Detects attempts to modify or disable the Windows Update service (wuauserv) using command-line utilities (sc.exe, cmd.exe, powershell.exe) in a context involving 'LockAppHost.exe'. This pattern is often associated with unauthorized attempts to tamper with security update mechanisms to prevent system patching.
Detects the use of 'schtasks.exe' to disable critical Windows Update or ExploitGuard Malware Removal tasks when initiated by 'LockAppHost.exe'. This behavior is highly irregular, as the LockAppHost process is typically associated with the Windows Lock Screen and should not be modifying security-related scheduled tasks.
Detects malicious network connections, file downloads, or process execution associated with the REVSTEALER malware campaign, which utilizes hijacked YouTube channels to distribute fake game-cheat videos that lure users into downloading 'resightloader.exe' from specific malicious domains.
Detects the loading of registry hives using the 'reg load' command. This technique is often associated with adversary attempts to manipulate the Windows registry, access sensitive data, or establish persistence, particularly when followed by actions executed in the SYSTEM context from the same process lineage.
Detects instances where WerFault.exe or WerMgr.exe, running with SYSTEM privileges, loads a DLL file from the Windows\System32 directory that was created within 10 minutes of the image load event. This behavior is indicative of potential DLL side-loading or hijack techniques used to achieve privilege escalation.
This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.
This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.
Detects the use of PowerShell commands to add directory exclusions to Windows Defender settings. Adversaries often use this technique to exclude directories in 'AppData' from being scanned by antivirus solutions to hide malicious activity, tools, or persistence mechanisms.
This rule detects the addition of specific suspicious executables to Windows Registry run keys. Adversaries use these keys to achieve persistence, ensuring that malicious programs execute automatically upon user logon.
Detects modifications to the Windows UserInitMprLogonScript registry value. This registry entry allows the execution of a logon script whenever a user logs into the system. Adversaries can abuse this mechanism to achieve persistence by pointing this value to a malicious executable or script, such as 'SoftManager.exe' in this specific detection context.
