Detects the use of PowerShell to execute the 'Set-MpPreference' cmdlet to configure Windows Defender's threat severity default action to 'Allow' (value '6') or 'NoAction' (value '9'). This is a highly suspicious configuration change that effectively disables Defender's ability to automatically mitigate threats of a certain severity level. An attacker might use this technique via the command line to bypass defenses before executing payloads.

Detects the use of reg.exe to disable the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) Autologger session for Windows Defender API and Audit events. By setting the 'Start' value to '0' for the 'DefenderApiLogger' or 'DefenderAuditLogger' session, an attacker can prevent these critical security events from being logged, effectively blinding monitoring tools that rely on this data. This is a powerful defense evasion technique.

Detects an executable initiating a network connection to "ngrok" domains.
Attackers were seen using this "ngrok" in order to store their second stage payloads and malware.
While communication with such domains can be legitimate, often times is a sign of either data exfiltration by malicious actors or additional download.

Detects potential exploitation of CVE-2025-53770, a zero-day vulnerability in SharePoint that allows remote code execution. The rule identifies indicators such as suspicious command lines discovered in post-exploitation activities, specifically looking for `w3wp.exe` as a parent process executing encoded commands or referencing `spinstall0.aspx` within SharePoint layout paths.

Detects suspicious file writes to SharePoint layouts directory which could indicate webshell activity or post-exploitation.
This behavior has been observed in the exploitation of SharePoint vulnerabilities such as CVE-2025-49704, CVE-2025-49706 or CVE-2025-53770.

Detects the execution of a renamed binary often used by attackers or malware. This rule leverages the Sysmon 'OriginalFileName' data point to identify instances where a process's actual executable name (Image) differs from its original compiled file name. This technique is commonly used for defense evasion to masquerade malicious executables as legitimate system utilities.
