Detects the use of common archive utilities (7-Zip, WinRAR) to perform file archiving operations within sensitive user-profile directories (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.). This pattern is often used by adversaries to stage or bundle sensitive data prior to exfiltration.

Detects instances where the Windows binary fodhelper.exe spawns various shell or utility processes. This behavior is a common indicator of a User Account Control (UAC) bypass attack, where the attacker leverages the auto-elevation property of fodhelper.exe to execute arbitrary commands with higher privileges.

This rule detects the use of the 'powercfg.exe' utility by non-system accounts to modify power settings, such as disabling hibernation, modifying standby/sleep timeouts, or changing monitor/disk timeout configurations. Such actions can be indicative of attempts to maintain system availability, prevent the system from entering a low-power state that might terminate malicious processes, or ensure persistent execution of unauthorized activities.

Detects instances where common browser processes or Windows Explorer initiate suspicious child processes like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or mshta.exe. The rule uses a scoring mechanism based on the presence of encoded command indicators, web-related payloads, or specific HTA script arguments to identify potentially malicious activity such as drive-by downloads or living-off-the-land execution.

003
This rule detects the use of common cloud command-line interfaces (Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and AWS CLI) to perform resource discovery, specifically identifying commands used to list virtual machines or describe EC2 instances. Such activity, if performed by an unexpected user or on an endpoint where cloud management tools are not typically installed, may indicate reconnaissance by an adversary.

Detects ClickFix social engineering attacks where users are tricked into pasting and executing a malicious script from a fake CAPTCHA page. The technique results in a browser process spawning powershell.exe, cmd.exe, wscript.exe, or mshta.exe as a child process to launch the first-stage loader.

Detects the execution of regsvr32.exe with command-line arguments that attempt to load and execute a remote scriptlet (SCT file) via a URL. This technique is often used to bypass application control and proxy the execution of arbitrary code using the trusted regsvr32.exe binary.

Detects the execution of PowerShell commands intended to disable or bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI). This is achieved by referencing internal AMSI methods such as 'AmsiUtils', 'amsiInitFailed', or 'amsi.dll' within command line arguments, typically used to neutralize endpoint security scanning during malicious script execution.
