Detects potential BRICKSTORM C2 activity. This rule identifies processes initiating a WebSocket connection over HTTPS, which is a technique used by BRICKSTORM for its command and control channel. The rule filters for processes that lack file metadata, a common characteristic of Go-based malware like BRICKSTORM.

Detects the execution of 'curl.exe' with command-line arguments indicating the use of SOCKS proxies (socks5h, socks5, socks4a) and targeting '.onion' domains. This combination is highly indicative of activity associated with the Kalambur backdoor, which leverages TOR for command and control.

Detects the deployment or activity of the TOLLBOOTH IIS module. This is achieved by identifying the creation of its specific DLLs by the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe), or by detecting outbound C2 communication from the IIS worker process to known TOLLBOOTH infrastructure.

These rules detect indicators associated with a campaign where attackers compromised developer accounts and inserted malicious code into over 35 Google Chrome extensions. The first rule identifies suspicious network connections to known malicious IP addresses and command-and-control (C2) domains. The second rule identifies the presence of known malicious Chrome extension names or their corresponding extension IDs, which could indicate the presence of a hijacked extension.

This rule detects the use of the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to enable the 'WindowsPowerShellWebAccess' feature. Adversaries may enable this feature to establish remote access to a system, potentially for persistence, privilege escalation, or further malicious activities. The detection specifically looks for `dism.exe` or `DISM.EXE` being executed with command-line arguments that include 'WindowsPowerShellWebAccess', '/online', and '/enable-feature'.

Hunts for multi-stage attacker behavior involving executables dropped to user directories, co-located DLL loads, and outbound network connections to Azure cloud domains used as command-and-control infrastructure. This query surfaces advanced adversary tradecraft where payload delivery, code execution, and cloud-based C2 are tightly correlated.

The analytic detects the execution of `gpupdate.exe` without command line arguments and with an active network connection. This behavior is identified using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on process execution and network traffic data. It is significant because `gpupdate.exe` typically runs with specific arguments, and its execution without them, especially with network activity, is often associated with malicious software like Cobalt Strike. If confirmed malicious, this activity could indicate an attacker leveraging `gpupdate.exe` for lateral movement, command and control, or other nefarious purposes, potentially leading to system compromise.

Detects a non-browser process launching a browser with automation flags, which subsequently connects to WhatsApp Web. This behavior is consistent with the Maverick banking trojan's use of Selenium and WPPConnect to hijack WhatsApp sessions for self-propagation.

This analytic detects suspicious downloads from common file sharing and content delivery platforms using known living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins) such as 'curl.exe', 'certutil.exe', 'msiexec.exe', 'powershell.exe', 'wmic.exe', and others. It leverages Cisco Network Visibility Module logs to correlate network flow activity with process context, including command-line arguments, process path, and parent process information. These tools are often abused by adversaries and malware to retrieve payloads from public hosting platforms such as GitHub, Discord CDN, Transfer.sh, or Pastebin. This detection helps identify potential initial access, payload staging, or command and control activity using legitimate services.

This rule detects suspicious network connections made by processes (excluding legitimate EDR processes like mssense.exe and senseir.exe) to URLs commonly associated with EDR command and control (C2) infrastructure. This could indicate an attempt by an adversary to communicate with or manipulate the EDR agent.

This rule detects the presence of Olymp Loader malware by identifying known malicious file hashes (SHA256) and network communication with associated distribution domains. It looks for these indicators across various data sources, normalizing fields for consistent output. The rule aims to identify systems infected with or communicating with Olymp Loader infrastructure.

Detects Acreed infostealer's cryptocurrency clipper activity. This rule identifies when a host first communicates with a known Acreed C2 domain (`trustdomainnet.live`) to fetch malicious wallet addresses, and then communicates with a QR code generation API (`api.zile42o.dev`) used to replace legitimate QR codes with malicious ones.
