Detects a specific command line argument sequence used by the SNAKE malware during its installation phase, as detailed in a CISA report. The rule looks for a process creation event where the command line contains two specific arguments: the first is a 64-character hexadecimal string (assumed to be a SHA-256 hash), and the second is at least a 16-character hexadecimal string (assumed to be part of an AES initialization vector).

Detects a specific process tree pattern associated with Trickbot malware, where 'rundll32.exe' acts as the parent process for 'wermgr.exe', and the parent command line contains 'DllRegisterServer'. This pattern indicates the execution of a DLL via rundll32.exe, which then launches wermgr.exe, a known behavior of Trickbot.

Detects the creation of a file named "WerFault.exe" in the WinSxS directory by a non-system process. This activity is indicative of potential SNAKE malware persistence, as documented by the NSA and CISA. The rule specifically looks for file creations where the target filename starts with 'C:\Windows\WinSxS\' and ends with '\WerFault.exe', while excluding processes originating from standard Windows system directories to reduce false positives.

Detects the creation of specific executable files, 'jpsetup.exe' or 'jpinst.exe', which have been identified by CISA as indicators of SNAKE malware installation. The rule specifically looks for these filenames in the 'Image' field (process executable path) and excludes cases where the 'CommandLine' is empty or null, or explicitly matches the executable name, to reduce false positives.

This rule detects the execution of 'rundll32.exe' with specific command-line arguments and parent processes that are characteristic of Qakbot malware activity. It looks for 'rundll32.exe' being launched by common scripting or command-line interpreters (cmd.exe, cscript.exe, curl.exe, mshta.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, wscript.exe) and attempting to load DLLs from suspicious paths (ProgramData, Users\Public, AppData\Local\Temp, AppData\Roaming). Additionally, it specifically targets known export functions used by Qakbot, such as 'aslr', 'bind', 'DrawThemeIcon', 'GG10', 'GL70', 'jhbvygftr', 'kjhbhkjvydrt', 'LS88', 'Motd', 'N115', 'next', 'Nikn', 'print', 'qqqb', 'qqqq', 'RS32', 'Test', 'Time', 'Updt', 'vips', 'Wind', 'WW50', 'X555', 'XL55', 'xlAutoOpen', and 'XS88'. This combination of indicators aims to reduce false positives by focusing on behaviors uniquely associated with Qakbot.
