This rule detects a high volume of PowerShell or Command Prompt executions from a single computer by a single account within a one-hour window. This behavior can be indicative of an APT-style multi-stage attack pattern where an adversary is executing numerous commands in quick succession, potentially for discovery, execution, or privilege escalation. The rule specifically looks for command lines containing 'powershell' and '-enc' (encoded command) or 'cmd' and '/c' (execute command and terminate).
This rule detects the creation of new processes (Event ID 4688) where the command line contains keywords indicative of driver or kernel module installation or loading. It looks for combinations of terms like 'driver', 'kernel', 'sys' along with 'install' or 'load'. This activity can be a sign of rootkit installation or other malicious kernel-level modifications.
This rule detects multiple successful RDP logons (LogonType 10) within a one-hour window by accounts containing '$' (often machine accounts) or 'admin' (privileged accounts). This behavior can be indicative of an adversary attempting to gain remote access and potentially deploy ransomware or other malicious payloads, especially if multiple source IPs are observed.
This rule detects suspicious large file transfers over the network, specifically looking for connections where more than 100MB (104857600 bytes) of data has been sent or received. It then aggregates these transfers by device and remote IP within one-hour bins and flags if five or more such large transfers occur within that hour. This behavior can be indicative of data exfiltration, often associated with ransomware attacks or other malicious data theft activities.
This rule detects suspicious modifications to registry keys under 'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies' where the registry value data contains '.exe' or '.dll'. Such changes, especially multiple occurrences within a short timeframe (3 or more changes within an hour), can indicate ransomware activity attempting to alter file associations or execution policies to maintain persistence or execute malicious payloads.
Detects attempts to delete Volume Shadow Copies using 'vssadmin' or 'wmic' commands, which is a common tactic used by ransomware to prevent system recovery.
This rule detects attempts by a device to resolve specific domain names known to be associated with ransomware killswitches. Successful resolution of these domains could indicate a ransomware infection attempting to halt its encryption process.
This rule detects suspicious execution of common scripting interpreters (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, cscript.exe, wscript.exe, python.exe) from temporary directories (Temp, AppData, %TEMP%). A high count (5 or more) of such events within an hour for a given computer and account is considered suspicious, indicating potential malicious activity like malware execution or persistence.
This rule detects the installation of new Windows services (EventID 7045) where the service's executable path (ServiceFileName) contains common scripting interpreters like 'cmd', 'powershell', or 'wscript'. This pattern can indicate an adversary attempting to establish persistence or execute malicious code via a newly created service that leverages scripting capabilities.
This rule detects the creation or modification of scheduled tasks (EventID 4698 or 4699) where the command line for the task contains references to scripting languages like PowerShell, cmd, or VBScript. It then groups these events by computer and user, flagging if two or more such tasks are created by the same user on the same computer, which could indicate malicious activity.
