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 following analytic detects modifications in the Windows registry to disable Windows Error Reporting (WER) settings. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel, specifically monitoring changes to registry paths related to WER with a value set to "0x00000001". This activity is significant as adversaries may disable WER to suppress error notifications, hiding the presence of malicious activities. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to operate undetected, potentially leading to prolonged persistence and further exploitation within the environment.

The following analytic detects a modification to the Windows registry setting "LongPathsEnabled," which allows file paths longer than 260 characters. This detection leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel, focusing on changes to the specific registry path and value. This activity is significant because adversaries, including malware like BlackByte, exploit this setting to bypass file path limitations, potentially aiding in evasion techniques. If confirmed malicious, this modification could facilitate the execution of long-path payloads, aiding in persistence and further system compromise.

The following analytic detects modifications to the Windows registry that disable security settings for Terminal Services. It leverages the Endpoint data model, specifically monitoring changes to the registry path associated with Terminal Services security settings. This activity is significant because altering these settings can weaken the security posture of Remote Desktop Services, potentially allowing unauthorized remote access. If confirmed malicious, such modifications could enable attackers to gain persistent remote access to the system, facilitating further exploitation and data exfiltration.

The following analytic detects suspicious modifications to the Windows registry keys related to file compression color and information tips. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, specifically monitoring changes to the "ShowCompColor" and "ShowInfoTip" values under the "Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced" path. This activity is significant as it was observed in the Hermetic Wiper malware, indicating potential malicious intent to alter file attributes and user interface elements. If confirmed malicious, this could signify an attempt to manipulate file visibility and deceive users, potentially aiding in further malicious activities.

Detects instances where the svchost.exe process, specifically hosting the RDP terminal services, initiates outbound network connections to target systems on standard HTTP (TCP port 80) or HTTPS (TCP port 443) ports. This behavior is indicative of RDP tunneling, where RDP traffic is encapsulated within web protocols to bypass network restrictions or evade detection.

Detects a process spawned by the terminal service server process (termsvcs), which could indicate an exploitation attempt of CVE-2019-0708, commonly known as BlueKeep. The rule specifically looks for processes where the parent command line contains both 'svchost.exe' and 'termsvcs', while filtering out legitimate processes like rdpclip.exe, csrss.exe, wininit.exe, and winlogon.exe.

Detects cases where ngrok, a legitimate reverse proxy tool, is used to forward traffic to the local Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) port. This activity can indicate malicious behavior, as adversaries often use tools like ngrok for command and control, bypassing firewalls, or establishing persistent remote access to compromised systems.
