This rule detects network connections to known command and control (C2) infrastructure associated with the 'Prinz Eugen' ransomware, also referred to as the ROOTBOY actor. It identifies connections to specific IP addresses and URLs that have been linked to this threat actor's operations.
Detects the creation or modification of registry run keys that establish persistence for the Prinz Eugen ransomware. The rule specifically looks for registry entries under 'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run' that contain common environment variables (e.g., %APPDATA%, %TEMP%) and specific filenames or paths associated with Prinz Eugen ransomware (e.g., 'servertool', 'encrypt.exe', '\Music\', '\Desktop\').
This rule detects the execution of processes named 'servertool.exe' or 'encrypt.exe' that are likely associated with the Prinz Eugen ransomware. The detection logic specifically looks for these executables being run with command-line arguments indicative of multi-threaded or parallel processing, such as 'goroutine', 'threads', 'workers', or 'parallel'. It then counts the number of unique process IDs for these activities within a 5-minute window on a given device and flags if four or more such processes are observed, suggesting a high-intensity encryption operation.
Detects unauthorized GlobalProtect VPN logins from known malicious IPs.
This rule detects the creation or modification of executable files (.com, .exe, .scr, .pif, .bat, .cmd) in common user directories (Documents, Downloads, Desktop) where the initiating process is a legitimate application like explorer.exe, winrar.exe, or 7z.exe. This pattern is often used in phishing attacks where malicious executables are disguised as benign documents.
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events indicative of ransomware activity, specifically the Prinz Eugen ransomware. It looks for the execution of common file compression utilities (7z.exe, rar.exe, WinRAR.exe, winzip.exe) followed by the execution of known ransomware encryption executables (servertool.exe, encrypt.exe) on the same device within a 30-minute window. This pattern suggests that an attacker is compressing files before encrypting them, a common tactic to reduce the size of data for faster encryption or exfiltration.
This rule detects the execution of commands associated with memory clearing and garbage collection, potentially used by the Prinz Eugen ransomware to hinder forensic analysis or ensure data destruction. It specifically looks for command-line arguments like 'erasefreespace', 'cleanmem', 'memset', or 'zeromem' when initiated by 'servertool.exe' or 'encrypt.exe'.
This rule detects suspicious process activity indicative of ransomware, specifically Prinz Eugen. It identifies processes named 'servertool.exe', 'encrypt.exe', or 'lock.exe' that interact with common user directories ('Users', 'OneDrive', 'Downloads', 'Documents') and are observed at least 3 times within a 15-minute window on a single device, suggesting a recursive encryption pattern.
This rule detects the execution of 'cmd.exe' with command-line arguments indicative of file deletion, specifically targeting files or directories commonly associated with ransomware activity or anti-forensics. The rule looks for deletion commands ('del', 'erase', 'remove', 'delete') combined with specific file paths or executables ('servertool.exe', 'encrypt.exe', 'Music\', 'Desktop\'). This behavior is often observed in ransomware attacks to remove traces or critical files.
Detects the creation of temporary files with '.prinzeugen.tmp' or generic '.tmp' extensions in common user directories (Users, Documents, Downloads, AppData), which is indicative of Prinz Eugen ransomware activity.
