Detects attempts to access the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process memory from non-system accounts, which is a common technique used by credential dumping tools like Mimikatz. The rule specifically looks for security events (4663 or 4656) related to process object access with specific access masks targeting 'lsass.exe', while filtering out legitimate system accounts and known benign processes.

Detects the creation of suspicious local accounts that mimic the 'ANONYMOUS LOGON' account, potentially using additional spaces or other obfuscation techniques. This rule specifically targets Event ID 4720 (A security-enabled local group was created) and looks for 'ANONYMOUS' and 'LOGON' within the SamAccountName field, aiming to cover scenarios where such accounts are created to bypass detection or for malicious persistence.

Detects the installation of the NetSupport Manager client service on a Windows system. This rule specifically looks for Event ID 7045 from the Service Control Manager, indicating a service installation, and then filters for service paths containing '\NetSupport Manager\client32.exe' or a service name of 'Client32'. This activity can be indicative of legitimate remote administration tool deployment or malicious use for persistence.
