Detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets such as Invoke-WmiMethod, Invoke-CimMethod, Get-CimInstance, or Get-WmiObject to interact with the Win32_Process class for process creation on local or remote systems. This behavior is frequently associated with administrative activity but is also commonly used by adversaries for remote command execution and lateral movement.
Detects attempts to install or modify the 'WMI Provider Host' (WmiPrvSE) service, which is a common technique used by adversaries for persistence or to masquerade malicious activity. The rule monitors process execution, registry modifications, and service installation events specifically targeting this service name.
This rule detects potential lateral movement by identifying suspicious child processes (such as cmd, powershell, or rundll32) spawned by WmiPrvSE.exe shortly after a remote interactive or network logon on the same device.
This rule detects potential lateral movement by identifying suspicious child processes (such as cmd, powershell, or rundll32) spawned by WmiPrvSE.exe shortly after a remote interactive or network logon on the same device.
This rule detects command line patterns associated with common Impacket tools (wmiexec, psexec, smbexec) executed via Windows processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or via network connections to ports 445 and 135 initiated by Python processes. These tools are frequently used by adversaries for lateral movement, remote service execution, and command execution on compromised systems.
Detects host and user discovery commands (whoami, hostname, systeminfo, wmic) executed within a 15-minute window following a suspected CRPx0 ransomware execution event, identified by either encoded PowerShell or curl-to-bash activity.
Detects potential lateral movement activity associated with the CRPx0 propagation technique. The rule monitors for WmiPrvSE.exe spawning unusual child processes (indicative of remote Win32_Process.Create execution) which are concurrently correlated with outbound network activity from the same host.
Detects instances where the Windows Management Instrumentation service (wmiprvse.exe) launches suspicious command-line interfaces or interpreters (PowerShell, CMD, cscript, etc.), or executes scripts from sensitive/temporary directories. The rule includes exclusions for common management tools to reduce noise.
Detects remote command execution using WMI by monitoring RPC calls to the IWbemServices interface (UUID {9556DC99-828C-11CF-A37E-00AA003240C7}). The rule specifically targets the ExecMethod operation (opnum 24) commonly used by tools like Impacket's wmiexec to execute Win32_Process.Create on remote targets. Filter for COMSPEC to increase fidelity for detecting wmiexec.
Detects attempts to install or modify the 'WMI Provider Host' (WmiPrvSE) service, which is a common technique used by adversaries for persistence or to masquerade malicious activity. The rule monitors process execution, registry modifications, and service installation events specifically targeting this service name.
This rule detects potential remote command execution using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) via wmic.exe or PowerShell, as well as suspicious child processes spawned by the WMI provider host (wmiprvse.exe). It monitors for command lines utilizing the /node switch to target remote systems or invoking WMI methods to trigger execution, which are common patterns for lateral movement.
Detects the creation of WMI event filters and consumers associated with CommandLineEventConsumer or ActiveScriptEventConsumer, excluding known legitimate system processes. This behavior is a common technique for establishing persistence and executing arbitrary code via WMI event subscriptions.
This rule detects command line patterns associated with common Impacket tools (wmiexec, psexec, smbexec) executed via Windows processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe) or via network connections to ports 445 and 135 initiated by Python processes. These tools are frequently used by adversaries for lateral movement, remote service execution, and command execution on compromised systems.
Detects the creation of WMI event filters and consumers associated with CommandLineEventConsumer or ActiveScriptEventConsumer, excluding known legitimate system processes. This behavior is a common technique for establishing persistence and executing arbitrary code via WMI event subscriptions.
Detects the creation of WMI event filters and consumers associated with CommandLineEventConsumer or ActiveScriptEventConsumer, excluding known legitimate system processes. This behavior is a common technique for establishing persistence and executing arbitrary code via WMI event subscriptions.
Detects the use of the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) utility to execute processes, particularly when a remote node target is specified or when using common WMI process creation arguments. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries for lateral movement and remote code execution while attempting to blend into administrative activity. Legitimate management tools have been excluded from the scope to reduce noise.
Detects anomalous system reconnaissance activity performed using WMIC or PowerShell Get-WmiObject commands. The rule tracks distinct command-line executions per device and flags hosts where three or more unique reconnaissance commands are executed within a short timeframe, which is indicative of an adversary enumerating system configuration, hotfixes, or hardware details.
Detects the loading of WMI-related DLLs (wbemcomn.dll, wbemprox.dll) by processes that are commonly abused to proxy execution (LOLBins) such as certutil, mshta, or office applications. This behavior is often associated with WMI-based persistence or execution techniques.
This rule detects potential lateral movement by identifying suspicious child processes (such as cmd, powershell, or rundll32) spawned by WmiPrvSE.exe shortly after a remote interactive or network logon on the same device.
This rule detects potential remote command execution using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) via wmic.exe or PowerShell, as well as suspicious child processes spawned by the WMI provider host (wmiprvse.exe). It monitors for command lines utilizing the /node switch to target remote systems or invoking WMI methods to trigger execution, which are common patterns for lateral movement.
Detects the execution of known offensive security tools often used for lateral movement, credential dumping, and remote code execution, such as Impacket modules and the 'Invoke-TheHash' PowerShell suite, via common command-line interpreters.
