Detects when a common web server process (node, nginx, apache, apache2, httpd) spawns `curl` or `wget`. This behavior is a strong indicator of post-exploitation activity, as seen in the exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell), where attackers download second-stage payloads.

Detects Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) associated with React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182) exploitation attempts. This includes network connections to known malicious IP addresses, DNS queries for attacker-controlled domains, process creations involving suspicious command-line arguments (often related to downloading or executing scripts/binaries), and file hashes of known malicious artifacts. The exploit activity is linked to C2 communication, data exfiltration, and potentially cryptomining activities.

Detects Windows Script Host (wscript.exe or cscript.exe) execution where an HTTP/HTTPS URL points directly to a dot-quad IPv4 address or a hex-encoded IPv4 address, excluding RFC1918 private ranges, APIPA, and local loopback. Threat actors frequently use raw or hex IP literals to bypass domain-based filtering and deliver payloads via script-based loaders.

Detects PowerShell command lines that reference HTTP/HTTPS content together with environment-backed AppData or Temp paths (e.g. %APPDATA%, $env:APPDATA, %TEMP%, $env:TEMP), a common pattern for downloading or staging payloads in user-writable directories.

This rule detects command-line activity indicative of downloading payloads from a Cloudflare Tunnel (`.trycloudflare.com`). This technique is used by the SERPENTINE#CLOUD threat actor to deliver malicious stages of their attack chain. The rule looks for common download utilities or specific WebDAV paths being invoked by command-line interpreters such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or pwsh.exe.

Detects a PowerShell script that uses Invoke-WebRequest with custom headers to download a file, which is then executed via Start-Process. This technique is used by malware to bypass simple network filtering or for C2 authentication. It was observed in a campaign delivering multiple RAT families including AsyncRAT, DCRAT, and PUREHVNC.

Detects network connections from Node.js to specific JSON storage services known to be abused by the 'Contagious Interview' campaign. Threat actors host malicious code on these services, which is then fetched and executed by trojanized applications as part of a social engineering scheme.

This query detects execution of processes related to Visual Studio Code extension signing or caching that involve known Glassworm-compromised extensions. Based on indicators published by KOI (October 20, 2025), it identifies suspicious .vsix package operations potentially associated with self-propagating malicious VSCode extensions observed in OpenVSX and Microsoft VSCode marketplaces.

To extract vscode extension version I used this the https://detections.ai/rules/924f7b5f-d8df-4eed-ba06-08c657f65891.

Detects execution of the "finger.exe" utility.
Finger.EXE or "TCPIP Finger Command" is an old utility that is still present on modern Windows installation. It Displays information about users on a specified remote computer (typically a UNIX computer) that is running the finger service or daemon.
Due to the old nature of this utility and the rareness of machines having the finger service. Any execution of "finger.exe" can be considered "suspicious" and worth investigating.
