Detects anomalous behavioral patterns where an AI agent process (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Aider) performs multi-category discovery of its own runtime environment, plugins, and host configuration. The rule identifies agents that trigger processes spanning at least three distinct discovery categories (Network, File/Plugin, Software, or System) within a short timeframe, indicating potential reconnaissance of agent-authorized capabilities and tools rather than standard host exploration. Covers T1082, T1518, T1083, T1016

Detects high or medium severity security alerts related to Kerberos Golden Ticket forgery, as identified by Microsoft Defender for Identity. This rule filters for specific alert names indicative of forged TGTs minted from the krbtgt account, excluding generic or informational ticket anomalies.

Detects a sequence of activity characteristic of lateral movement and credential theft: the deployment or execution of PsExec service followed by the use of Windows utilities (vssadmin, ntdsutil, esentutl) to perform Volume Shadow Copy-based extraction of the NTDS.dit database or SYSTEM hive on the same host.
Sweeps Defender Advanced Hunting telemetry for known Sauron Loader indicators: 5 malicious SHA256 hashes (MSI installer, rnp.dll loader, tdwp.dll decrypter, embedded RSA private/public key blobs) across file/process/image-load events, plus 4 C2 domains and their full URLs across network and DNS telemetry. No IP indicators were published in the source reporting (C2 is domain-based over HTTPS) — the IP bucket is intentionally omitted rather than filled with placeholder data.

Detects Sauron Loader stage-2 payload execution: a randomly-named file dropped in %TEMP% and executed within 5 minutes by a native launcher (rundll32/regsvr32/msiexec/cmd/powershell/wscript). Scoped to devices that already show the confirmed rnpkeys.exe side-load from ProgramData\keyroll, turning a very noisy fleet-wide 'temp file executed by native binary' heuristic (matches countless legitimate installers/updaters) into a targeted next-stage check on hosts with corroborated Sauron Loader activity. Also fixes an unused/dead variable and an ambiguous post-join column reference.
Detects creation of the 'keyroll' scheduled task used to relaunch the Sauron Loader DLL side-loading chain. Requires the schtasks.exe command line to both reference the 'keyroll' task name AND explicitly reference the ProgramData\keyroll path or rnpkeys.exe (ruling out unrelated tasks that happen to be named 'keyroll', e.g. legitimate key-rotation automation), and requires an INNER join corroborating an actual rnpkeys.exe relaunch from that path within 24h — a lone task-creation event with no follow-on relaunch no longer alerts.
Detects the Sauron Loader vishing chain: a mailbox hit by a high-volume, high-distinct-sender email bombing burst (raised from 20 to 50 emails/hour and now requiring 15+ distinct senders, to exclude single-sender retry loops or broken automation), followed within 2 hours by the same user launching Quick Assist or AnyDesk — consistent with an attacker posing as IT support after the flood. Also fixes a schema bug where EmailEvents was queried with TimeGenerated instead of Timestamp, and a post-join column reference bug.
