Detects the assignment of high-privilege roles to cloud user accounts in Entra ID, AWS, or GCP when that assignment is preceded by anomalous sign-in behavior (high-risk or failed authentication) within 24 hours, or when the account appears to be dormant (no activity in 90+ days) prior to the privilege assignment.
This rule detects potential unauthorized account creation by correlating suspicious administrative activity on network edge devices (VPNs, firewalls) with subsequent local administrator account creation on an internal host within a one-hour window. This behavior is indicative of ransomware affiliates exploiting internet-facing infrastructure to gain initial access and escalate privileges.
Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows Defender security controls within a short time window. This includes PowerShell commands to modify Defender preferences (e.g., disabling Real-time Monitoring or adding exclusions), modifications to Defender-related registry keys, and attempts to stop or disable the WinDefend service.
KQL Query
Detects processes attempting to enumerate Active Directory objects (users, groups, trusts) while simultaneously establishing a network connection to Active Directory Web Services (ADWS) on port 9389. This behavior is characteristic of tools like SharpADWS, which performs AD enumeration via the ADWS protocol rather than traditional LDAP, potentially bypassing legacy detection mechanisms.
Detects the use of PowerShell Set-MpPreference commands to disable multiple Microsoft Defender security features, including real-time monitoring, behavioral scanning, and threat detection actions. This activity is consistent with ransomware behavior, such as Nova or The Gentlemen families, attempting to neutralize endpoint protection before proceeding with malicious actions like file encryption.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the command line contains suspicious patterns such as execution of common scripting engines (PowerShell, wscript, cscript), use of common staging directories (temp, appdata, programdata), or naming conventions that mimic legitimate Windows system tasks.
Detects potential lateral movement by identifying NTLM authentication (Logon Type 3) to administrative network shares (ADMIN$, C$, IPC$) or high-frequency access to multiple hosts by the same user, which may indicate credential abuse or lateral movement attempts.
Detects the execution of known Windows 'Living-off-the-Land' binaries (rundll32.exe, regsvr32.exe, mshta.exe) when they originate from web browsers or office productivity applications, or when they are executed with command-line arguments indicative of network resource loading, remote scripting, or code execution bypasses.
This rule detects instances of Kerberos Ticket-Granting Ticket (TGT) requests (Event IDs 4768 and 4769) that utilize the legacy RC4 encryption type (0x17). In modern Active Directory environments where AES is the standard for Kerberos, the use of RC4 can be a strong indicator of a Golden Ticket attack or other unauthorized ticket forging activities, as adversaries often force a downgrade to RC4 for easier offline cracking.
