Detects instances where the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) spawns the Windows command shell (cmd.exe) to execute common reconnaissance commands such as whoami, hostname, systeminfo, and net user. This behavior is strongly indicative of post-exploitation activity following a successful web shell deployment on a web server.

Detects the execution of discovery or credential access utilities (e.g., whoami, net, reg, ldapsearch) spawned by Java-based server processes like java.exe or tomcat.exe. This activity is often indicative of an attacker leveraging a vulnerable web application to perform reconnaissance or credential harvesting on the host system.

Detects host enumeration activities (listing processes, user information, and directory contents) performed by known legitimate binaries (e.g., poedit.exe, curl.exe, vim.exe) shortly after they have executed a suspicious sideloading event. This pattern is characteristic of the NeedyMantis actor performing initial discovery before C2 beaconing.

This rule detects potential malicious activity where a non-browser process downloads a specific payload file from a suspicious domain ('easyllms.xyz') and is subsequently linked to process activity involving the discovery of system or user information (e.g., GetComputerNameA, GetUserNameA). This pattern is characteristic of a dropper or stage-one malware attempting to profile the compromised host.

Detects the execution of multiple distinct host reconnaissance commands (e.g., systeminfo, whoami, ipconfig, AV/EDR checks, and domain enumeration) within a short window (10 minutes) originating from the same parent process. This pattern is characteristic of automated reconnaissance collection, often performed during the initial phases of an attack or as part of a C2 workflow. The rule includes exclusions for common administrative, monitoring, and RMM tools to reduce false positives.

Detects reconnaissance commands related to system domain, locale, and environment settings following the execution of rnpkeys.exe from C:\ProgramData\keyroll, a behavior associated with the Sauron Loader. The rule identifies suspicious system discovery commands (nltest, whoami, etc.) or environment checks performed shortly after the loader's execution, indicating potential target verification before C2 registration.

Detects rapid execution of multiple discovery-related commands (whoami, tasklist, ipconfig, netstat, systeminfo) by common Windows host processes within a 15-minute window. This behavior often indicates an adversary performing reconnaissance after gaining an initial foothold.

Detects rapid execution of multiple native Windows discovery commands (whoami, ipconfig, hostname, tasklist) within a short window, which is often indicative of an adversary performing environment reconnaissance post-compromise.

004
Detects anomalous network traffic patterns from the legitimate 'rnpkeys.exe' process when side-loaded from the 'ProgramData\keyroll' directory. The rule specifically looks for a sequence of connections matching initial C2 registration (TLV 0x01) followed by consistent, periodic beaconing (TLV 0x02) at an interval indicating automated task polling, rather than single-connection legitimate activity.

Detects a rapid, multi-stage intrusion sequence on a single host involving discovery, lateral movement, and high-volume file modifications. The rule identifies anomalous behavior where diverse reconnaissance and lateral movement commands are executed within a compressed timeframe, characteristic of automated or LLM-driven orchestration of ransomware operations.

Detects known persistence binaries or suspicious file paths associated with the CHOSEN BRICK threat actor executing common discovery commands such as tasklist, systeminfo, and process enumeration scripts. This pattern aligns with the post-compromise reconnaissance phase performed prior to further malicious activity.

Detects a cluster of host enumeration and system discovery commands (such as whoami, hostname, systeminfo, and network config queries) executed by the same process account within a short window, which is often indicative of post-exploitation reconnaissance.

Detects the execution of common discovery commands like 'whoami' combined with system information gathering commands (tasklist, ver, uname) when initiated by an application named 'pc-app.exe'. This pattern is frequently observed during the reconnaissance phase of an attack.

Detects network communication to known malicious infrastructure associated with the GRAYRABBIT malware campaign. The rule correlates TCP connections on port 443 to the domain 'mail.uaiubifas.top' with process events attempting to discover system and user information (GetAdaptersAddresses, gethostname, GetUserNameA), which is characteristic of the malware's initial beaconing behavior.
