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 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 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.

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.

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 remote administration activity via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) originating from a host that has no recorded history of performing such actions within the previous 30 days. This includes the use of wmic.exe for remote nodes, Invoke-WmiMethod, or WmiPrvSe.exe spawning common command-line interpreters or utilities.

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 malicious command-line activity associated with the XHOPELESS v1.0 wiper, specifically targeting firmware/BIOS/UEFI integrity. The detection covers WMI-based corruption of BIOS attributes, abuse of OEM-specific BIOS management namespaces, execution of legitimate firmware update tools with suspicious flags, modification of registry keys intended to disable firmware updates, and interaction with specific UEFI NVRAM GUIDs.

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 anomalous network connection attempts using DCOM (port 135) or WinRM (ports 5985/5986) that originate from external networks or exceed established internal baseline frequencies. This pattern is often indicative of lateral movement or remote administration abuse via WMI or WinRM.

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.
