This rule detects various activities associated with CloudZ and Pheno malware, including persistence mechanisms via scheduled tasks, execution of .NET loaders (regasm.exe), payload downloads using common utilities (curl, powershell, bitsadmin) from known staging patterns, reconnaissance artifacts, and network connections to known CloudZ infrastructure.

This rule detects common PowerShell patterns used for downloading content from the internet and then executing it. It looks for a combination of download-related commands/objects (e.g., DownloadString, Invoke-WebRequest, Net.WebClient) and execution-related commands/objects (e.g., IEX, Invoke-Expression, Invoke-Command, ScriptBlock) within PowerShell command-line activity. This behavior is frequently observed in malware and adversary tradecraft for initial access, execution, and persistence.

Detects when AI-integrated IDEs or coding agents spawn sensitive child processes such as command shells (cmd, powershell, pwsh) or web transfer tools (curl, wget). This behavior could indicate malicious activity if an attacker compromises the AI tool or if the tool itself is misused to execute arbitrary commands or exfiltrate data.

Detects process executions where the command line contains an HTTP/HTTPS URL with an explicit IPv4 address instead of a domain name. This technique is often used by malware and downloaders to fetch payloads or communicate with C2 servers while bypassing DNS.

Detects PowerShell processes executing 'Invoke-WebRequest' with command-line arguments containing 's3' and 'usoshared'. This combination could indicate an attempt to download or interact with S3 buckets, potentially for data exfiltration, staging, or retrieving malicious payloads, specifically referencing 'usoshared' which might be a specific bucket name or a keyword used by certain threat actors.

This rule detects instances where PowerShell (powershell.exe or pwsh.exe) spawns suspicious child processes. The suspicious child processes include certutil.exe, mshta.exe, rundll32.exe, curl.exe, wget.exe, wscript.exe, cscript.exe, bitsadmin.exe, regsvr32.exe, msiexec.exe, and cmd.exe. The rule also includes a join to ensure the parent PowerShell process was launched by explorer.exe, which can help filter out some automated or administrative PowerShell activities.
