This rule detects attempts to dump credentials from the Windows Credential Manager using PowerShell. It specifically looks for the use of known PowerShell functions or code patterns associated with credential dumping tools or techniques. This includes functions like 'Get-PasswordVaultCredentials' and 'Get-CredManCreds', as well as the instantiation of .NET objects related to 'Windows.Security.Credentials.PasswordVault' or specific CSharpCodeProvider patterns often used in reflective loading or dynamic compilation for credential access.

Detects PowerShell script block logging (Event ID 4104) entries that indicate the use of Invoke-Obfuscation's COMPRESS obfuscation technique. This technique typically involves using 'new-object' with 'text.encoding::ascii' and 'system.io.compression.deflatestream' or 'system.io.streamreader' followed by 'readtoend' to decompress and execute obfuscated code.

This rule detects the execution of PowerShell commandlets and functions associated with the Nishang exploitation framework. Nishang is a collection of PowerShell scripts and functions that enable penetration testers to use PowerShell for offensive security tasks. The rule specifically looks for a comprehensive list of known Nishang commandlet names and arguments within PowerShell script block logs. Detection of these strings indicates potential malicious activity, including credential dumping, persistence mechanisms, exfiltration, and remote code execution.
