Detects network traffic to a local proxy on port 7152, a behavior associated with a malicious NuGet package campaign involving NCryptYo, DOMOAuth2_, IRAOAuth2.0, and SimpleWriter_. This traffic is characterized by communication to a loopback address (127.0.0.1 or ::1) or 'localhost' on the suspicious port, specifically targeting '/api/auth/' endpoints.

This detection identifies suspicious command-line pipelines commonly used in "ClickFix" attacks. It specifically searches for the use of 'curl' or 'wget' to download a payload that is immediately executed via a shell, often hidden within a subshell `$(...)` or piped directly to an interpreter. This "download and execute" pattern is a high-fidelity indicator of a successful ClickFix lure, where a user has been tricked into running a malicious command.

This is a broad hunting query to find Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) associated with the Notepad++ supply-chain attack attributed to the Lotus Blossom actor and the Chrysalis backdoor. It searches for known file hashes, file paths, network indicators (IPs, domains, URLs), and user-agents across multiple event types.

Detects the execution of common Living Off The Land Binaries and Scripts (LOLBAS) initiated from Windows Explorer. The detection logic specifically looks for command lines that contain indicators of obfuscation or padding, which are common techniques used in malicious LNK (shortcut) files to hide their true purpose. This rule identifies processes like mshta.exe, powershell.exe, cmd.exe, certutil.exe, cscript.exe, and wscript.exe being launched by explorer.exe with suspicious command-line arguments.

Detects the execution of executables that masquerade as common collaboration tools (e.g., Teams, Zoom, Adobe) but have characteristics of the TrustConnect RAT. TrustConnect uses large (approx. 35MB) .NET Core single-file executables where the internal/original filename is a .dll, which is a mismatch from the .exe process name.
