This rule detects inbound network connections to Active Directory Web Services (ADWS) on port 9389, followed by either LDAP query events (Event ID 1644) or operations on Active Directory objects (Event ID 4662) originating from the same device. This combination of events can indicate reconnaissance or malicious activity targeting Active Directory, such as attempts to enumerate accounts or groups, or to modify AD objects.

This rule detects Windows Admin Center (WAC) creating a listening connection on its default port (6516) on internet-facing devices, specifically when the WAC version is not '2.6.4'. This could indicate an unpatched or vulnerable version of WAC exposed to the internet, potentially making it susceptible to exploitation.

This rule detects the execution of 'notepad.exe' specifically when it is launched from the WindowsApps directory (excluding version '11.2510') and its command line arguments include the string '.md'. This combination suggests an attempt to open or process Markdown files using a specific, potentially non-standard, version of Notepad. This could indicate unusual user activity, a misconfigured application, or potentially malicious activity involving Markdown files, such as data exfiltration or execution of embedded content.

This rule detects potential phishing activity by identifying inbound emails from specific sender addresses that were not blocked by Microsoft Defender for Office (MDO), followed by network connections to a known malicious infrastructure associated with 'Tycoon2FA'. The rule first looks for unblocked emails from 'donotreply@docmagic.com' and 'noreply@frigoarrobba.com.br'. If such emails are found, it then checks for network connections to 'listener.facraivo.sa.com' within a 7-day window, indicating a potential compromise or user interaction with the phishing attempt.

This rule detects outbound network connections to domains associated with the Tykit malware family or domains matching a specific regular expression pattern often used for credential harvesting (e.g., 'loginmicr.s*.cc'). It leverages an external intelligence feed for known Tykit domains and a regex for common phishing/credential theft patterns.

This rule detects potential command and control (C2) activity by identifying devices that first query 'api.ipify.org' (often used by malware to determine external IP addresses) and then subsequently establish an outbound network connection on port 7712 to a non-private IP address. This sequence of events can indicate a compromised host attempting to beacon out to a C2 server after initial reconnaissance.

This rule detects the creation of files with specific malicious extension IDs on devices. These extensions are typically associated with browser-based malware or unwanted programs that modify browser behavior, steal data, or perform other malicious activities. The rule specifically looks for `FileCreated` events where the `FileName` matches any of the predefined malicious extension IDs.
