Detects attempts to inhibit system recovery by deleting volume shadow copies or modifying backup/boot recovery configurations. The rule monitors for the execution of vssadmin, wmic, wbadmin, and bcdedit with flags known to facilitate system recovery inhibition, often observed as a precursor to ransomware activity.

The rule monitors for the execution of vssadmin, wmic, wbadmin, and bcdedit with flags known to facilitate system recovery inhibition, often observed as a precursor to ransomware activity.
This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the manipulation of Windows services using 'sc.exe' to stop or delete services, combined with the forceful termination of 'svchost.exe' processes via 'wmic.exe'. This pattern is often associated with adversaries attempting to disable security tools, logging agents, or other defensive mechanisms on an endpoint.
This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the manipulation of Windows services using 'sc.exe' to stop or delete services, combined with the forceful termination of 'svchost.exe' processes via 'wmic.exe'. This pattern is often associated with adversaries attempting to disable security tools, logging agents, or other defensive mechanisms on an endpoint.
Detects remote administration activity via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) originating from a host that has no recorded history of performing such actions within the previous 30 days. This includes the use of wmic.exe for remote nodes, Invoke-WmiMethod, or WmiPrvSe.exe spawning common command-line interpreters or utilities.
Detects suspicious service installation patterns involving WmiPrvSE, common in lateral movement techniques.
Detects repeated attempts to delete Volume Shadow Copies using WMIC. This is a common technique used by ransomware and other malware to prevent system recovery and inhibit forensic investigations. The rule filters out known backup agents and service accounts and identifies patterns where multiple distinct deletions occur within a 5-minute window.

Detects attempts to inhibit system recovery by deleting volume shadow copies or modifying backup/boot recovery configurations. The rule monitors for the execution of vssadmin, wmic, wbadmin, and bcdedit with flags known to facilitate system recovery inhibition, often observed as a precursor to ransomware activity.
Detects attempts to install or modify the 'WMI Provider Host' (WmiPrvSE) service, which is a common technique used by adversaries for persistence or to masquerade malicious activity. The rule monitors process execution, registry modifications, and service installation events specifically targeting this service name.
Detects attempts to install or modify the 'WMI Provider Host' (WmiPrvSE) service, which is a common technique used by adversaries for persistence or to masquerade malicious activity. The rule monitors process execution, registry modifications, and service installation events specifically targeting this service name.
Detects anomalous system reconnaissance activity performed using WMIC or PowerShell Get-WmiObject commands. The rule tracks distinct command-line executions per device and flags hosts where three or more unique reconnaissance commands are executed within a short timeframe, which is indicative of an adversary enumerating system configuration, hotfixes, or hardware details.

This pattern is often associated with adversaries attempting to disable security tools, logging agents, or other defensive mechanisms on an endpoint.
Detects the deletion of Volume Shadow Copies using native Windows utilities like WMIC or PowerShell cmdlets (Get-WmiObject, Get-CimInstance) targeting Win32_ShadowCopy. This behavior is a common indicator of ransomware preparation to inhibit system recovery prior to encryption, as observed in attacks involving the Akira ransomware.
Detects execution of a renamed Windows Contacts utility (wab.exe) spawned by the WMI Provider Host (WmiPrvSE.exe). This pattern is indicative of masquarading and process injection, commonly used by threat actors to execute arbitrary code or establish C2 communication while appearing as a legitimate Windows binary.
Detects the addition of a Microsoft Defender exclusion path targeting suspicious directories or executables that mimic legitimate Windows Defender installation paths (e.g., 'Microsoft\Windows Defender' or 'defender.exe'). This behavior is indicative of defense evasion, allowing attackers to hide malicious files from real-time scanning by bypassing security controls via PowerShell Set-MpPreference or WMIC.
Detects coordinated activity where a PowerShell process executes multiple distinct administrative utilities (such as wevtutil, vssadmin, wbadmin, or bcdedit) to perform destructive actions like clearing event logs, deleting shadow copies, or disabling system recovery settings. This rule uses correlation to identify sequences of at least three distinct commands and utilities, reducing false positives associated with single administrative tasks.
Detects wmic.exe process enumeration ("process list"/"where") spawned within 60 seconds by a python.exe or pythonw.exe process running from a non-standard path (AppData, Temp, or ProgramData), consistent with DeviceManager RAT reconnaissance behavior delivered via the DOUBLECUP ClickFix loader.
Detects host-profiling reconnaissance behavior characteristic of the CountLoader malware, where a process concurrently checks for common cryptocurrency wallet and Signal messaging application data folders alongside performing WMI-based antivirus product enumeration within a 5-minute window.
Detects a single process invocation querying WMI hardware/OS classes together with AntiVirusProduct/SecurityCenter2 enumeration, consistent with a reconnaissance module performing hardware/OS fingerprinting and AV product enumeration.
