This rule detects various activities associated with the Kimsuky JavaScript dropper, including DNS requests to known malicious domains, creation of specific files (Themes.js, L298306.tmp), execution of certutil.exe or script.exe for decoding/encoding, suspicious command-line arguments for system information or task listing, and persistence mechanisms via scheduled tasks or registry modifications related to 'Themes.js' or 'Windows Theme Manager'.

Detects the unexpected installation of Node.js by an unusual parent process (such as VS Code, cmd, or PowerShell). This behavior is indicative of the StoatWaffle downloader, which automatically fetches and installs the Node.js runtime if it is absent from the target environment.

Detects processes making HTTP/HTTPS requests to localhost on ports 40341 or 40342 for '/metadata'. This pattern can indicate local service discovery, inter-process communication, or potentially malicious activity attempting to interact with local services, possibly for credential access or privilege escalation.

This rule detects PolyShell webshell activity on Linux systems, specifically targeting Magento e-commerce platforms. It identifies processes executing from or targeting a suspicious media directory (`/var/www/prod/shared/pub/media/custom_options/quote/i/n/`) in conjunction with `curl` processes retrieving payloads from the `gsocket.io` C2 network. The detection logic combines indicators of webshell presence (execution from a specific directory) with C2 communication (curl to gsocket.io).

This rule detects suspicious activity involving the WebDAV client, specifically looking for scenarios where WebDAV connections to public IPs are initiated from a process that has recently modified the RunMRU registry key to include WebDAV parameters and executables like 'cmd' or 'net use', and has also accessed clipboard data. This combination of behaviors suggests potential credential theft or lateral movement attempts using WebDAV.

This rule detects the execution chain associated with MicroStealer, specifically looking for processes named 'RocobeSetup.exe', 'Game Launcher.exe', or 'miicrosoft.exe' that are involved in actions related to a file named 'soft.jar'. This indicates the potential presence and activity of the MicroStealer malware.

This rule correlates the creation of a potentially executable or script file by a browser or Microsoft Office application with its subsequent execution within a short time frame. This pattern is highly indicative of a user being tricked into downloading and running a malicious payload, often associated with initial access techniques like spearphishing with malicious attachments.

Detects 'Early Bird' Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) injection into 'explorer.exe' processes. This technique involves a suspicious parent process (like a script interpreter) creating a suspended 'explorer.exe' process, then injecting malicious code using API calls such as 'QueueUserAPC' and 'WriteProcessMemory' before the process fully starts. This rule specifically looks for the combination of these events within a short timeframe.

Detects when 'Cursor.exe' (a legitimate application) spawns common command-line utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, curl.exe, wget.exe, certutil.exe, bitsadmin.exe) with command-line arguments indicative of downloading files from the internet (e.g., containing 'http://', 'https://', 'ftp://', '-o', '-OutFile', 'iwr', 'DownloadString', 'DownloadFile'). This could indicate malicious activity where 'Cursor.exe' is being abused to facilitate ingress tool transfer or execute malicious payloads.

Detects the loading of 'hostfxr.dll' from suspicious user-specific AppData folders by 'CrossDeviceService.exe' or 'Teams.exe'. This behavior can indicate an attempt to load a malicious .NET runtime, potentially for DLL hijacking or code injection, often associated with persistence or execution techniques.

This rule detects suspicious command-line activity indicative of SSH tunneling, external IP checks, and reconnaissance commands. It looks for specific IP addresses associated with known C2 or SSH tunnel infrastructure, SSH command-line options like 'StrictHostKeyChecking=no' and reverse tunnel flags ('-R', '-N'), the use of 'ifconfig.me' for external IP discovery, and various 'whoami' and 'groups' commands for system reconnaissance. It also flags activity related to 'FMAPP.exe' or 'FMAPP.dll'.

This rule detects PowerShell processes (powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, mbs.exe) that are executing commands to read the content of batch (.bat) or command (.cmd) files. This behavior has been observed in campaigns like Dead#Vax for self-parsing and in-memory payload extraction. The detection specifically looks for `Get-Content` or its alias `gc` within the PowerShell command line, targeting files with `.cmd` or `.bat` extensions.

This rule detects the creation of PowerShell aliases for high-risk cmdlets or .NET web client patterns. Adversaries may use 'Set-Alias' to create short, obfuscated aliases for common cmdlets like Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-Expression, or cmdlets related to Defender tampering, making their command-line activity harder to detect and analyze. This detection focuses on the 'ProcessCreated' event for PowerShell processes where 'Set-Alias' is used to map to a predefined list of suspicious cmdlets or patterns.
