This rule detects suspicious process creation events where Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) are the initiating process, but the created process is not another Office application. Instead, the created process is a command-line interpreter or scripting host like PowerShell, cmd.exe, cscript, wscript, or mshta. This behavior is often indicative of initial access techniques involving malicious Office documents that execute scripts or commands.

Detects calls to NtAllocateVirtualMemory originating from scripting engines or binaries executing from temporary user-controlled locations. This behavior is commonly associated with reflective loading, shellcode execution, and in-memory malware.

This rule detects suspicious command-line obfuscation techniques by monitoring process creation events (EventID 4688) for specific patterns in the command line. It looks for the use of environment variables like %TEMP% or %SystemRoot%, the `${env:` syntax, and nested `cmd /c "cmd /c"` calls. These patterns are often used by adversaries to hide the true nature of executed commands, evade detection, or bypass security controls. The rule triggers if three or more such events are observed from the same computer and account within a one-hour window.

This rule detects suspicious execution of common scripting interpreters (powershell.exe, cmd.exe, cscript.exe, wscript.exe, python.exe) from temporary directories (Temp, AppData, %TEMP%). A high count (5 or more) of such events within an hour for a given computer and account is considered suspicious, indicating potential malicious activity like malware execution or persistence.

This rule detects suspicious command-line activity involving 'cscript' or 'wscript' (Windows Script Host) combined with keywords like 'download', 'execute', or 'powershell'. A high count of such events (3 or more within 5 minutes) from the same computer and account is flagged, indicating potential exploit kit activity, malicious script execution, or initial access attempts.

This rule detects potential indicators of AI-powered adversarial attacks by monitoring process creation events (EventID 4688) for command lines containing keywords related to popular machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras) combined with terms like 'model', 'neural', or 'train'. A high count (2 or more) of such events within an hour on a single computer and account triggers an alert, suggesting the execution of AI/ML-related code that could be part of an adversarial attack or research.

This rule detects an unusually high number of command-line executions containing keywords related to 'dependency' or 'library' and 'update' or 'upgrade' within a one-hour window on a single computer. This behavior could indicate an adversary attempting to modify system components, install malicious libraries, or compromise the software supply chain by frequently updating or upgrading software dependencies.

This rule detects when a single process modifies or creates three or more YAML files ('.yaml' or '.yml' extensions) within folders containing 'config' or 'pipeline' in their path, within a one-hour window. This behavior could indicate an attacker modifying configuration or deployment files, potentially for persistence, defense evasion, or impact.

002
This rule detects repeated execution of commands containing both 'version' and 'control' keywords within the command line. It specifically looks for at least 5 such executions within a one-hour window on the same computer by the same account. This pattern could indicate an adversary attempting to enumerate system or software versions, or interact with version control systems, potentially as part of reconnaissance or privilege escalation.

This rule detects a high volume (10 or more within an hour) of process creations where the command line contains 'compiler' or 'build'. This could indicate development activity, but also potentially malicious compilation or staging of tools by an attacker.

Detects process creation where ConfigurationRemotingServer.exe is spawned by winget.exe or WindowsPackageManagerServer.exe. This activity indicates potential WinGet DSC (Desired State Configuration) execution or COM API abuse. Adversaries may leverage WinGet to execute malicious configurations or scripts.

This rule detects activity associated with the GhostLock ransomware by combining three types of signals: file artifact creation/access, specific Python module loads indicative of GhostLock's execution, and the presence of GhostLock-specific command-line arguments. It aims to identify the ransomware across different stages of its operation.

Detects process execution events containing command-line arguments unique to Chaos ransomware execution, such as 'ignorar_arquivos_grandes' or 'work_mode'. It also includes a more generic detection for 'lkey' and 'path' arguments used together to reduce false positives.

Detects command line execution of 'search:' or 'search-ms:' URI handlers utilizing the 'crumb=location:' parameter pointing to a remote UNC path, which forces outbound NTLM authentication. This technique can be used by adversaries to capture NTLM hashes.
