This rule detects the presence of a plain text artifact in a common download scenario in PowerShell where the second required portion of the command is not present. This could be an attempt to obfuscate the script in order to evade detections.
KQL Query from file: Suspicious CLI Obfuscation
KQL Query from file: KQLObfusGuard - Detecting ArgFuscator Obfuscation

Detects the invocation of PowerShell commands with references to classes from the "System.Security.Cryptography" namespace.
The PowerShell namespace "System.Security.Cryptography" provides classes for on-the-fly encryption and decryption.
These can be used for example in decrypting malicious payload for defense evasion.

Detects the execution of obfuscated PowerShell commands that attempt to install MSI packages via the Windows Installer COM object (`WindowsInstaller.Installer`).
The technique involves manipulating strings to hide functionality, such as constructing class names using string insertion (e.g., 'indowsInstaller.Installer'.Insert(0,'W')) and correcting
malformed URLs (e.g., converting 'htps://' to 'https://') at runtime. This behavior is commonly associated with malware loaders or droppers that aim to bypass static detection
by hiding intent in runtime-generated strings and using legitimate tools for code execution. The use of `InstallProduct` and COM object creation, particularly combined with
hidden window execution and suppressed UI, indicates an attempt to install software (likely malicious) without user interaction.

This query will detect encoded powershell based on the parameters passed during process creation. This query will also work if the PowerShell executable is renamed or tampered with since detection is based solely on a regex of the launch string.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Sysrv botnet evolution.
Sysrv is a Go-based botnet that targets both Windows and Linux servers, and steals resources to mine cryptocurrency.
The following query finds instances of Apache Tomcat 8 being exploited to execute encoded PowerShell commands.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Python abuse on macOS
The Python programming language comes bundled with macOS. In threat intelligence gathered from macOS endpoints, we have observed numerous attacks run with EmPyre, a Python-based post-exploitation framework similar to PowerShell Empire for Windows.
The following query checks for Microsoft Office documents that run Python scripts.
