Detects the execution of known Windows update-related binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe) from non-standard, suspicious locations within AppData directories. This behavior is indicative of masquerading, where an adversary attempts to blend in by using a legitimate process name from an unexpected path.
Detects Linux processes masquerading as 'php-fpm' or 'postgres' that match known SHA-256 hashes associated with the RedTail malware family. The rule identifies processes attempting to hide their identity using techniques similar to prctl(PR_SET_NAME) to rename themselves while running malicious code.
Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of unsigned executable files (.exe, .dll, .sys, .efi) within critical Windows system directories (System32, SysWOW64, drivers, boot). The rule excludes activity triggered by known trusted OS update processes, such as TrustedInstaller or Windows Update services, and optionally flags occurrences outside defined maintenance windows.
This rule detects suspicious file system activity (creation, modification, or renaming) performed by the ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) Agent process, excluding files within standard ESET installation and ProgramData directories. This behavior may indicate an adversary attempting to leverage the legitimate ERA agent to perform unauthorized file operations or masquerading as the agent.
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events where a process with a name resembling an updater (AutoUpdate.exe or au.exe) accesses a specific remote configuration file from a herokuapp.com URL, followed by the creation or modification of specific application binaries (e.g., InstaTime.exe, ffmpegsumo.dll). This pattern is indicative of a supply chain compromise or an automated software update hijacking where malicious binaries are staged to replace legitimate application components.
Detects processes named 'kworker' (in bracket notation) that are not initiated by the legitimate 'kthreadd' parent process, which is indicative of a process masquerading as a kernel worker thread. Legitimate kworker processes are kernel threads managed by kthreadd. Processes masquerading as these can be used by malware to hide in plain sight.
Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of files within directories associated with GVFS (GNOME Virtual File System) or files masquerading as GVFS components. Adversaries often use these paths and file names to stage or hide malicious tools and persistence mechanisms on Linux systems.
Detects the creation, modification, or renaming of unsigned executable files (.exe, .dll, .sys, .efi) within critical Windows system directories (System32, SysWOW64, drivers, boot). The rule excludes activity triggered by known trusted OS update processes, such as TrustedInstaller or Windows Update services, and optionally flags occurrences outside defined maintenance windows.
Detects the execution of known Windows update-related binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe) from non-standard, suspicious locations within AppData directories. This behavior is indicative of masquerading, where an adversary attempts to blend in by using a legitimate process name from an unexpected path.
Detects execution and file activity associated with the XRed backdoor, which masquerades as 'Synaptics.exe' by running from the non-standard 'C:\ProgramData\Synaptics\' directory instead of authorized system paths.
This rule monitors for the execution or presence of specific file names and SHA256 hashes known to be associated with malicious activity. It queries both process creation and file events to identify these indicators of compromise (IOCs).

Detects SoftEther VPN bridge dropper/installer disguised as svchost.exe with masquerading MixedRealityOpen service, based on install script and dropped files (a.Bat, hamcore.se2, vpn_server.config)
Detects HVNC final payload masquerading as Windows Update Assistant, combining Firefox credential theft strings, hardcoded AV process names, and XOR-encoded C2 host configuration
Detects the execution of known Windows update-related binaries (UpdateAssistant.exe or AppUpdateHelper.exe) from non-standard, suspicious locations within AppData directories. This behavior is indicative of masquerading, where an adversary attempts to blend in by using a legitimate process name from an unexpected path.
Detects access to Firefox profile database files (cookies.sqlite, places.sqlite, permissions.sqlite) by suspicious processes that are masquerading as legitimate system maintenance or update utilities. This rule specifically targets known masquerading process names (UpdateAssistant.exe, AppUpdateHelper.exe, SysMaintenance.exe) while excluding the legitimate firefox.exe process and its installation directory.
Detects Linux processes masquerading as 'php-fpm' or 'postgres' that match known SHA-256 hashes associated with the RedTail malware family. The rule identifies processes attempting to hide their identity using techniques similar to prctl(PR_SET_NAME) to rename themselves while running malicious code.
Detects processes named 'kworker' (in bracket notation) that are not initiated by the legitimate 'kthreadd' parent process, which is indicative of a process masquerading as a kernel worker thread. Legitimate kworker processes are kernel threads managed by kthreadd. Processes masquerading as these can be used by malware to hide in plain sight.
Detects potential DLL side-loading attempts involving GlobalProtect VPN components. The rule identifies the execution of GlobalProtect.exe with specific command-line arguments combined with the presence of suspicious versions of bcrypt.dll or WININET.dll within the same directory, which are characteristic of recent malicious activity involving modified DLL files targeting GlobalProtect environments.
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events where a process with a name resembling an updater (AutoUpdate.exe or au.exe) accesses a specific remote configuration file from a herokuapp.com URL, followed by the creation or modification of specific application binaries (e.g., InstaTime.exe, ffmpegsumo.dll). This pattern is indicative of a supply chain compromise or an automated software update hijacking where malicious binaries are staged to replace legitimate application components.
