This rule detects suspicious command-line flag combinations often used by tools like PsExec to execute commands with elevated privileges, specifically targeting 'system' or 'administrator' accounts. It looks for the presence of user-setting flags ('-u system', '--user system', '-u NT', etc.) combined with command execution flags ('-c cmd', '-c powershell', '-c whoami', etc.). This pattern is indicative of an attempt to escalate privileges or execute commands as a highly privileged user.
Detects a command that accesses the Volume Shadow Copy to extract sensitive files such as the Security or SAM registry hives or the Active Directory database (ntds.dit). This activity is often associated with credential dumping.
Detects the creation of new Windows services using either the 'sc.exe' command-line utility or the PowerShell 'New-Service' cmdlet. The rule specifically looks for suspicious binary paths associated with the newly created service, including common scripting interpreters (powershell, wscript, cscript, cmd), system binaries (svchost, dllhost, rundll32), and suspicious user-writable directories (Public, Downloads, Desktop, Startup, Temp). This activity is often indicative of persistence or privilege escalation attempts by adversaries.
Detects the execution of Sysinternals SDelete to overwrite a specific file, rather than its intended use of wiping free space or entire volumes. This activity is indicative of an adversary attempting to destroy data to prevent recovery or forensic analysis.
This rule detects the execution of "VMwareToolBoxCmd.exe" with specific command-line arguments ("script" and "set") that indicate an attempt to configure a script to run when a virtual machine changes state. This technique can be used by adversaries to establish persistence within a virtualized environment.
This rule detects the execution of 'where.exe' with command-line arguments that indicate an attempt to locate sensitive browser data files. Adversaries may use this technique to discover personal information, credentials, or internal network details stored by web browsers.
Detects the usage of winget to add new additional download sources. Adversaries may abuse this functionality to introduce malicious package repositories, potentially leading to the download and execution of unauthorized software or tools.
Detects attempts to add an insecure (HTTP) download source to Winget. While Winget is designed to prevent the addition of insecure sources, this activity could indicate an attempt to bypass security controls or a user error. This rule specifically looks for the execution of 'winget.exe' with 'source add' and 'http://' in the command line.
Detects suspicious child processes spawned by Windows Terminal (WindowsTerminal.exe or wt.exe). This rule identifies the execution of common Living Off The Land Binaries (LOLBins) like rundll32.exe, regsvr32.exe, certutil.exe, cscript.exe, wscript.exe, and csc.exe, as well as processes launched from suspicious user-controlled directories (e.g., Downloads, Desktop, Temp folders). Additionally, it flags command lines containing keywords often associated with malicious activity, such as PowerShell Invoke- and DownloadString, or common command shell execution parameters. This activity could indicate an adversary establishing persistence or executing malicious code via Windows Terminal.
This rule detects the usage of the Windows Package Manager (winget.exe) to install applications via a local manifest file. Adversaries can abuse winget to download and execute various types of payloads (e.g., .exe, .msi, .msix) from remote sources by providing a YAML manifest file directly to the client. This technique can be used for execution and defense evasion.
