Detects potential DLL hijack of "iertutil.dll" found in the DCOM InternetExplorer.Application Class over the network. This rule specifically looks for file events where the 'System' process is writing to 'iertutil.dll' within the 'Internet Explorer' directory, which could indicate an attempt to replace or modify a legitimate DLL for malicious purposes, potentially leveraging DCOM for remote execution.

This rule detects the creation of a batch file by PowerShell, specifically looking for files ending with '.bat' when the creating process is 'powershell.exe' or 'pwsh.exe'. This behavior is indicative of the Powerup tool's 'Write Hijack DLL' functionality, which creates a self-deleting batch file (often named 'debug.bat') to execute malicious commands for DLL hijacking and privilege escalation.

Detects the creation or modification of PowerShell profile scripts (profile.ps1) in various common locations. Adversaries may modify these profiles to include arbitrary commands, functions, or modules to gain persistence or elevate privileges, as the profile script runs automatically when PowerShell starts.
