Detects a suspicious sequence of events where a known web server process (e.g., IIS, Nginx, Apache) spawns a command shell process, followed shortly by the creation of a file with a web shell-like extension (.aspx, .jsp, .php) in the same environment. This pattern is indicative of an adversary exploiting a public-facing application to upload and potentially access a web shell.
This rule detects a multi-stage attack pattern involving potential social engineering via lookalike conferencing domains. It identifies users visiting suspicious domains resembling well-known conferencing platforms (e.g., Teams, Meet, Zoom), followed by modifications to the Windows RunMRU registry key and subsequent execution of suspicious commands (PowerShell, CMD, mshta) by explorer.exe within a short timeframe.
This rule detects potential ClickFix/InstallFix attacks where a user is socially engineered to copy and paste a malicious command from a website that mimics a legitimate developer tool installation (e.g., Claude Code, NotebookLM). The detection flags the use of common download-and-execute cmdlets (e.g., irm, iwr, iex) within common Windows shell interpreters while excluding known legitimate vendor install domains.

Detects a sequence of potentially malicious local command execution (via PowerShell, cmd, or mshta) that mirrors the 'ClickFix' social engineering pattern, followed by an OAuth application consent grant or device-code authorization by the same user within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass MFA by tricking a user into authorizing a malicious application after establishing local execution on their endpoint.
Detects the 'ClickFix' attack pattern where explorer.exe (typically via a Run dialog interaction) spawns a command shell (PowerShell, cmd, or mshta) using obfuscated flags combined with execution indicators (download/execution), which then subsequently spawns a secondary child process. This chain provides high-confidence evidence of malicious intent compared to isolated process executions.

This chain provides high-confidence evidence of malicious intent compared to isolated process executions.
Detects the execution of the Microsoft HTML Application host (mshta.exe) when it is used to launch scripts from remote URLs (http/https/ftp) or when it spawns common command-line shells and scripting engines, which is a common indicator of living-off-the-land techniques used to execute malicious payloads.
Detects instances where the WMI service (wmiprvse.exe) spawns common command-line or system tools such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or rundll32.exe. This behavior is often indicative of lateral movement or remote command execution via WMI.
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' that involves suspicious command-line patterns, specifically tasks pointing to potentially volatile directories (temp, appdata, programdata) or tasks executing PowerShell/CMD with common obfuscation/execution arguments such as encoded commands, hidden window styles, or base64 decoding.
Detects a specific multi-stage infection chain associated with Star Blizzard. The sequence begins with a command shell launched under conhost.exe executing SSH with PermitLocalCommand enabled, followed by the execution of a control panel (.cpl) file via control.exe within a two-hour window.
Detects the execution of the GigaWiper malware or the use of common system commands associated with destructive data activities, such as recursive file removal, disk formatting, or secure data overwriting, often used by threat actors for extortion.
Detects instances where the Windows command shell (cmd.exe) is used to execute 'dotnet --list-runtimes' with output redirected to sensitive locations (e.g., NUL, temp folders, or text/log files). This pattern is often observed during post-exploitation activities by RMM agents or unauthorized processes attempting to profile the .NET environment while hiding their command output.
Detects the execution of various system binaries (e.g., rundll32.exe, powershell.exe, regsvr32.exe) launched from a Temp directory where the parent or actor process is identified as rnpkeys.exe or rnp.dll. This behavior is indicative of potential malicious activity where legitimate tools or utilities (GnuPG/RNP) are being abused to proxy the execution of secondary payloads or scripts.
Detects the execution of conhost.exe with the --headless flag, which is commonly observed in Kimsuky LNK-based malware campaigns to execute encoded cmd.exe payloads. This pattern involves the use of certutil or echo commands to deobfuscate and execute embedded scripts, often leveraging hidden windows or process hollowing techniques for persistence and evasion.
Detects the specific pattern associated with Storm-2570 for enabling Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) on a target host to facilitate lateral movement. The detection looks for registry modifications to disable RDP denial (fDenyTSConnections=0), firewall rules allowing TCP port 3389 via netsh or PowerShell, and the deployment of these configurations using PsExec against a target host list file.
Detects instances where common web browsers (chrome, msedge, firefox, brave) are spawned as child processes by suspicious parent applications or scripting environments such as PowerShell, CMD, WScript, MSHTA, or Office documents (Winword, Excel). This behavior is often indicative of malicious document execution, file-less malware techniques, or drive-by download attempts.
Detects instances where the Node.js runtime process (node.exe) spawns a command shell (cmd.exe) or PowerShell (powershell.exe). This pattern is frequently used by malicious Node.js-based applications, RATs, or web shells to execute arbitrary commands on a compromised host.
Detects the execution of script interpreters (powershell, cmd, mshta, etc.) spawned directly by explorer.exe via the Run dialog, commonly associated with 'ClickFix' social engineering attacks where users are prompted to copy and paste malicious commands to bypass security mechanisms.
Detects ClickFix-style activity where a user is tricked into entering or pasting malicious command strings into the Windows File Explorer address bar. This activity results in the spawning of common utilities like cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or certutil.exe with arguments associated with UNC paths, Base64 encoding, or download cradles (e.g., IEX, bitsadmin, or URLCache operations).
