Detects macOS launchd entries that are not part of the standard Apple system, which could indicate persistence mechanisms used by malware; it is an invalid rule due to a future date.
KQL Query
KQL Query
KQL Query from file: One-Click ANY RUN Storm-1747 KQL Scan
Detects potentially malicious or suspicious launchd entries that are not part of the default macOS system, often used for persistence. This rule is designed to be applied to Plaso output.
KQL Query
KQL Query from file: Detect LNK Stomping
KQL Query from file: Hunting chrome extension with hidden tracking
Detects the use of the "SET" internal command of Cmd.EXE with the /p flag followed directly by an "=" sign, often used with an append redirection operator ">>" to update file content indirectly. This technique can be used by attackers to append data to files, as demonstrated by the example: `cmd /c >> example.txt set /p="test data"` which appends "test data" to "example.txt". The rule specifically looks for `cmd.exe` executions containing `/c set /p=` or `"set /p=` or `>>*set /p=` in the command line.
'Adversaries may establish persistence and/or elevate privileges by executing malicious content triggered by accessibility features. Windows contains accessibility features that may be launched with a key combination before a user has logged in (ex: when the user is on the Windows logon screen). An adversary can modify the way these programs are launched to get a command prompt or backdoor without logging in to the system.
Two common accessibility programs are C:\Windows\System32\sethc.exe, launched when the shift key is pressed five times and C:\Windows\System32\utilman.exe, launched when the Windows + U key combination is pressed. The sethc.exe program is often referred to as "sticky keys", and has been used by adversaries for unauthenticated access through a remote desktop login screen. [1]

Attackers may change the file creation time of a backdoor to make it look like it was installed with the operating system.
Note that many processes legitimately change the creation time of a file; it does not necessarily indicate malicious activity.

'The query looks for source code files being modified immediately after a build process is started. The purpose of this is to look for malicious code injection during the build process.

Detects an unexpected file being modified by dns.exe which my indicate activity related to remote code execution or other forms of exploitation as seen in CVE-2020-1350 (SigRed)
This query looks for persistence or priviledge escalation done using Windows Accessibility features.
It covers some of the techniques that could be used to utilize these features for malicious purposes,.
Including attaching a debugger using a registry config or overwriting these files.
Note: some developers might use such hacks for all sort of troubleshooting and testing purposes,.
But this better be prohibited, as it allows any account with access to the machine to run processes as SYSTEM.

Intent:
- Use MTP capability to look for insider threat potential risk indicators
- Indicators would then serve as the building block for insider threat risk modeling in subsequent tools
Definition of Insider Threat:
"The potential for an individual who has or had authorized access to an organization's assets to use their access, either maliciously or unintentionally, to act in a way that could negatively affect the organization."
This collection of queries describes the different indicators that could be used to model and look for patterns suggesting an increased risk of an individual becoming a potential insider threat.
Note: no single indicator should be used as a lone determinant of insider threat activity, but should be part of an overall program to understand the increased risk to your organization's critical assets. This in turn is used to feed an investigation by a formal insider threat program to look at the context associated with the whole person to understand the implication of a set of indicators.

'This hunting query identifies GitHub activites where a repo was changed from private to public that may be a sign of compromise.'
This query identifies files that are copied to a device over SMB, then executed within a
specified threshold. Default is 5 seconds, but is configurable by tweaking the value for
ToleranceInSeconds.

The following analytic detects the use of the Windows binary attrib.exe to hide files or directories by marking them with specific flags. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line arguments that include the "+h" flag. This activity is significant because hiding files can be a tactic used by attackers to conceal malicious files or tools from users and security software. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to persist in the environment undetected, potentially leading to further compromise or data exfiltration.
This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, CVE-2020-0601 certificate validation vulnerability.
The Windows CryptoAPI Spoofing Vulnerability, CVE-2020-0601, can be exploited to spoof code-signing certificates. For example, an attacker could forge a certificate that lists Microsoft as the issuer. This would allow an attacker to disguise a malicious executable as legitimate.
The vulnerability was patched with the January 2020 Security Update.
Use the following query to locate files containing ECC certificates that might have been forged using this vulnerability. The query identifies files that don't correctly identify the signer name, yet list Microsoft as the root signer.
