Detects the placement of potentially malicious executable or script files onto a network share followed by the execution of that specific file path from a different host within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of lateral movement using tainted shared content.
Detects unauthorized modifications to critical authentication-related configuration files and registry keys. Specifically monitors changes to LSA security packages and notification packages on Windows systems, as well as PAM configuration file modifications on Linux systems, when performed by unsigned or untrusted processes outside of known installer activity.
This rule detects anomalous high-frequency, short-duration bursts of CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) traffic originating from external sources and targeting internal FortiGate devices. This behavior is indicative of automated exploitation attempts, specifically targeting known heap-grooming activities used in vulnerabilities like CVE-2023-27997, which rely on repetitive 'Add-Station' operations. Legitimate controller traffic is filtered by focusing on internal-to-internal communication patterns.
Detects repeated attempts to delete Volume Shadow Copies using WMIC. This is a common technique used by ransomware and other malware to prevent system recovery and inhibit forensic investigations. The rule filters out known backup agents and service accounts and identifies patterns where multiple distinct deletions occur within a 5-minute window.
This rule detects potentially malicious activity where multiple critical processes (such as database engines or email clients) are terminated in a short time frame, correlated with a high volume of file creation or modification events on the same device. This behavior is indicative of destructive activity, such as ransomware encrypting data stores or disabling defensive software.
Detects the Silver Fox HVNC malware dropper initiating browser instances via the command line to access known malicious C2 domains or infrastructure. The rule specifically monitors for known malicious binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe, AppUpdateHelper.exe, SysMaintenance.exe) launching browsers with suspicious command-line parameters associated with this campaign.
This rule detects behavior associated with Hidden Virtual Network Computing (HVNC) implants, which allow remote attackers to interact with a hidden desktop session on a compromised host. The rule specifically looks for processes that perform a sequence of sensitive Windows API calls—CreateDesktopA, SetThreadDesktop, BitBlt/GetDIBits (for screen capture), and SendInput (for input simulation)—when originating from suspicious, unsigned, or non-standard file paths, indicating potential malicious use rather than legitimate software.
This rule detects potentially malicious keylogging activity by identifying binaries named UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe that import keylogging-related APIs (GetAsyncKeyState/GetKeyboardState). To minimize false positives, the rule correlates these findings with suspicious metadata such as unsigned binaries, untrusted signers, or execution from non-standard directories like AppData subfolders or Temp.
Detects a specific adversary pattern termed 'Phantom Deal' where a user is socially engineered into disabling their VPN (by claiming a link won't open), followed immediately by a rapid succession of accesses to the same tracking or canary link from that user account. The rule correlates sign-in events indicating a shift in VPN or MFA context with subsequent bursts of URL clicks.
Detects anomalous GitLab project enumeration where an account performs an excessive number of requests to the Projects API using the 'membership=true' parameter within a one-hour window. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to discover all accessible repositories associated with a compromised or over-privileged GitLab token.
