Detects suspicious child processes spawned by web servers, indicating potential webshell activity used for credential dumping, exfiltration, or other post-exploitation actions. The rule looks for specific command-line patterns and executables commonly associated with these malicious activities originating from known web server processes.

This rule detects suspicious command-line activity originating from common web server processes, indicative of web shell usage for reconnaissance and system interaction. It looks for specific utilities and command-line arguments often used by attackers to discover system information, user accounts, network configurations, and execute arbitrary commands through a compromised web server.

Detects the execution of 'whoami.exe' when its parent process is not a common legitimate shell or application, or when the parent process information is missing. This can indicate suspicious activity, as 'whoami.exe' is often used by attackers for discovery purposes.

Detects the execution of "whoami.exe" with the "/FO CSV" flag to choose CSV as output format or with redirection options (e.g., `whoami > file.txt`) to export the results to a file for later use. This activity is often observed in post-exploitation discovery phases by adversaries to gather information about the current user.

Detects the execution of the 'whoami.exe' command by highly privileged accounts such as 'AUTHORITY\SYSTEM', 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM', or 'TrustedInstaller'. This activity can indicate an attacker performing discovery after achieving privilege escalation, as these accounts are often targeted for abuse.

This rule detects suspicious sub-processes spawned by common web server processes on Linux systems. It specifically looks for web server processes (Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, Node, Caddy, Tomcat, WebSphere) executing common system utilities and commands such as 'whoami', 'ifconfig', 'ip', 'uname', 'cat', 'crontab', 'hostname', 'iptables', 'netstat', 'pwd', and 'route'. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being used to execute commands on the compromised server.

This rule detects potential Dridex malware activity by identifying specific process patterns. It looks for `svchost.exe` processes with command lines indicating execution from a user's Desktop directory, which is unusual for legitimate svchost processes. It also identifies `regsvr32.exe` being spawned by `excel.exe` with specific command-line arguments often used by Dridex for DLL execution from temporary directories. Additionally, it flags anomalous child processes like `whoami.exe /all` or `net.exe view` (or `net1.exe view`) being spawned by `svchost.exe`, which could indicate discovery activities post-compromise by Dridex.

This rule detects various discovery commands commonly used on Cisco network devices. These commands are often used by adversaries to gather information about the network topology, device configuration, running processes, user sessions, and system details. The rule specifically looks for keywords associated with commands like 'dir' (file/directory listing), 'show arp' (ARP cache), 'show cdp' (Cisco Discovery Protocol neighbors), 'show clock' (system time), 'show ip interface' (IP interface configuration), 'show ip route' (routing table), 'show ip sockets' (network connections), 'show processes' (running processes), 'show ssh' (SSH sessions), 'show users' (logged-in users), and 'show version' (system information).

0026
Detects PowerShell execution that enumerates Active Directory users with the 'DONT_REQ_PREAUTH' flag set (UserAccountControl flag 4194304). This flag indicates that the account does not require Kerberos pre-authentication, making it vulnerable to AS-REP Roasting attacks where an attacker can request a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) without providing credentials and then attempt to crack the hash offline.

Detects the execution of SharpLdapWhoami, a tool designed to query LDAP services on a domain controller to identify the current user, similar to the 'whoami' command. The rule looks for the executable name, original filename, product name, and specific command-line arguments related to authentication methods.

Detects Windows command lines that miss a space before or after the /c or /k flag when running a command using cmd.exe. This could indicate an attempt at command obfuscation or a typo. The rule specifically looks for patterns like 'cmd.exe/c', '\cmd/c', '"cmd/c', and similar for /k and /r, as well as specific commands like '/cwhoami', '/cpowershell', etc., where the space is missing. It filters out common false positives related to VS Code and specific command line endings.
