This rule detects the execution of processes with command-line arguments indicative of Mimikatz usage. It specifically looks for the strings 'mimikatz', 'sekurlsa', or 'privilege::debug' in the command line of newly created processes (EventID 4688). This activity is commonly associated with credential dumping.
Detects suspicious file downloads from the internet where common DLLs (wininet.dll, urlmon.dll, msxml3.dll) are initiating the file creation of executable, DLL, PowerShell, or batch files. The rule specifically looks for scenarios where 5 or more such files are created by the same initiating process on a device, indicating potential malicious activity like ingress tool transfer.
This rule detects suspicious file activity indicative of ransomware by monitoring for a high volume of file creations or renames where the filenames contain common ransomware-related extensions such as '.encrypted', '.locked', or '.ransom'. It aggregates these events over a one-hour period per device and triggers if 20 or more such events occur.
Detects suspicious process execution patterns involving PowerShell with encoded commands or CMD with command execution flags. The rule looks for multiple occurrences of these patterns from the same computer and account within a one-hour window, which could indicate malicious activity such as script execution or obfuscated command execution.
This rule detects suspicious outbound DNS queries originating from a device that are not directed to common public DNS servers (Google DNS, Cloudflare DNS). The rule specifically flags queries where the remote DNS name contains keywords like 'malware', 'c2', or 'c&c', and where at least 5 such queries occur within an hour from the same device. This pattern can indicate potential malware communication or command and control (C2) activity.
This rule detects the creation or modification of executable files (.exe, .dll, .sys) within critical Windows system directories (C:\Windows\System32\ or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\). Such activity can indicate an attempt to establish persistence, elevate privileges, or inject malicious code into legitimate system processes.
This rule detects suspicious activity related to browser extension installations by monitoring registry modifications. Specifically, it looks for multiple registry value sets within Chrome or Firefox extension paths within a short timeframe (1 hour), which could indicate an automated or malicious installation of browser extensions.
This rule detects suspicious DLL injection activity by identifying multiple DLL loads from unusual folders such as 'Temp', 'AppData', or 'Windows\Temp'. Adversaries often drop malicious DLLs into these directories and then inject them into legitimate processes to achieve persistence, privilege escalation, or defense evasion. The rule counts the number of DLL loads from these suspicious locations by the same initiating process on the same device, triggering an alert if five or more such loads occur, indicating a concerted malicious effort.
This rule detects potential ransomware activity by monitoring for a high volume of file creation or renaming events where the new file names end with common ransomware extensions such as '.encrypted', '.locked', or '.crypted'. It aggregates these events over 5-minute intervals and triggers if 50 or more such files are observed on a single device.
This rule detects command-line executions that attempt to disable Windows Defender or the Windows Firewall. It specifically looks for process creation events (EventID 4688) where the command line contains keywords like 'disable' along with 'defender' or 'firewall', executed via PowerShell or cmd. This activity is indicative of an adversary attempting to impair defenses.
