Detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'keyroll' in close temporal proximity to the execution of 'rnpkeys.exe' from 'C:\ProgramData\keyroll'. This pattern mimics the persistence mechanism used by the Sauron malware (a.k.a. Strider) to execute its loader chain.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe or PowerShell that reference specific task names associated with potentially suspicious activity or persistence (e.g., PlutonAgentScheduler, EnterpriseMgmtServicesScheduler). The rule specifically looks for tasks being placed or modified within 'microsoft' or 'pluton' directories or paths, which may indicate an attempt to masquerade as legitimate system services.

Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe or PowerShell that reference specific task names associated with potentially suspicious activity or persistence (e.g., PlutonAgentScheduler, EnterpriseMgmtServicesScheduler). The rule specifically looks for tasks being placed or modified within 'microsoft' or 'pluton' directories or paths, which may indicate an attempt to masquerade as legitimate system services.
Detects MayaBot's scheduled-task persistence chain by correlating two signals on the same device within a 60-minute window: (1) schtasks.exe creating a daily task referencing a hidden batch script (update.bat/backup.bat/firewall-update.bat) under AppData\Local, spawned from wscript.exe/cscript.exe/cmd.exe, and (2) cmd.exe launching a hidden-window PowerShell process referencing the same batch scripts under AppData\Local. Requiring both signals together, anchored to the AppData\Local path, sharply reduces false positives compared to alerting on either behavior alone.
Detects the execution of MicrosoftIME.exe or the creation of scheduled tasks referencing it from non-standard directories such as User, Temp, or AppData folders. This behavior is indicative of masquerading or persistence mechanisms where a malicious process mimics the legitimate Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) binary.
This rule monitors for two potentially suspicious activities on Windows systems: the creation of scheduled tasks named 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTask' or 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskCore' using 'schtasks.exe', and the execution of scripts via 'wscript.exe' with silent flags ('//B' and '//Nologo'). These behaviors are often associated with persistence mechanisms or the execution of obfuscated/malicious scripts.
Detects a multi-stage installation of the Level RMM agent. This rule monitors for a correlation of events including the execution of 'LevelInstaller.exe' with specific installation arguments, file drops in potentially spoofed vendor paths (Dell or Level), the creation of a 'Level' service, and the addition of a 'Level Watchdog' scheduled task on the same device within a 24-hour window.
This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using an XML definition located in the user's AppData\Local\Temp directory, which is a common staging location for malware. This event is correlated with subsequent high-frequency, short-lived execution of pythonw.exe using .pyw scripts, characteristic of automated implant persistence and re-launch mechanisms.
This rule detects the creation of a Windows scheduled task that triggers an hourly execution of an obfuscated PowerShell script. The script incorporates XOR-encoded data and references known external malicious URLs, suggesting a persistence mechanism used by malware to download or communicate with attacker-controlled infrastructure.
Detects a dual persistence mechanism where an adversary establishes both an identically-named Registry Run key and a Scheduled Task, both masquerading as legitimate Canon or Stardock configuration software. These artifacts are configured to launch side-loaded host binaries (COTFileReadApp.exe or DeElevate64.exe) to maintain persistence on a Windows host.
Detects the creation of a Windows scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' or the system's scheduled task creation event where the command line or task details contain the string 'psychedelicloveUtils'. This pattern is often indicative of specific malicious persistence mechanisms or automated task-based payloads.
Detects the removal of persistence mechanisms related to the 'ComponentTask33Agent' task, specifically the deletion of a scheduled task or registry Run key, followed by the deletion of associated files within specific Microsoft-themed AppData subdirectories within a 30-minute window.
Detects the persistence sequence associated with 'ChainScript', which involves creating a hidden scheduled task using PowerShell or specific scripts, and a fallback mechanism that creates a registry run key entry if the task creation fails. The rule monitors for PowerShell commands, bridge script execution, and registry modifications involving the 'ComponentTask33Agent' or wscript.exe executing an '_agent.vbs' file.
This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'psychedelicloveUtils' on Windows systems. This specific task name is associated with the persistence mechanism of the Psychedelic Stealer malware. The detection leverages command-line monitoring for the task creation request and identifies related file-system modifications in the Windows task registry structure.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using the 'schtasks.exe' utility where the task name is 'MultiUpdater' and the task definition is imported from a file with a specific naming convention and extension (mgk, tmp, or xml) in the root directory.
This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using an XML definition located in the user's AppData\Local\Temp directory, which is a common staging location for malware. This event is correlated with subsequent high-frequency, short-lived execution of pythonw.exe using .pyw scripts, characteristic of automated implant persistence and re-launch mechanisms.
Detects the creation or execution of a scheduled task masquerading as a Microsoft Update process. The task is configured to execute potentially malicious components, specifically identified by filenames such as userscreen.exe, UserInerfacePicture, or config.cat. This behavior is indicative of persistence and execution of malicious payloads, as seen in campaigns involving the NarwhalRAT loader.
Detects the creation of Windows scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe that exhibit high-risk indicators, such as targeting temporary or user-writable directories (Temp, AppData), setting high-privilege execution flags, or utilizing PowerShell with encoded payloads. These behaviors are commonly associated with the installation of persistence mechanisms by threat actors.
Detects the creation of Windows scheduled tasks that include suspicious interpreters (PowerShell, cmd.exe, rundll32) or execution paths located in common attacker-writable directories (Temp, AppData, ProgramData), which is a common technique for persistence and command-and-control re-establishment.
Detects the creation of scheduled tasks using the 'schtasks.exe' utility that point to suspicious script execution, encoded commands, or files located in commonly abused writable directories like Temp or ProgramData. This behavior is indicative of potential persistence mechanisms.
