This rule detects an unusually high volume (10 or more within an hour) of file creations with extensions commonly associated with backup files (.backup, .bak, .old). This activity could indicate an adversary attempting to inhibit system recovery by creating numerous backup files, potentially to overwrite legitimate backups or to stage data for exfiltration or destruction.

This rule detects indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the Red Lamassu (JFMBackdoor) campaign. It identifies malicious file hashes, network communication with known command and control (C2) domains and IP addresses, specific file paths and names used by the malware, and registry modifications for persistence. The rule looks for file events, process creations, network connections, and registry changes that match the defined IOCs.

This rule detects suspicious file system enumeration activities that often precede ransomware encryption. It specifically looks for a high volume of command-line executions of 'dir /s', 'dir /r', or 'tree' commands within a short timeframe (5 minutes) on a single computer by a single account. These commands are commonly used by adversaries to discover files and directories before encrypting them.

Detects creation or manipulation of the ROTATE subdirectory within the Skylight Metrics Agent path by non-SYSTEM accounts. CVE-2026-7791 exploitation requires replacing the legitimate ROTATE directory with a junction point targeting the attacker's desired write location. The Skylight service then follows the junction during its log rotation, writing attacker-controlled files to the target with SYSTEM privileges. Any non-SYSTEM interaction with this specific path warrants investigation.

Auto-Color is a Linux backdoor that installs a malicious library libcext.so.2 and writes it to /etc/ld.preload so the library loads before all other executables. This allows the malware to hook libc functions and hide its C2 connections. This rule looks for modifications to ld.preload or the presence of libcext.so.2 in the library path. In plain terms, it catches when a backdoor is trying to make itself invisible by loading first and controlling what the system reports.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by identifying a high volume of file encryption events. It looks for files being renamed or created with common ransomware-related extensions such as '.locked', '.crypt', '.encrypted', '.enc', or a generic pattern of a 6 or more character alphanumeric extension. The rule then counts these events within one-hour bins and alerts if more than 20 such files are detected in a single folder path.

This query identifies devices and users where the compromised Nx Console VS Code extension version 18.95.0 was observed in the local VS Code extensions directory or referenced in process command-line activity. The detection focuses only on the affected version: nrwl.angular-console-18.95.0. This query combines two evidence sources: DeviceFileEvents (confirms file or folder activity related to the extension path) and DeviceProcessEvents (confirms execution or command-line reference involving the extension).
