This rule detects the creation of PowerShell aliases for high-risk cmdlets or .NET web client patterns. Adversaries may use 'Set-Alias' to create short, obfuscated aliases for common cmdlets like Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-Expression, or cmdlets related to Defender tampering, making their command-line activity harder to detect and analyze. This detection focuses on the 'ProcessCreated' event for PowerShell processes where 'Set-Alias' is used to map to a predefined list of suspicious cmdlets or patterns.

This detection aims to identify suspicious popup activity on devices by analyzing process events that launch notifications. The query focuses on detecting referrers that generate multiple unique popup URLs, which could indicate potentially malicious behavior.

You can use this to check for potential browser popups generated by malicious sites gaining notification permission on a browser before they lead to further compromise of a host.

This rule detects suspicious batch (.bat) file creation events by monitoring for several indicators. It flags batch files created by processes using command lines indicative of downloads (e.g., 'http:', 'https:', 'iwr', 'iex', 'invoke'), batch files created by suspicious executables ('curl.exe', 'mshta.exe'), batch files placed in high-risk directories ('\Users\Public\', '\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\'), or batch files exceeding a size threshold of 5MB. The rule explicitly excludes processes named 'java.exe' or 'javaw.exe' from triggering alerts.
