Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility that reference suspicious paths (AppData/Local or Roaming) or specific executables often associated with suspicious activity (Launcher.exe, GapiUpdate.exe) in conjunction with 'DeviceSetupManager'. Additionally, it includes a hash-based detection for a specific known malicious file artifact.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'Google Chrome Update' using the Windows schtasks.exe utility. The rule flags instances where the task is created from locations other than the legitimate Google Chrome installation directories, identifying potential persistence mechanisms masquerading as a common software update process.

This rule detects the creation of scheduled tasks that attempt to masquerade as legitimate Google Chrome Update tasks. It flags tasks that use the 'Google Chrome Update' name but do not follow the standard naming convention (which typically includes 'GoogleUpdateTaskMachine') or tasks that initiate suspicious actions using scripting engines (like PowerShell, cmd.exe, mshta, etc.) rather than the signed Google update binary.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the initiating process is a script interpreter such as 'mshta.exe' or 'powershell.exe'. This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious payloads or the establishment of persistence.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.

This rule detects potential attempts to tamper with Microsoft Defender security settings by creating or managing scheduled tasks that modify Defender exclusion paths. It correlates process execution (specifically schtasks.exe or PowerShell commands used for setting exclusions) with Windows Registry events that modify the Microsoft Defender exclusion path registry keys, flagging suspicious activity within a 15-minute window.

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious automated scraping behavior by identifying periodic, non-interactive tasks that perform high-volume outbound network requests to multiple external hosts. It specifically filters for processes launched via scheduling mechanisms (Task Scheduler, cron) that exhibit indicators of anti-bot or proxy-rotation bypass techniques (such as usage of headless browser tools or proxy-related keywords in command lines). The rule is tuned to ignore legitimate system maintenance, update, and monitoring processes.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task containing 'EdgeCore_AutoUpdate' in the command line using either schtasks.exe or Register-ScheduledTask. This pattern is often indicative of persistence mechanisms attempting to masquerade as legitimate update services.

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 the creation of a scheduled task named 'GlobalProtectVPNUpdate' using schtasks.exe, which has been identified as a technique used to facilitate the execution of malicious payloads masquerading as legitimate GlobalProtect VPN components. It also monitors for the subsequent execution of 'GlobalProtect.exe' when initiated by Windows background services like taskeng.exe or svchost.exe, which is indicative of persistence and unauthorized code execution.

This rule detects the use of the LockAppHost process to execute suspicious commands associated with tampering with security configurations, including Windows Defender settings, service management (sc.exe), and task scheduling. Adversaries may abuse this process to bypass security controls, disable real-time monitoring, or maintain persistence.
