Detects the PoisonedRefresh implant's UNIX domain socket backdoor by (1) file activity on the uniquely-named /run/bigtlog.pipe socket initiated by an Apache/httpd process, and (2) process command lines containing the implant's hardcoded authentication token. Removed the earlier generic 'bash spawned by httpd' heuristic, which fired on legitimate CGI/mod_php/admin automation that shells out from the web server and was the dominant false-positive source.
Detects anomalous remote interactive or network logons where the specific account and remote host/IP combination has not been observed in the previous 14 days. The rule correlates these new login events with subsequent process execution on the destination host within a short window (5 minutes) to identify potential lateral movement where an adversary uses valid credentials to log in and immediately execute commands.
This rule detects potentially malicious activity associated with removable media (USB drives) by identifying two distinct patterns: first, the creation of an 'autorun.inf' file on a removable drive followed by the execution of a script or executable from that same drive shortly after. Second, it identifies executables appearing on removable media that are launched across multiple distinct hosts within a one-hour window, which may indicate worm-like spreading or mass-malware distribution via portable storage.
This rule detects potential lateral movement activity by identifying executable or script files being written to administrative shares (C$ or ADMIN$) followed by the execution of a file with the same name on the destination device within 15 minutes. It includes logic to filter out known deployment/patch management service accounts and file names to reduce noise.
Detects the disabling of host-based firewalls (Windows Filtering Platform/Advanced Firewall, iptables, or nftables) via command-line tools. The rule excludes common management tools, system accounts, and events where the firewall is re-enabled within a short timeframe, effectively filtering for potentially unauthorized attempts to impair security defenses.
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.
Detects command-line execution of tools (route, netsh, sysctl) intended to modify host routing tables or enable IP forwarding. Such activity on workstation endpoints may indicate an attempt to bridge network segments, bypass network security boundaries, or facilitate lateral movement/C2 communications.
Detects high volumes of file renaming activities involving files with the .df_win extension. This pattern is often indicative of ransomware-like behavior where mass renaming occurs as part of an encryption process, impacting multiple directories.
Detects the creation of a shortcut file (.lnk) in the Windows Startup directory by the 'UpdateAssistant.exe' process. The rule specifically looks for evidence of a masquerading attempt where the shortcut appears to be an application update helper but potentially references or exhibits characteristics of being linked to a notepad execution, suggesting persistence via shortcut file manipulation.
Detects suspicious persistence mechanisms initiated by the 'wscl.exe' executable. The rule monitors for registry run key modifications, service installation via command-line arguments, and service creation events, specifically filtering for non-standard execution paths (outside of System32, SysWOW64, or Program Files).
