Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows Defender security controls within a short time window. This includes PowerShell commands to modify Defender preferences (e.g., disabling Real-time Monitoring or adding exclusions), modifications to Defender-related registry keys, and attempts to stop or disable the WinDefend service.
Detects attempts to disable, stop, or reconfigure security software (Antivirus, EDR, Endpoint Protection) on Windows endpoints by abusing legitimate administrative utilities such as sc.exe, net.exe, taskkill.exe, wmic.exe, and PowerShell to tamper with service configurations or kill security-related processes.
Detects a suspicious pattern of mass security process termination, where a process masquerading as legitimate consumer or gaming software (e.g., Kaspersky, Valorant, Javelin) repeatedly uses commands like taskkill, sc stop, or NtTerminateProcess to disable EDR agents and antivirus software within a short time window. This behavior is indicative of pre-ransomware staging activities used by threat actors.
Detects modifications to the 'PlugPlay' Windows service using 'sc.exe', specifically involving changes to the binary path (binpath) and subsequent service status changes (start/stop) within a short timeframe (30 minutes). This behavior is often associated with the persistence or hijacking of services to execute malicious files, specifically targeting Microsoft Office or Copilot-related process names.
Detects attempts to disable security services (Windows Defender, EDR agents), modify audit policies via auditpol, or stop/clear the Windows Event Log service. This behavior is a common precursor to post-compromise activity intended to blind defenders and conceal malicious actions.
Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender settings (e.g., disabling real-time monitoring, adding exclusions, or stopping services) using the Set-MpPreference cmdlet or service control commands. This technique is frequently utilized by ransomware actors, such as the ALPHV/BlackCat group, to neutralize security protections prior to executing malicious payloads.
Detects a sequence of suspicious activities on a Windows host aimed at inhibiting system recovery, such as deleting shadow copies, modifying boot recovery configurations, deleting backup catalogs, or stopping security and backup-related services. This rule aggregates distinct categories of these actions by DeviceId and Account to identify potential malicious intent characteristic of ransomware or data destructive attacks.
Detects the use of the sc.exe command-line utility to stop or disable the Microsoft Defender Antivirus service (WinDefend). This activity is often associated with ransomware, such as Nova ransomware, to bypass security controls prior to malicious encryption or data destruction.
Detects attempts by an adversary to disable or clear Windows Event logs using standard administrative utilities such as wevtutil, PowerShell, auditpol, net, sc, or wmic to cover tracks or hinder forensic analysis.
Detects suspicious administrative activity involving privileged users performing bulk account/object deletions or stopping critical identity-related services (ADFS, Active Directory Certificate Services). The rule specifically flags events occurring outside standard business hours, involving privileged AD groups, or directly targeting identity infrastructure, indicating a potential attempt to disrupt authentication services or sabotage identity management.
Detects a sequence of suspicious activities on a Windows host aimed at inhibiting system recovery, such as deleting shadow copies, modifying boot recovery configurations, deleting backup catalogs, or stopping security and backup-related services. This rule aggregates distinct categories of these actions by DeviceId and Account to identify potential malicious intent characteristic of ransomware or data destructive attacks.
Detects a sequence of suspicious activities on a Windows host aimed at inhibiting system recovery, such as deleting shadow copies, modifying boot recovery configurations, deleting backup catalogs, or stopping security and backup-related services. This rule aggregates distinct categories of these actions by DeviceId and Account to identify potential malicious intent characteristic of ransomware or data destructive attacks.
Detects a sequence of suspicious activities on a Windows host aimed at inhibiting system recovery, such as deleting shadow copies, modifying boot recovery configurations, deleting backup catalogs, or stopping security and backup-related services. This rule aggregates distinct categories of these actions by DeviceId and Account to identify potential malicious intent characteristic of ransomware or data destructive attacks.
This rule detects attempts by an attacker to disable or modify Windows security software and features. It monitors for three distinct behaviors: execution of 'Set-MpPreference' to modify Windows Defender settings (exclusions or real-time monitoring), execution of 'sc.exe' to stop security-related services (such as EDR or AV services), and direct modification of Windows registry keys to disable Windows Defender components.
Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender features via PowerShell, terminate critical security services using administrative tools like sc.exe or net.exe, or inject/patch AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) within a process context to evade detection.
This rule detects attempts to impair or disable security defenses on Windows systems. It specifically monitors for three categories of malicious behavior: PowerShell-based AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) bypass techniques, commands to stop security-related services (e.g., Windows Defender, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike Falcon), and the use of 'reg' or 'PowerShell' to modify registry keys associated with disabling antivirus or real-time monitoring.
Detects bulk or repeated attempts to stop security-related services and processes (such as EDR or AV agents) or modification of Windows Defender registry keys. This behavior is indicative of a pre-encryption phase in ransomware attacks where adversaries attempt to neutralize endpoint defenses.
Detects the use of common administrative tools (vssadmin, wbadmin, wmic, bcdedit, etc.) to perform actions that inhibit system recovery. This includes deleting Volume Shadow Copies, deleting backup catalogs, disabling system recovery boot policies, and stopping backup-related services, which are common behaviors used by ransomware to prevent data restoration.
Detects the stopping or modification of critical security and backup services on Windows endpoints. This behavior often indicates an attempt by an adversary to impair defensive capabilities or disable logging to facilitate malicious activity.
Detects unauthorized attempts to disable or modify Windows Firewall settings across multiple devices. The rule identifies suspicious registry modifications, firewall service termination events, or security policy changes that suggest an adversary is attempting to impair defensive mechanisms.
Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender features via PowerShell, terminate critical security services using administrative tools like sc.exe or net.exe, or inject/patch AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) within a process context to evade detection.
