Detects when explorer.exe modifies a .lnk file immediately after a suspicious process (e.g., LOLBAS) is launched by explorer.exe on the same host. This behavior is a forensic artifact of advanced LNK spoofing techniques (Variants 3 and 4 from the referenced research) where Windows "self-repairs" an internally inconsistent shortcut file after its first execution.

The following rule detects attempts to tamper with Linux log records by looking for interpreter processes, or common utility commands interacting with critical log files such as /var/log/wtmp, /var/log/btmp, or /var/run/utmp. It also includes scenarios where 'dd' or 'cp' might be used with /dev/null or /dev/zero to effectively clear or overwrite log content.

This rule detects the deployment and potential abuse of Velociraptor, a DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) tool. It identifies Velociraptor by monitoring file creation/modification in common installation paths and for its executable name, process execution, and the creation of suspicious child processes (like PowerShell, cmd, curl, wget) by Velociraptor. The rule also attempts to correlate these activities to determine the severity of the detection, indicating potential post-exploitation activity.

This rule detects various activities associated with the ClawdBot campaign, which uses a fake VS Code extension to drop the ScreenConnect RAT. Detection logic includes suspicious network activity fetching malicious payloads (config.json, lightshot files, zoomupdate.msi) from known malicious domains or Dropbox, identification of known malicious file hashes, outbound connections to ScreenConnect C2 servers on port 8041, creation or start of ScreenConnect services, file dropping/staging in temporary directories, and execution of Code.exe or ScreenConnect binaries from temporary paths.

This rule detects potential malware execution and persistence by correlating suspicious script and HTA activity with known malicious infrastructure. It flags mshta, wscript, and cscript executing remote HTA or script content, related network connections and downloads, temporary file artefacts, connections to listed suspicious domains and IPs, attempts to add Windows Defender exclusions, and fake browser update style process launches that retrieve executables over HTTP.

Detects indicators of compromise related to trojanized ScreenConnect installers and abuse of ScreenConnect C2 configuration. This rule identifies suspicious process executions of ScreenConnect components, known malicious hashes associated with ScreenConnect malware, ScreenConnect processes launched by installer executables (msiexec), network connections to ScreenConnect relay domains, DNS resolutions for ScreenConnect relays, modifications to 'system.config' files within ScreenConnect directories indicative of C2 configuration, and malicious registry artifacts related to ScreenConnect installation.
