This rule detects the creation of a new trust relationship to a domain, indicated by Windows Event ID 4706. The addition of domain trusts is an infrequent administrative action and should be carefully verified for legitimacy, as unauthorized trust relationships could be used for privilege escalation or persistence within an Active Directory environment.

This rule detects attempts to tamper with Sysmon's operational settings by monitoring changes to specific registry keys related to Sysmon's event publishers and channels. Specifically, it looks for modifications that disable Sysmon's 'Enabled' status (EventID 4657, NewValue 0) or attempts to delete the Sysmon operational channel (EventID 4663, AccessMask '0x10000'). This activity could indicate a threat actor trying to evade detection by disabling or muting Sysmon logging.

The rule identifies the driver by its filename and specific import hashes.

Detects the loading of .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) DLLs by scripting applications such as wscript, cscript, or mshta. This behavior can indicate suspicious execution, potentially involving techniques like DotNetToJScript or Donut, which use scripting hosts to execute .NET assemblies in memory. The rule specifically looks for `clr.dll`, `mscoree.dll`, or `mscorlib.dll` being loaded by a predefined list of scripting or utility executables.
