as \Users\Public\, \PerfLogs\, or \ProgramData\. This pattern is frequently utilized by malware loaders like SocGholish, GootLoader, and various ransomware strains to achieve persistence following initial compromise.

This rule detects potential unauthorized use of MeshAgent RMM software by correlating process execution events (mvtcs.exe, MeshAgent) with network traffic to specific IP addresses identified as associated with Settra command-and-control infrastructure. It specifically filters for MeshAgent activity and validates the threat by requiring an established network connection to known malicious endpoints.

This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events occurring on a host within a 600-second window: the modification of the Windows Trusted Root Certificate store (via certutil or registry manipulation) followed by the writing of a new executable file. This behavior is indicative of an adversary establishing persistence or preparing to bypass security controls by installing a malicious CA certificate and dropping a packed binary.

This rule detects instances where the Terraform CLI tool connects to suspected lookalike domains associated with supply chain compromise attempts (e.g., hashicorp-aws[.]com or hashicorp-terraform[.]io) during common initialization or application workflows. It correlates process execution with network connection logs and optionally validates the presence of a related .terraform.lock.hcl file associated with the malicious origin.

The following analytic detects executable file formats being created within the Confluence main directory.
This can be indicative of exploitation of the Confluence web services to stage malware.
This won't catch adversaries who modify the output location outside the Confluence directory when exploiting.

This rule detects the execution of RUSTYMOVE, a tool associated with the Transparent Tribe (APT36) threat group, which is used for propagation via removable media. It monitors for the specific executable 'Automata-20.exe', the presence of specific task-related command line arguments, the dropping of suspicious file paths, and PowerShell-based enumeration of connected USB/removable drives.

Detects ClickFix-style social engineering attacks where users are lured to 'cloudrobots.cloud' and subsequently execute malicious commands via Windows shell tools (cmd, powershell, mshta, etc.). The rule correlates browser network events to a specific domain, subsequent process launches by explorer.exe, and suspicious registry modifications associated with the Windows RunMRU, which is often abused to store and execute commands pasted by victims.
