Detects a user-writable parent process launching at least eight registry queries across four or more browser, credential, software, network, and uninstall areas within ten minutes. This behavior can indicate malicious activity, as adversaries often query the registry to gather system information, discover installed software, or identify persistence mechanisms.

Detects PowerShell execution initiated by Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools, specifically 'IDriveRemotePC.exe' or 'RemotePC.exe', when the PowerShell command line contains keywords indicative of downloading and executing remote content (e.g., 'DownloadString', 'IEX', 'Invoke-Expression', 'http', 'https', 'ftp'). This behavior is often associated with initial access or staging phases of an attack, such as ransomware deployment.

Detects the execution of VBScript or JScript files (via wscript.exe or cscript.exe) where the command line contains common VBScript argument handling keywords. This pattern can indicate malicious script execution attempting to parse arguments for further actions, potentially as part of a phishing attack or malware execution chain.
