Detects the execution of python.exe from within the C:\Users\Public\ directory. Adversaries often drop portable Python environments in globally writable directories to execute malicious scripts or malware without requiring a formal installation on the host.

Detects the Windows Installer service (msiexec.exe) spawning the command shell (cmd.exe) to execute specific scripts or commands (xupdate.bat or Traiolx). This pattern is often associated with software installers or malicious activity attempting to run commands via child processes spawned by system-level installers.

101
Detects instances where the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) initiates a command shell (cmd.exe) to execute a batch file located within the user's AppData roaming directory. This behavior is frequently associated with the deployment of malicious payloads or dropper scripts that leverage legitimate installers to maintain persistence or execute unauthorized code.

This rule detects the execution of specific utilities (e.g., 7zip components, socket modules) originating from a non-standard directory named 'AppData\Roaming\Traiolx Custom Utils'. This pathing pattern is indicative of potential malware staging or the execution of custom tooling in an attempt to masquerade as legitimate software.

001
This rule detects instances of the Python interpreter (python.exe) executing from the AppData\Roaming directory, which is a common persistence location for malware. It further correlates these process events with outbound network connections to external (non-private/non-RFC1918) IP addresses, identifying potential Command and Control (C2) or data exfiltration activity.

001
Detects instances where the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) initiates a command shell (cmd.exe) with suspicious command-line arguments, including references to batch files or execution from user-writable directories like AppData. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious payload execution or installation persistence attempts leveraging the msiexec utility.

Detects the LegionLoader infection chain, specifically identifying the use of dllhost.exe as a proxy to load malicious .cpl files or COM objects (e.g., COpenControlPanel) from AppData\Roaming. This rule correlates an initial msiexec.exe MSI staging event with the subsequent dllhost.exe execution and its child process spawn behavior within a 30-minute window.

001
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks' utility, initiated by suspicious parent processes (browsers, scripting engines, or common tools) or utilizing suspicious task actions (PowerShell, VBScript, etc.) in user-writable directories. Additionally, it flags tasks with high-frequency scheduling or persistence triggers paired with encoded or hidden command-line arguments, which are common indicators of malicious activity such as malware execution or persistence mechanisms.

Detects the execution of hidden shell scripts (.sh or .command) located within a mounted disk image (.dmg). This pattern is commonly used by macOS infostealers which masquerade as legitimate applications (such as Notion, Arc, or Raycast) to trick users into executing malicious code after mounting the deceptive installer.

005
Detects the execution of sensitive command-line tools or environment variables (e.g., AWS CLI, MCP tools, environment secrets) triggered by AI-based development assistants such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. This behavior may indicate an attacker abusing the permissions or capabilities of an AI coding assistant to perform unauthorized cloud discovery or credential access.

001
This rule detects potentially suspicious host reconnaissance activities by monitoring for frequent execution of system information gathering utilities (reg.exe, wmic.exe, systeminfo.exe) or registry queries against HKLM software hives. It identifies users or hosts performing an anomalous volume of these activities, which is often indicative of post-exploitation discovery efforts.

Detects the execution of 'aws sts get-caller-identity' by common IDEs or code editor helper processes. This activity is often used by adversaries to verify the current AWS identity and permissions after gaining access to a developer's workstation.

101
Detects the use of Node.js package managers (npm, node, npx) to execute 'install' commands in conjunction with the creation of specific Model Context Protocol (MCP) configuration files (.vscode/mcp.json, .amazonq/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json). This pattern may indicate the installation of potentially untrusted or malicious development extensions or AI-assistant integrations within common development environments.

Detects the execution of Lua interpreter binaries (LuaJit or lua) spawned from a specific process named 'HFY.exe', which is associated with the BeepRAT dropper. The rule also correlates this execution with suspicious raw disk read activity to identify potential in-memory payload loading or malicious interaction with system files.

Detects execution of potential BeepRAT shellcode loaders (tcc.exe or LuaJit.exe) using specific command-line arguments, as well as the creation of associated files (temp.bin, config.ini.c) or execution patterns initiated by HFY.exe.

This rule detects potentially malicious child processes spawned by Amazon Q or AWS Language Server components (e.g., amazon-q, aws-lsp-server). The rule specifically flags behavior associated with the loading of MCP server configurations, potential unauthorized access to AWS credentials, or network data exfiltration attempts through commonly abused binaries like shell interpreters, python, or curl/wget when these are not signed by Amazon.

001
Detects instances where common development runtime processes (e.g., node, python, shells) spawn child processes whose command lines contain references to sensitive credential environment variables such as AWS access keys, GitHub tokens, or SSH authentication sockets. This behavior often indicates that a developer or an automated tool is insecurely passing credentials via command-line arguments to subprocesses.

Detects the execution of AWS CLI commands by common scripting interpreters (Node.js or Python). This behavior is often indicative of automated cloud environment reconnaissance or credential testing using compromised access keys or instances.

This rule detects activities associated with the TaskWeaver JavaScript loader and its potential second-stage payload, Djinn Stealer. It monitors for JavaScript files (like jquery.js) being executed by Windows scripting hosts (wscript.exe, cscript.exe) or Node.js, identifies suspicious child process spawning behavior (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe, system reconnaissance tools) from these scripting engines, and flags outbound network connections by these processes to common web ports that may indicate command-and-control (C2) communication.
