Detects the creation of specific files (spinstall.aspx, spinstall?.aspx, debug_dev.js) within SharePoint's Web Server Extensions template layouts directory. This activity is indicative of successful exploitation of CVE-2025-53770, a zero-day vulnerability in SharePoint that allows remote code execution.

Detects when a non-browser process initiates network communication with the Telegram API. This activity is suspicious as it could indicate the use of Telegram for covert command and control (C2) or data exfiltration by malware, bypassing typical browser-based interactions.

This rule detects network connections initiated by any binary to the domains 'mega.co.nz' or 'mega.nz'. Attackers have been observed using file-sharing services like MEGA for uploading and downloading additional payloads, facilitating data exfiltration or staging. This detection aims to identify such suspicious communication patterns.

Detects PowerShell scripts leveraging the "Invoke-WebRequest" or "Invoke-RestMethod" cmdlets to send data using either the "PUT" or "POST" HTTP method. This behavior can indicate an attempt to exfiltrate data from the system.

Detects PowerShell execution using Invoke-WebRequest (or its aliases like curl, wget, Invoke-RestMethod, irm, iwr) to connect to an IP address directly. This behavior can be indicative of malware downloading additional stages or establishing command and control, especially when avoiding DNS resolution.

Detects the use of `reg.exe` or PowerShell to delete the Windows Defender context menu handler registry keys. This action removes the "Scan with Microsoft Defender" option from the right-click menu for files, directories, and drives. Attackers may use this technique to hinder manual, on-demand scans and reduce the visibility of the security product.

Detects modifications or creations of Windows Defender's default threat action settings based on severity to 'allow' or take 'no action'. This is a highly suspicious configuration change that effectively disables Defender's ability to automatically mitigate threats of a certain severity level, allowing malicious software to run unimpeded. An attacker might use this technique to bypass defenses before executing payloads.

This rule detects PowerShell scripts that utilize web request cmdlets (Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-RestMethod, irm, iwr) along with the '-UserAgent' parameter. Adversaries often modify user agents to mimic legitimate traffic or specific applications, blending in with normal network activity to evade detection while communicating with command and control servers or exfiltrating data.

0014
Detects suspicious execution of PowerShell's Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet (or its aliases like curl, iwr, wget) when the output is directed to a suspicious location. Adversaries often use this technique to download malicious tools or files into user-controlled directories like AppData, Desktop, Temp, or Public folders, or directly into the Windows directory, which are not typical locations for legitimate Invoke-WebRequest output.

Detects the use of encoded or obfuscated IP addresses (hex, octal, etc.) within a URL in conjunction with common download commands. This technique is often used by adversaries to evade simple network-based detections or to obscure their infrastructure.
