The following analytic detects the use of CertUtil.exe with the 'decode' argument, which may indicate an attempt to decode a previously encoded file, potentially containing malicious payloads. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions involving CertUtil.exe. This activity is significant because attackers often use CertUtil to decode malicious files downloaded from the internet, which are then executed to compromise the system. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized code execution, further system compromise, and potential data exfiltration.
Detects scenarios where an attacker attempts to abuse certutil command to download obfuscated malicious payload using the Tchopper tool.
Detects command line patterns associated with the threat actor Bonadan (also known as APT27, Emissary Panda, Lucky Mouse, Bronze Union, G0065). This rule identifies the use of certutil for decoding payloads, wmic for process creation, and schtasks for persistence in suspicious directories.
Detects scenarios where an attacker attempts to abuse certutil command to download obfuscated malicious payload. Tools like Tchopper can trigger this rule.
Detects activity related to exploitation of Ivanti Connect Secure vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-0282, CVE-2025-22457) using MDifyLoader, Cobalt Strike, vshell, DslogdRAT, and Fscan. Includes file, process, and network-based IOCs from JPCERT report.
Detects suspicious PowerShell execution via cmd.exe spawned by w3wp.exe (IIS worker process),
using encoded payloads that decode to indicators like 'spinstall0', '.aspx', or SharePoint layouts paths.
This technique has been observed in post-exploitation of SharePoint CVEs (CVE-2025-53770).

'This rule identifies a web request with a user agent header known to belong PowerShell. <br>You can add custom Powershell indicating User-Agent headers using a watchlist, for more information refer to the [UnusualUserAgents Watchlist](https://aka.ms/ASimUnusualUserAgentsWatchlist).<br><br>
This analytic rule uses [ASIM](https://aka.ms/AboutASIM) and supports any built-in or custom source that supports the ASIM WebSession schema (ASIM WebSession Schema)'

Detects when a user enables DNS-over-HTTPS.
This can be used to hide internet activity or be used to hide the process of exfiltrating data.

Detects usage of a base64 encoded "FromBase64String" cmdlet in a process command line
Detects potential commandline obfuscation using known escape characters
Detects presence of a potentially xor encoded powershell command
Detects execution of mshta.exe with file types that looks like they do not typically represent HTA (HTML Application) content,
such as .png, .jpg, .zip, .pdf, and others, which are often polyglots. MSHTA is a legitimate Windows utility for executing HTML Applications
containing VBScript or JScript. Threat actors often abuse this lolbin utility to download and
execute malicious scripts disguised as benign files or hosted under misleading extensions to evade detection.
