This rule detects suspicious child processes spawned by the VMware Tools daemon (vmtoolsd.exe). Adversaries may leverage vmtoolsd.exe to establish persistence by executing various scripting and command-line interpreters such as cmd.exe, cscript.exe, mshta.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, regsvr32.exe, rundll32.exe, and wscript.exe. The rule specifically filters out legitimate VMware Tools scripts related to power management to reduce false positives.
