This rule detects potential ransomware activity by identifying a combination of three distinct behaviors occurring on a single endpoint within a short window: high-volume file modifications (indicative of file encryption), deletion of system recovery resources (e.g., volume shadow copies, backup catalogs), and high-frequency network activity (indicative of data exfiltration). The rule uses cross-event correlation to reduce false positives by requiring all three signals to be present.
This rule detects suspicious file activity indicative of Prinz Eugen ransomware. It looks for the creation of multiple files (100 or more) with the '.prinzeugen' extension and a file size of at least 1KB, which suggests encryption activity.
This rule detects potential ransomware activity by identifying the rapid encryption of multiple common document and database file types, indicated by the '.prinzeugen' extension. It specifically looks for at least 20 such files being created or modified within a 10-minute window on a single device.
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events indicative of ransomware activity, specifically the Prinz Eugen ransomware. It looks for the execution of common file compression utilities (7z.exe, rar.exe, WinRAR.exe, winzip.exe) followed by the execution of known ransomware encryption executables (servertool.exe, encrypt.exe) on the same device within a 30-minute window. This pattern suggests that an attacker is compressing files before encrypting them, a common tactic to reduce the size of data for faster encryption or exfiltration.
This rule detects suspicious process activity indicative of ransomware, specifically Prinz Eugen. It identifies processes named 'servertool.exe', 'encrypt.exe', or 'lock.exe' that interact with common user directories ('Users', 'OneDrive', 'Downloads', 'Documents') and are observed at least 3 times within a 15-minute window on a single device, suggesting a recursive encryption pattern.
This rule detects potential ransomware lateral movement patterns by correlating specific network connection attempts (SMB/RDP/RPC) with the observed creation of files having the '.prinzeugen' extension on the same host within a 2-hour window. This behavior is indicative of a ransomware strain propagating across the network and performing encryption.
Detects a sequence of events where ManageEngine or IDrive remote monitoring software is followed within 120 minutes by the execution of potential staging or encryption-related tools (servertool.exe or encrypt.exe) on the same device. This pattern may indicate the abuse of legitimate administrative tools for unauthorized activities or ransomware-like behavior.
Detects file creation or renaming events indicative of BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware encryption activity. The rule looks for specific file name patterns and extensions associated with this ransomware, such as '.blackcat', '.b1ack', '.alphv', or '.encrypted', and triggers if 20 or more such files are observed within a 5-minute window on a single device.
This rule detects the creation or modification of files with the '.prinzeugen' extension, which is indicative of the Prinz Eugen ransomware. It specifically looks for these files in common user directories such as 'Users', 'Documents', 'Downloads', and 'Desktop' within the last hour, suggesting recent ransomware activity.
Detects file creation or renaming events indicative of BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware encryption activity. The rule looks for specific file name patterns and extensions associated with this ransomware, such as '.blackcat', '.b1ack', '.alphv', or '.encrypted', and triggers if 20 or more such files are observed within a 5-minute window on a single device.
Payload Ransomware File Artifacts
Cortex XDR
Detects the creation of files with the .payload extension or the RECOVER_payload.txt ransom note, indicating active encryption by Payload ransomware.
This rule detects potential ransomware activity by identifying rapid bulk file modifications or renames that result in files adopting extensions commonly associated with ransomware encryption. It looks for a high volume of file events (creation, modification, rename) within a short timeframe (1 hour) where the new file extensions match a predefined list of ransomware-specific extensions.
This rule detects an unusual number of successful encryption-related operations performed by a single caller within a one-hour window in Azure Activity logs. This could indicate legitimate bulk administrative tasks or potentially malicious activity such as data encryption for impact (e.g., ransomware) or preparation for exfiltration by an attacker.
This rule flags a large number of files receiving a '.lalia' extension at once, indicating potential Lalia ransomware activity. Bulk extension changes are a common initial indicator of ransomware infection. The rule looks for at least 20 file events (renamed, created, or modified) where the file name ends with '.lalia' within a 30-day window.
This rule detects a single process creating a large number of files with diverse file types within a short time frame (5 minutes). This behavior can be indicative of malicious activity such as ransomware encrypting files, data staging for exfiltration, or malware dropping multiple components.
Detects the creation or renaming of files to append the .nspire extension, a direct indicator of NightSpire ransomware encryption activity.
This rule detects suspicious file activity indicative of ransomware by monitoring for a high volume of file creations or renames where the filenames contain common ransomware-related extensions such as '.encrypted', '.locked', or '.ransom'. It aggregates these events over a one-hour period per device and triggers if 20 or more such events occur.
This rule detects potential ransomware activity by monitoring for a high volume of file creation or renaming events where the new file names end with common ransomware extensions such as '.encrypted', '.locked', or '.crypted'. It aggregates these events over 5-minute intervals and triggers if 50 or more such files are observed on a single device.
This rule detects a single process creating a large number of files with diverse file types within a short time frame (5 minutes). This behavior can be indicative of malicious activity such as ransomware encrypting files, data staging for exfiltration, or malware dropping multiple components.
This rule detects suspicious file renaming activities indicative of ransomware. It specifically looks for files that previously had common document extensions (.doc, .xls, .ppt) being renamed to extensions commonly associated with encryption by ransomware (.encrypted, .locked, .crypted, .ecc). The rule triggers if 20 or more such renames occur within a 5-minute window on a single device.
This rule detects a pattern indicative of ransomware encrypting files over SMB. It specifically looks for TCP traffic on port 445 (SMB) within the home network, containing the byte sequence '|FF|SMB'. A threshold of 500 such events from a single source IP within 30 seconds triggers the alert, classifying it as trojan activity.
