Detects the execution of PowerShell with execution policy bypass flags that simultaneously attempts to use curl.exe and Copy-Item to interact with suspicious remote domains or obfuscated command line arguments, potentially indicating a malicious payload delivery and staging attempt.
Detects instances where a GitLab runner process (gitlab-runner.exe) spawns a PowerShell process with arguments typically used to execute scripts while bypassing security restrictions, such as -NoProfile, -NonInteractive, -ExecutionPolicy, and Bypass. This pattern is indicative of automated task execution or potential abuse if the runner environment is compromised.
Detects signs of malicious activity involving specific files (StreamServiceSharedBridge.ps1, ComponentTask33Agent) and behaviors, including PowerShell execution, scheduled task creation, script execution via wscript, and registry run key modification. These behaviors are indicative of persistence mechanisms and potentially suspicious command execution.
Detects the use of PowerShell to delete .js files located within the 'Downloads' directory. This behavior is commonly associated with cleanup of dropped malicious payloads or script-based malware artifacts.
Detects suspicious PowerShell command lines indicative of process termination or abnormal enumeration of .NET Framework process directories via WMI. This includes using Stop-Process against specific proxy execution binaries or using Get-CimInstance to inspect sensitive .NET framework directory structures, which may be associated with process hollowing or security product interference.
Detects the execution of PowerShell scripts that use Invoke-Expression and Invoke-RestMethod in combination with specific suspicious domains, file extensions, or indicators of web-based payload retrieval. This pattern is commonly used for staging and executing malicious payloads directly from the internet.
Detects the execution of PowerShell scripts containing specific obfuscation or encoding patterns. The rule identifies potential malicious intent by searching for hardcoded suspicious strings or common binary-to-string conversion methods used to hide script content from security monitoring.
Detects PowerShell instances executing 'Stop-Process' against known living-off-the-land binaries (LotLBin) or PowerShell processes explicitly terminating these specific binaries. This behavior is often associated with process hollowing, anti-forensics, or attempts to clear space for malicious code injection by terminating security or system-related tools.
Detects the use of PowerShell to perform a web request to google.com to download a file named Document.pdf, followed by the immediate execution of that downloaded file using Start-Process.
Detects instances where powershell.exe appears to be launched by explorer.exe via parent process ID (PPID) spoofing. The rule identifies processes where the reported parent explorer.exe was created at or after the child powershell.exe, or within a suspiciously short timeframe, indicating that the parent PID association is likely fraudulent rather than a genuine explorer-initiated shell.
Detects the execution of obfuscated PowerShell commands (using -EncodedCommand, -WindowStyle Hidden, and -NonInteractive or -NoProfile flags) spawned by a process located within an Electron application's AppData directory. This pattern is commonly associated with malicious scripts or post-exploitation activities launched by Electron-based applications, excluding the Windows shell (explorer.exe).
This rule detects instances where PowerShell is launched with hidden window arguments by explorer.exe or mshta.exe, and the command line indicates interactions with specific file extensions (.vbs, .ps1) located within the AppData directory. This pattern is often indicative of malicious script execution, such as those used in Konni malware campaigns to drop and execute payloads.
Detects execution of PowerShell commands indicative of the VelvetCake variant of the Konni malware. The rule identifies the use of 'Net.WebClient.DownloadString' combined with 'Invoke-Expression' (iex) to execute scripts in memory, alongside specific command-line indicators such as the 'Areyou=cake' campaign marker or associated C2 domains.
Detects the execution of PowerShell commands that leverage specific tooling for scheduled task enumeration, commonly used for discovery or persistence management. The rule flags usage of 'Get-AccessibleScheduledTask' in conjunction with flags associated with tools like NtObjectManager or OleViewDotNet.
This rule detects suspicious PowerShell activity involving the enumeration and manipulation of COM objects and .NET assemblies, patterns often associated with reconnaissance or post-exploitation activities. It flags instances where PowerShell scripts utilize specific command-line arguments (e.g., Get-ComDatabase, Get-ComClass, Import-Win32Module, NtObjectManager) in conjunction, suggesting automated discovery of COM infrastructure or assembly loading.
Detects the use of OleViewDotNet or NtObjectManager PowerShell tools to enumerate running COM host processes (e.g., dllhost.exe) and check for the absence of specific security mitigations like EOAC_NO_CUSTOM_MARSHAL or COMGLB_UNMARSHALING_POLICY_STRONG. This behavior is indicative of reconnaissance activity aimed at identifying targets for fake-marshaled CoGetInstanceFromIStorage exploit chains.
Detects the execution of PowerShell with suspicious command-line arguments (e.g., WebClient, hidden flags, or WebDAV paths) spawned directly from browser processes like chrome.exe or msedge.exe. This pattern is commonly associated with fileless delivery techniques where an attacker attempts to download and execute scripts directly from an internet-facing source.
Detects the execution of PowerShell commands intended to gather system information, such as OS details, boot time, or video controller configurations. These techniques are often used during the discovery phase to profile a target machine before further malicious actions.
Detects active attempts to disable or interfere with security products, including EDR agents and antivirus software. The rule monitors for the use of 'sc.exe' to stop or reconfigure services, 'taskkill' to terminate security-related processes, and PowerShell commands utilizing 'Set-MpPreference' to modify Windows Defender real-time protection settings. These actions are frequently observed as a precursor to ransomware deployment or other malicious activities designed to evade detection.
Detects suspicious PowerShell execution patterns involving encoded commands, hidden window styles, or common download cradles combined with code obfuscation techniques. This rule monitors PowerShell ScriptBlock Logging (Event ID 4104) for combinations of indicators often used by threat actors to evade detection, such as Base64-encoded strings, hidden execution flags, network download utilities, and script obfuscation techniques.
Detects PowerShell processes using the .NET System.IO.File methods (SetLastWriteTime, SetCreationTime, SetLastAccessTime) to modify file timestamps, a common anti-forensic technique to obfuscate file creation or modification times.
