Detects the creation of an 'svchost.exe' process with specific command line flags ('-k msupdate', '-k msupdate2', or '-k alg') that have been observed in use by the ColdSteel RAT for persistence and defense evasion. This pattern indicates the RAT establishing itself as a service to maintain access on a compromised system.

Detects the creation of a Windows service named "WerFaultSvc" with a specific ImagePath pattern, which has been identified as a persistence mechanism used by the SNAKE malware (also known as EKANS) as described in CISA reports. The rule specifically looks for Event ID 7045 from the Service Control Manager, indicating a service installation, where the service name contains 'WerFaultSvc' and the ImagePath starts with 'C:\Windows\WinSxS\' and ends with '\WerFault.exe'.

Detects unusually long PowerShell command lines (1000 characters or more) which can be indicative of obfuscated or complex malicious scripts being executed. Attackers often use long command lines to evade detection by packing malicious code, base64 encoded commands, or other obfuscation techniques into a single line.

This rule detects the creation of a new Windows service where the ImagePath contains 'rundll32.exe', 'shell32.dll', 'shellexec_rundll', and 'powershell'. This specific combination is indicative of an attempt to execute obfuscated PowerShell code via rundll32.exe, a common technique for defense evasion and execution.

This rule detects the creation of files with a '.dll' extension that have names matching known Windows system DLLs (e.g., 'secur32.dll', 'tdh.dll') but are created in unusual or non-standard system directories. The rule specifically excludes common legitimate system directories like 'System32' and 'SysWOW64' to reduce false positives. This behavior can indicate an attempt at DLL sideloading or other defense evasion techniques where an attacker places a malicious DLL with a legitimate system DLL name in a location that a legitimate application might load it from.
