This rule detects potentially malicious activity involving the manipulation of Windows services using 'sc.exe' to stop or delete services, combined with the forceful termination of 'svchost.exe' processes via 'wmic.exe'. This pattern is often associated with adversaries attempting to disable security tools, logging agents, or other defensive mechanisms on an endpoint.

Detects the use of 'schtasks.exe' to disable critical Windows Update or ExploitGuard Malware Removal tasks when initiated by 'LockAppHost.exe'. This behavior is highly irregular, as the LockAppHost process is typically associated with the Windows Lock Screen and should not be modifying security-related scheduled tasks.

This rule detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender settings to disable real-time, behavior, and IOAV protection, while simultaneously adding a full-drive exclusion for the root directory (C:\). This behavior is characteristic of an adversary attempting to disable security monitoring to facilitate further malicious activity or avoid detection.

Detects instances where the ESET Remote Administrator Agent (ERAAgent.exe) modifies registry keys related to Windows network security settings, such as LSA policies, NullSession pipes/shares, or server/workstation auto-sharing. These settings can be manipulated to weaken Windows security posture, potentially facilitating lateral movement or credential access.
