This rule detects the creation of a symbolic link (symlink) to a Volume Shadow Copy using the 'mklink' command-line utility. Adversaries often create symlinks to shadow copies to access and exfiltrate sensitive data, such as credential hashes from the Security Account Manager (SAM) database or the Active Directory database (NTDS.dit), without directly interacting with the live system files. This technique is commonly used as part of credential dumping activities.

This rule detects attempts to evade antivirus/EDR detection by piping the content of ntdll.dll to another file or a named pipe. This technique, as demonstrated in the 'NtdllPipe' proof-of-concept, involves using the 'type' command to read the contents of 'ntdll.dll' and redirecting its output, often to a named pipe, to bypass security controls that might monitor direct file access or execution of ntdll.dll.

This rule specifically looks for common Windows utilities and scripting engines being launched as child processes of a ClickOnce application, which could indicate an attempt to bypass security controls or execute further malicious actions.
