Detects when a .NET assembly DLL from the Windows assembly cache (C:\Windows\assembly\) is loaded by a Microsoft Office application. This behavior can indicate an attempt to execute malicious code or achieve persistence through Office applications by leveraging .NET assemblies.

Detects threat actors proxy executing code and bypassing application controls by leveraging wmic and the `/FORMAT` argument switch to download and execute an XSL file (i.e js, vbs, etc). This rule specifically looks for `wmic.exe` loading scripting libraries like `jscript.dll` or `vbscript.dll`.

Detects PowerShell scripts that use the "Compress-Archive" Cmdlet to compress folders and files, storing the output in suspicious temporary locations often used by malware for exfiltration. Adversaries may compress collected data (e.g., sensitive documents) prior to exfiltration to make it portable and minimize network transfer.

Detects obfuscated PowerShell execution that leverages `clip.exe` to interact with the clipboard. The rule specifically looks for PowerShell module logs (Event ID 4103) where the payload contains `cmd` followed by `/c` or `/r`, then `clip` (with or without `.exe`), and finally a PowerShell command that accesses the clipboard using `[System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetText` or similar, often with string formatting. This technique is associated with `Invoke-Obfuscation`, a tool used to evade detection.

Detects the execution of PowerShell scripts obfuscated using techniques associated with Invoke-Obfuscation, specifically when launched via rundll32.exe and shell32.dll. This method is often used by adversaries to evade detection and execute malicious PowerShell code.

Adversaries may acquire credentials from web browsers by reading files specific to the target browser. This rule detects PowerShell commands attempting to copy browser login data files from common web browsers like Opera, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome.

Detects PowerShell execution that enumerates Active Directory users with the 'DONT_REQ_PREAUTH' flag set (UserAccountControl flag 4194304). This flag indicates that the account does not require Kerberos pre-authentication, making it vulnerable to AS-REP Roasting attacks where an attacker can request a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) without providing credentials and then attempt to crack the hash offline.

Detects attempts to modify Group Policy settings related to system behavior or security features by analyzing PowerShell script block logs. This rule specifically looks for modifications to registry paths associated with Group Policy settings, such as refresh times or SmartScreen configurations, which could indicate an adversary attempting to establish persistence, evade defenses, or escalate privileges.

This rule detects PowerShell scripts that enumerate directories using `Get-ChildItem` and output the results to a file using `Out-File -append`. The detection logic specifically looks for the combination of `foreach`, `Get-ChildItem`, `-Path`, `-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue`, `Out-File`, and `-append` within the PowerShell script block text. This behavior has been associated with MAZE ransomware for directory discovery.

Detects the execution of SyncAppvPublishingServer.exe, which is often used by adversaries to bypass PowerShell execution restrictions. This technique is part of the LOLBAS (Living Off The Land Binaries and Scripts) project, where legitimate system binaries are abused for malicious purposes, specifically to execute PowerShell commands in a way that might evade traditional security controls.
