    Detects the initiation of PowerShell by the Windows Explorer process (explorer.exe), which is often indicative of malicious activity such as lateral movement or execution of scripts originating from user-triggered actions. The rule flags command lines containing obfuscated patterns, bypass arguments, or encoded commands.
