Detects PowerShell processes invoked with obfuscated command lines that enumerate Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
exported commands and invoke cmdlets indirectly by array index. This technique is used to evade
detections that look for explicit strings such as Invoke-RestMethod or Invoke-Expression.

Detects the modification of the wsl.exe binary from its installed location.
Attackers can replace the legitimate wsl.exe binary with a malicious payload in its place, which is then executed when the user runs WSL, acting as a proxy execution and defense evasion technique.

Detects modifications to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) InstallLocation registry key.
Attackers can modify this registry key to redirect the execution flow of legitimate WSL processes (wsl.exe or bash.exe) to a malicious payload, acting as a proxy execution and defense evasion technique.

Detects execution of masqueraded wsl.exe binary.
Attackers can rename a malicious payload to wsl.exe to masquerade as the legitimate Windows Subsystem for Linux binary,
bypassing detection based on image name alone and abusing user trust in the WSL process name.

Detects the execution of renamed schtasks.exe binary, which is a legitimate Windows utility used for scheduling tasks.
One of the very common persistence techniques is schedule malicious tasks using schtasks.exe.
Since, it is heavily abused, it is also heavily monitored by security products. To evade detection, threat actors may rename the schtasks.exe binary to schedule their malicious tasks.

Detects C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe spawning a child wsl.exe process from outside the legitimate WSL install locations.
When WSL or bash is invoked, the System32 stub (wsl.exe) looks up the InstallLocation registry key and executes the wsl.exe found there.
An attacker who modifies InstallLocation to a controlled path causes the stub to transparently proxy execution to a malicious payload,
which then appears as a wsl.exe child of the legitimate System32 stub.

Detects the use of reg.exe or PowerShell to modify the WSL InstallLocation registry key via command-line arguments.
Legitimate modifications to this key are performed exclusively by the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) during WSL package installation or update.
Manual use of reg.exe or PowerShell to set this value strongly indicates an attempt to redirect WSL execution to a malicious binary.
