Detects execution of PowerShell spawned by script engines (wscript.exe, cscript.exe) using 'certutil -decode' to process files within the 'ProgramData' directory. This pattern is characteristic of the NUKESPED staging phase, often attributed to the Kimsuky threat actor, where obfuscated or encoded payloads are decoded into executable form using built-in system utilities.
Detects Hannibal Stealer reconnaissance activity involving the creation of a 'config.json' file within the 'SCef.WindowsAdapter' directory, correlated with suspicious process executions attempting to enumerate system information via 'GetComputerNameEx' or 'GetAdaptersInfo' API calls.
This rule detects potential credential harvesting activity associated with the Hannibal Stealer. It looks for non-standard processes (processes other than the browsers themselves) that access sensitive browser credential stores (like 'Login Data', 'cookies.sqlite', or 'key4.db') and correlate these file access events with the loading of 'bcrypt.dll' or 'CefSharp.BrowsersSubprocess.dll', which are often used for decryption or browser automation/sub-processes during credential theft.
Detects the execution of cmd.exe triggered by specific potentially malicious filenames or involving known ransomware-related artifacts, such as 'boottel.dat', ransomware note files, or specific suspicious file extensions like '.SZO'. This is indicative of ransomware deployment or post-compromise cleanup and extortion activities.
Detects instances where WScript.exe queries or modifies multiple sensitive Windows Registry keys. This behavior is often associated with script-based malware attempting to modify file associations, persistence mechanisms, or security policies as part of an infection or post-exploitation process.
This rule detects when non-FileZilla processes attempt to read or access sensitive FileZilla configuration files, specifically 'recentservers.xml' or 'sitemanager.xml', which are known to store plain-text credentials for site connections. This behavior is indicative of credential harvesting.
Detects outbound network connections to common MQTT ports (1883, 8883) initiated by living-off-the-land binaries, command interpreters, or unknown processes. This behavior may indicate an attacker using MQTT as a covert C2 channel to bypass network filtering by mimicking legitimate IoT protocol traffic.
Detects the creation of multiple executable files (.exe or .dll) within a 6-hour window in non-standard directories (outside of Windows or Program Files). The rule identifies scenarios where a single filename has three or more distinct SHA256 hashes associated with it on a specific device, which may indicate iterative malware delivery, obfuscation techniques, or persistence mechanism testing.
Detects modifications or deletions of Conditional Access policies in an environment. This includes disabling policies or altering key configurations like users, groups, applications, platforms, or locations, which could be indicative of an attacker attempting to bypass security controls or maintain persistent access.
This rule monitors system logs for attempts to disable or stop the Linux Audit daemon (auditd) or modify its configuration via auditctl or system management commands (systemctl, service). Disabling the audit system is a common technique used by adversaries to hide malicious activity from security monitoring.
