This rule detects indirect command execution by monitoring for processes where 'pcwrun.exe' is the parent process. 'pcwrun.exe' is part of the Program Compatibility Assistant and can be abused to proxy execution of other commands or binaries, a technique often used for defense evasion.

Detects the execution of PowerShell scripts via 'Runscripthelper.exe' when the command line contains 'surfacecheck'. This behavior is suspicious as 'Runscripthelper.exe' is a legitimate Windows binary that can be abused for indirect command execution, often as part of Living Off The Land Binaries and Scripts (LOLBAS) techniques.

Detects the execution of the PDQ Deploy Console, which is a remote administration tool. This rule identifies the creation of processes associated with the PDQ Deploy Console based on its description, product name, company, or original file name. This tool can be used for legitimate software deployment but can also be leveraged by adversaries for execution and lateral movement.

Detects suspicious execution of "PDQDeployRunner" which is part of the PDQDeploy service stack that is responsible for executing commands and packages on remote machines. The rule specifically looks for PDQDeployRunner spawning suspicious child processes, executing commands with suspicious arguments, or executing from suspicious paths, which could indicate abuse for malicious purposes.

Detects PowerShell execution that includes base64 encoded WMI class names such as "Win32_ShadowCopy", "Win32_ScheduledJob", "Win32_Process", "Win32_UserAccount", or "Win32_LoggedOnUser" in the command line. This technique is often used by adversaries to obfuscate their actions and evade detection.
