This rule detects the creation, modification, or renaming of 'ntdll.dll' within a specific directory path matching the pattern 'ShieldCrash_{GUID}'. This pattern is indicative of potential malicious activity, such as the use of NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) for persistence or execution evasion. The rule explicitly excludes known legitimate system processes that may handle DLL files to minimize noise.

Detects the creation or renaming of files with an 'ELAM' (Early Launch Anti-Malware) naming convention pattern outside of standard system driver directories, performed by processes that are not verified Microsoft-signed binaries. This may indicate an attempt to install or masquerade as a boot-start driver for persistence or subverting security controls.

Detects rapid deletion and creation cycles of the WD_SCAN object manager link, a behavioral pattern associated with a Time-of-Check-to-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) exploit chain targeting Windows Defender (referenced as CVE-2026-69414). The rule monitors for at least three cycle events occurring within a 5-second window, specifically involving the 'WD_SCAN' object identifier.

Detects high-frequency TCP/445 connection attempts (a 'connect sweep') characteristic of automated SMB share enumeration, which is commonly used for lateral movement reconnaissance. The rule triggers when a threshold of 40 connection requests occurs from a single source within a 30-second window, specifically targeting SMB-related lateral movement behaviors.

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.
