This rule detects attempts to disable PowerShell history logging via an SSH connection. It specifically looks for the strings "Set-PSReadlineOption" and "HistorySaveStyle" within TCP traffic destined for port 22 (SSH). This activity is indicative of an attacker trying to cover their tracks by preventing their PowerShell commands from being recorded.

Detects the execution of nested, hidden, and bypassed PowerShell sessions spawned by cmd.exe, typically launched from a Startup LNK file. This behavior is associated with the SHADOW-EARTH-066 campaign, which uses specific command-line arguments for evasion and loads payloads from C:\ProgramData\ using Invoke-Expression or iex.

This rule detects attempts to hijack the clipboard on a web page by identifying HTTP responses (flow:to_client) that contain both 'clipboardData' and 'setData' (case-insensitive) in the file data. This combination of keywords suggests a script attempting to read from and write to the client's clipboard, which is a common technique for clipboard hijacking.

This rule detects suspicious process creation events where Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) are the initiating process, but the created process is not another Office application. Instead, the created process is a command-line interpreter or scripting host like PowerShell, cmd.exe, cscript, wscript, or mshta. This behavior is often indicative of initial access techniques involving malicious Office documents that execute scripts or commands.

This rule detects suspicious process creations where common system processes (svchost.exe, explorer.exe, lsass.exe, winlogon.exe) act as parent processes for scripting or command-line interpreters (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, cscript.exe, wscript.exe) and the child process runs with a low or untrusted integrity level. This pattern can indicate process injection or other forms of malicious execution where an attacker attempts to hide their activity by masquerading as legitimate system processes.

This rule detects suspicious execution of common scripting interpreters (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, cscript.exe, wscript.exe, python.exe) from temporary directories (Temp, AppData, %TEMP%). A high count (5 or more) of such events within an hour for a given computer and account is considered suspicious, indicating potential malicious activity like malware execution or persistence.

This rule detects suspicious command-line activity involving 'cscript' or 'wscript' (Windows Script Host) combined with keywords like 'download', 'execute', or 'powershell'. A high count of such events (3 or more within 5 minutes) from the same computer and account is flagged, indicating potential exploit kit activity, malicious script execution, or initial access attempts.

Detects PowerShell commands using XOR operations together with execution primitives that may indicate obfuscated in-memory payload decoding. Specifically looks for 'powershell.exe' executing with '-bxor', '81', and either 'IEX' or 'Invoke-Expression' in the command line.

Detects process execution indicative of the npm binding.gyp GYP shell expansion exploit used in the Miasma campaign to silently run node. This rule specifically looks for Node.js process executions with a command line matching a unique regex pattern associated with the exploit: 'node index.js > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo stub.c'.

Detects wscript.exe executing a JavaScript file from a user directory and subsequently spawning a PowerShell process with execution policy bypass (-nop) and encoded command (-enc) flags. This pattern is used by JS.MonoGlyphRAT to decrypt and execute AES-encrypted payloads while evading static analysis.

Detects the execution of the initial fingerprinting PowerShell script utilized by the PhantomRelay RAT. PhantomRelay is a custom Remote Access Trojan associated with the Russia-nexus threat group GREYVIBE. The script gathers system information such as computer name, username, and PID, using a hardcoded User-Agent string before connecting to the C2 server.

Detects the execution of the LegionRelay client script, a PowerShell RAT utilized by the Russia-nexus threat group GREYVIBE. LegionRelay communicates with its command-and-control server via REST API methods and relies on operator-staged scripts for post-compromise activity. The detection matches on specific REST API paths and PowerShell artifacts found within the script block.
