This rule detects attempts to establish persistence and evade defenses by registering a new Subject Interface Package (SIP) provider. Attackers can modify specific registry keys related to cryptographic providers to redirect signature validation functions to malicious DLLs. This allows them to bypass application control mechanisms by making the system trust unsigned or malicious code as legitimately signed. The rule specifically looks for modifications to registry paths associated with Microsoft Cryptography Providers and OID EncodingType, where the 'Dll' or '$DLL' values are being set, while filtering out known legitimate SIP registrations by the OS or specific software like WINTRUST.DLL and mso.dll. It also filters out specific legitimate activity related to poqexec.exe and PsfSip.dll.

Detects attempts to tamper with Sophos antivirus functionality by modifying specific registry keys related to Tamper Protection. This rule looks for changes to 'SAVEnabled', 'SEDEnabled', or 'Enabled' keys within Sophos Endpoint Defense or SAVService paths, specifically when the value is set to '0x00000000' (disabled).

This rule detects User Account Control (UAC) bypass attempts by monitoring specific registry key modifications related to `sdclt.exe`. Attackers can manipulate these registry keys to hijack the execution flow of `sdclt.exe`, a legitimate Windows utility, to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges without triggering a UAC prompt. The rule specifically looks for modifications to `Software\Classes\exefile\shell\runas\command\isolatedCommand` or `Software\Classes\Folder\shell\open\command\SymbolicLinkValue` with a specific pattern indicating a UAC bypass technique.

This rule detects when the 'EnableLocalManifestFiles' setting for AppInstaller (winget) is activated in the Windows Registry. Enabling this setting allows users to install new packages using custom manifests, which could be abused by adversaries to install malicious software or achieve persistence.

Detects a threat actor creating a file named `wbemcomn.dll` in the `C:\Windows\System32\wbem\` directory over the network and loading it for a WMI DLL Hijack scenario. This specific rule focuses on `wmiprvse.exe` loading the hijacked `wbemcomn.dll`.

Detects network connections initiated by the Microsoft Equation Editor process (eqnedt32.exe). This activity is highly suspicious as eqnedt32.exe is not expected to make outbound network connections and is often exploited by adversaries to achieve code execution and establish C2 communications.

Detects a script interpreter (Wscript/Cscript) initiating a local network connection to download or execute a script hosted on a shared folder. This behavior can be indicative of an adversary attempting to transfer tools or execute scripts from internal network shares.

This rule detects outbound network connections initiated by the Windows Script Host interpreters, wscript.exe or cscript.exe, to non-local IP addresses. This behavior is often indicative of adversaries using scripts to download additional malicious payloads or establish command and control. The rule filters out connections to common private and loopback IP ranges to reduce false positives.
