This rule detects scripts that load a driver and subsequently attempt to remove its associated service and source artifacts. It specifically looks for the presence of 'NtLoadDriver' API calls, 'sc delete' commands for service removal, 'reg delete' commands for registry cleanup, and references to specific filenames like 'fsdiskbit.sys' and 'msidiskserver', which are associated with the Sprysocks malware.
Detects the modification or termination of critical Windows security services using the Service Control utility (sc.exe). Attackers frequently disable Defender and associated security center services to allow undetected payload execution.

This rule correlates the creation and subsequent removal of a driver service within a 15-minute window. It specifically looks for registry events indicating the creation and deletion of a service key, where the service's image path ends with '.sys' or the key name contains 'msidiskserver'. This behavior is indicative of the transient driver-loading workflow used by SprySOCKS malware.
Detects inbound RPC calls to the Service Control Manager interface with operation numbers corresponding to service creation and modification, which may indicate lateral movement via remote service installation.

Detects attempts to query, stop, or disable the legacy UI0Detect (Interactive Services Detection) service using the 'sc.exe' utility. This behavior was observed in the Lotus Wiper destructive campaign to suppress interactive service warnings before wiping the system.
This KQL query detects suspicious service activities (installation, modification, or deletion) by comparing events with a curated list of known suspicious Windows services. It extracts service names and accounts from device events and joins them with an external CSV list of suspicious services to identify matches. The query aims to alert on the presence or manipulation of services commonly associated with malicious activity.
Directly prior to deploying Macaw ransomware in an organization, the attacker will run several commands designed to disable security tools and system recovery tools.
Identifies potential service tampering related to Microsoft Defender services.

The analytic detects the use of `sc.exe` to delete a Windows service. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data, focusing on process execution logs that capture command-line arguments. This activity is significant because adversaries often delete services to disable security mechanisms or critical system functions, aiding in evasion and persistence. If confirmed malicious, this action could lead to the termination of essential security services, allowing attackers to operate undetected and potentially escalate their privileges or maintain long-term access to the compromised system.
The analytic detects the deletion of service files on a Linux machine within system directories (e.g., /etc/systemd/, /lib/systemd/, /run/systemd/). This activity is significant because attackers may delete or modify services to disable security features, evade defenses, impair system functionality, or execute a destructive payload. Immediate investigation is required to determine the responsible process and user.
The analytic detects the deletion of a service from the Windows Registry under CurrentControlSet\Services. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel, specifically monitoring registry paths and actions related to service deletion. This activity is significant as adversaries may delete services to evade detection and hinder incident response efforts. If confirmed malicious, this action could disrupt legitimate services, impair system functionality, and potentially allow attackers to maintain a lower profile within the environment, complicating detection and remediation efforts.
The analytic detects changes in a Windows service's security descriptor where a new deny access control entry (ACE) has been added. It specifically looks for executions of 'sc.exe' with the 'sdset' flag, targeting any service, and including a deny ACE. Such modifications can be used by attackers to escalate privileges, disable security services, or blind defenses by preventing legitimate users or services from interacting with the modified service.
