Detects the image load of 'vsstrace.dll' by executables that are not typically associated with legitimate Windows operations or known backup solutions. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to manipulate or delete Volume Shadow Copies, often as a precursor to data encryption for impact (ransomware) or to hinder system recovery.

This rule detects common PowerShell download and execution cradles. It looks for command-line arguments that indicate an attempt to download content from the internet (e.g., '.DownloadString(', '.DownloadFile(', 'Invoke-WebRequest', 'iwr', 'Invoke-RestMethod', 'irm') combined with immediate execution (e.g., ';iex $', '| IEX', 'Invoke-Expression'). These patterns are frequently used by adversaries to fetch and execute malicious scripts or payloads directly in memory.

This rule detects the execution of WinRAR (rar.exe or winrar.exe) from a directory that is not its standard installation path (e.g., 'Program Files\WinRAR'). It specifically excludes 'UnRAR.exe' executions and also filters out executions from the Windows temporary directory ('Windows\Temp') to reduce false positives. This behavior can be indicative of an adversary using a portable or custom-dropped version of WinRAR for archiving data prior to exfiltration, or for other malicious purposes.

This rule detects the usage of the 'ssh.exe' binary as a proxy to launch other programs. This technique can be abused by adversaries for defense evasion and to execute arbitrary commands. The detection specifically looks for 'ssh.exe' being spawned by 'sshd.exe' or for 'ssh.exe' command lines containing 'ProxyCommand=' or 'PermitLocalCommand=yes' and 'LocalCommand'.

Detects the execution of Python web servers via command line interface (CLI).
After gaining access to target systems, adversaries may use Python's built-in HTTP server modules to quickly establish a web server without requiring additional software.
This technique is commonly used in post-exploitation scenarios as it provides a simple method for transferring files between the compromised host and attacker-controlled systems.

This rule detects the use of alternate PowerShell hosts, which adversaries might leverage to bypass security detections that specifically monitor 'powershell.exe'. It identifies PowerShell module loads where the 'ContextInfo' field does not correspond to standard PowerShell executables or known legitimate applications that host PowerShell, such as sdiagnhost.exe, ConfigSyncRun.exe, dsac.exe, or wsmprovhost.exe. The rule also filters out common PowerShell help update activities.
