This analytic detects the use of WMIC to delete volume shadow copies, which is a common technique used by ransomware actors to prevent system recovery. Ransomware like Cactus often delete shadow copies before encrypting files to ensure victims cannot recover their data without paying the ransom. This behavior is particularly concerning as it indicates potential ransomware activity or malicious actors attempting to prevent system recovery.
The following analytic detects the execution of the "swapoff" command, which disables the swapping of paging devices on a Linux system. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution logs. This activity is significant because disabling swap can be a tactic used by malware, such as Awfulshred, to evade detection and hinder forensic analysis. If confirmed malicious, this action could allow an attacker to manipulate system memory management, potentially leading to data corruption, system instability, or evasion of memory-based detection mechanisms.
The following analytic detects the execution of a command to enable all SysRq functions on a Linux system, a technique associated with the AwfulShred malware. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data to identify processes executing the command to pipe bitmask '1' to /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq. This activity is significant as it can indicate an attempt to manipulate kernel system requests, which is uncommon and potentially malicious. If confirmed, this could allow an attacker to reboot the system or perform other critical actions, leading to system instability or further compromise.
This analytic identifies the resizing of shadow storage volumes, a technique used by ransomware like CLOP to prevent the recreation of shadow volumes. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions involving "vssadmin.exe" with parameters related to resizing shadow storage. This activity is significant as it indicates an attempt to hinder recovery efforts by manipulating shadow copies. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to successful ransomware deployment, making data recovery difficult and increasing the potential for data loss.
The following analytic detects the execution of wbadmin.exe with flags that delete backup files, specifically targeting catalog or system state backups. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because it is commonly used by ransomware to prevent recovery by deleting system backups. If confirmed malicious, this action could severely hinder recovery efforts, leading to prolonged downtime and potential data loss.
Detects when the Time Machine backup utility is disabled on macOS using the `tmutil` command-line tool. This action can be performed by an attacker to prevent system backups, hindering recovery efforts after an attack.
This rule detects attempts to delete macOS Time Machine backups using the native utility "tmutil" with the 'delete' command. Adversaries may perform this action to prevent victims from restoring their files, often as a precursor to a ransomware attack or other data destruction activities.
Detects the addition of a new file or path exclusion to macOS Time Machine via the "tmutil" utility. An adversary could exclude a path from Time Machine backups to prevent certain files from being backed up, hindering recovery efforts.
This rule detects the use of 'wbadmin.exe' to recover files from backups. Adversaries may use this technique to restore sensitive files, such as NTDS.DIT (Active Directory database) or Registry Hives, from backups. These files can then be analyzed offline to extract credentials or other sensitive information, potentially leading to further compromise.
Detects disabling of Time Machine (Apple's automated backup utility software) via the native macOS backup utility "tmutil".
An attacker can use this to prevent backups from occurring.
An attacker can use this to prevent backups from occurring.
Detects deletion attempts of MacOS Time Machine backups via the native backup utility "tmutil".
An adversary may perform this action before launching a ransonware attack to prevent the victim from restoring their files.

Detects the recovery of files from backups via "wbadmin.exe".
Attackers can restore sensitive files such as NTDS.DIT or Registry Hives from backups in order to potentially extract credentials.

Detects the deletion of files commonly used for backups by adversaries to prevent system recovery. This rule specifically looks for deletion actions performed by common Windows command-line interpreters and system utilities on files with backup-related extensions.
This YARA rule detects the Elpaco ransomware by identifying specific byte patterns within the executable. The patterns are associated with functions for finding files, writing console logs, getting system information, setting up an 'everything' library (likely for file enumeration), and deleting shadow copies. The rule requires all these sets of patterns to be present, indicating a high confidence detection of the Elpaco ransomware.
Yara rule that detects Elpaco ransomware.
Backup Files Deleted
Sigma
Detects deletion of files with extensions often used for backup files. Adversaries may delete or remove built-in operating system data and turn off services designed to aid in the recovery of a corrupted system to prevent recovery.
Detects when an AWS Backup Plan or Backup Selection is deleted. This activity can indicate an adversary attempting to inhibit system recovery by removing backup configurations, potentially as a precursor to data destruction or encryption for impact.
This rule detects the Helldown ransomware by identifying specific byte patterns associated with its core functionalities. These functionalities include finding files for encryption, the encryption process itself, dropping a ransom note, and attempting to kill virtual machines. The rule specifically targets ELF executables, indicating it's designed for Linux systems.
AWS Backup Plan Deleted
YARA-L
Detects when AWS Backup Plan is deleted.
Detects when AWS S3 bucket versioning is disabled. This action can be a precursor to data deletion or modification without the ability to recover previous versions, often seen in ransomware attacks targeting cloud storage.
