This rule detects attempts to download the 'clawd.bot' or 'openclaw.ai' installation scripts using various command-line tools. It specifically looks for the use of 'curl', 'wget', 'aria2c', 'fetch', 'powershell', 'pwsh', 'certutil', 'bitsadmin', or 'mshta' when their command lines contain either 'clawd.bot/install.sh' or 'openclaw.ai/install.sh'. This activity is indicative of potential malware deployment or initial access attempts related to the OpenClaw/Clawd threat.

FileFix is a sophisticated social engineering attack, emerging in mid-2025, that abuses the Windows File Explorer address bar to execute malicious PowerShell commands. It is an evolution of the "ClickFix" technique, shifting from the Run dialog (Win+R) to the Explorer address bar (Ctrl+L).

This rule detects suspicious process creation events where `explorer.exe` (Windows Explorer) launches various scripting or utility executables (`powershell.exe`, `cmd.exe`, `wscript.exe`, `mshta.exe`, `rundll32.exe`, `regsvr32.exe`, `installutil.exe`, `wmic.exe`, `certutil.exe`, `msdt.exe`). The detection is specifically triggered when the command line of the launched process contains indicators of network communication (e.g., `http://`, `https://`, `iwr`, `invoke-webrequest`, `curl`, `wget`, `bitsadmin`, `downloadstring`, `downloadfile`), encoded commands (`-e` or `-encodedcommand` with base64-like strings), or UNC paths (`\\`). It also specifically looks for `certutil` being used with `-urlcache`, `-decode`, or `-f` flags. The rule includes exclusions for common legitimate activities such as downloads from `chocolatey.org`, `nuget.org`, `aka.ms`, `cmd.exe` launching a browser to a URL, and `certutil -hashfile` operations.

This rule detects the execution of specific download utilities (curl, wget, aria2c, fetch, PowerShell, certutil, bitsadmin, mshta) attempting to download 'install.sh' from either 'clawd.bot' or 'openclaw.ai'. This activity is indicative of potential malware or unauthorized script downloads, possibly bypassing network security controls.

Detects the execution of 'cmd.exe' initiated by common Microsoft Office applications, scripting engines, or msiexec.exe, where the command line includes 'curl' for downloading a '.pdf' file and also attempts to delete files using 'del /s /q'. This behavior is often associated with initial access, download of malicious payloads, and cleanup activities by adversaries. The rule specifically looks for command lines that interact with 'Users\Public', 'conhost.exe', or use the '--headless' flag, which can indicate automated or background execution.

This rule set detects attempts to download an 'install.sh' script from the domains 'clawd.bot' or 'openclaw.ai' using various methods. The first rule, 'openclaw_curl_install_script', specifically targets command-line tools like curl, wget, aria2c, and fetch. The 'openclaw_powershell_download' rule focuses on PowerShell commands (Invoke-WebRequest, iwr, Invoke-RestMethod, irm) used for downloading. The 'openclaw_aria2c_fetch_download' rule is redundant with the first rule, as it also targets aria2c and fetch. The 'openclaw_lolbin_download' rule identifies the use of Living Off The Land Binaries (LOLBins) such as certutil, bitsadmin, and mshta for the same download activity. Finally, the 'openclaw_http_install_sh' rule detects direct HTTP network requests to the 'install.sh' path on these domains. Collectively, these rules aim to identify potential initial access or execution attempts involving a suspicious installation script from specific domains.

This rule detects the execution of a bash or sh script that contains multiple identifiers related to OpenClaw installation. It specifically looks for command lines ending with '/bash' or '/sh' and containing 'openclaw', combined with additional OpenClaw-specific strings such as 'run_remote_bash', 'OPENCLAW_INSTALL_SH_NO_RUN', 'OPENCLAW_USE_GUM', 'All your chats, one OpenClaw', '.openclaw/openclaw.json', or 'openclaw.ai/install.sh'. This content-based detection aims to identify OpenClaw install script execution even if the script is renamed.

Detects Notepad.exe initiating outbound network connections, specifically over SMB (port 445) or to public IP addresses over HTTP/S. This behavior is highly anomalous and can indicate an attempt to exploit CVE-2026-20841 to trigger an NTLM relay attack for credential harvesting or to download a remote payload.
