This rule detects attempts to modify macOS Plist files over an SSH connection. Specifically, it looks for TCP traffic on port 22 (SSH) where the payload contains both '/Library/Preferences/' and '.plist' (case-insensitive). This activity is flagged as potential defense evasion, as modifying Plist files can be used to alter system behavior or application settings to evade security mechanisms.

Detects the creation of the '.bun_ran' run-once marker in a temporary directory or suspicious Python '.pth' startup hooks (e.g., 'langchain_core-setup.pth') indicative of the Hades loader variant. The '.bun_ran' file acts as a marker for the loader, while '.pth' files can be used to inject malicious code into Python's import mechanism, achieving persistence or execution.

This rule finds an npm package whose main index.js file was swapped for a much larger obfuscated version. Maintainers may not notice a silent replace during a compromise. Compare package hashes to known good releases. Ask the person who used the computer whether they installed new software or clicked a link, and involve your security team if the answer is unclear.

Detects the creation or modification of files with specific names known to be associated with Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups. This rule identifies potential APT activity by monitoring for the presence of these highly suspicious file names on endpoints.

This rule identifies accounts that create or modify 10 or more files, each larger than 200MB, within a one-hour period. This behavior can be indicative of data exfiltration, staging of large files, or other suspicious bulk file operations.

This rule detects network traffic containing the string ".bashrc" on TCP port 22 (SSH). This could indicate an attempt to modify a user's shell profile for persistence, as .bashrc is a common file used to configure the Bash shell environment and can be leveraged by attackers to execute malicious commands upon login.

This rule detects network traffic over SMB (port 445) containing the string "SCRNSAVE.EXE" in a case-insensitive manner. This is indicative of a potential persistence mechanism where the screensaver executable has been replaced with a malicious one, and its name is being transmitted over the network, possibly during file transfer or command and control activities. The rule specifically looks for traffic flowing to the server on an established connection.

This rule detects attempts to modify the SSH daemon configuration file (sshd_config) remotely over an established TCP connection to port 22. The detection is based on the presence of the string "sshd_config" within the network flow, indicating potential remote manipulation of SSH authentication settings.

This rule detects attempts to write or modify cron persistence entries via HTTP. Specifically, it looks for HTTP client body content containing the string "/etc/cron" (case-insensitive). This indicates a potential attacker trying to establish persistence on a Linux system by scheduling malicious tasks.

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 the creation, modification, or renaming of files associated with PCPJack/TeamPCP malware on Linux systems. It specifically looks for these activities in common temporary directories (`/tmp/`, `/dev/shm/`, `/var/tmp/`) and for files with names matching known PCPJack/TeamPCP artifacts (e.g., `pcpcat`, `teampcp`, `xmrig`, `proxy.sh`, `kube.py`, `.pcpx`, `.pcp`) or hidden files (starting with a dot). This activity often indicates the initial staging or persistence mechanisms of the malware.

This rule detects attempts to modify web server files, specifically 'index.html' within a 'wwwroot' directory, over the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. The detection is based on the presence of these strings in network traffic directed to port 445 (SMB) on the internal network. This activity could indicate an attacker attempting to deface a web server or inject malicious code.

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.

Monitors for network connections originating from the VSCode extension host process to GitHub API endpoints immediately following a new extension installation. This may indicate token exfiltration or repository enumeration from a malicious extension.
