Detects the creation of a symbolic link between "cmd.exe" and the accessibility on-screen keyboard binary (osk.exe) using "mklink". This technique provides an elevated command prompt to the user from the login screen without the need to log in, which is a common method for privilege escalation and persistence.

This rule detects the usage of path traversal techniques within the command line of 'conhost.exe'. This behavior can indicate an attempt to confuse or hijack command arguments, potentially leading to indirect command execution. Specifically, it looks for '/../../' in the command line when 'conhost' is present in the parent command line.

This rule detects suspicious registration of IIS modules, a technique used by adversaries to establish persistence on web servers. It specifically looks for `w3wp.exe` (IIS worker process) as the parent process executing commands related to adding modules via `appcmd.exe`, or using PowerShell with `system.enterpriseservices.internal.publish`, or using `gacutil` with the `/I` flag. These activities are indicative of malicious IIS extensions or backdoors being installed, as described in Microsoft's threat report on IIS backdoors.

This rule detects the execution of 'remote.exe', a legitimate utility part of WinDbg in the Windows SDK. Adversaries can abuse remote.exe for application whitelisting (AWL) bypass and to execute remote files, making it a living-off-the-land binary (LOLBin). The detection is based on the image path ending with '\remote.exe' or the original filename being 'remote.exe'.
