Detects M365 Copilot information extraction jailbreak attacks that attempt to obtain sensitive, classified, or comprehensive data through various social engineering techniques including fictional entity impersonation, bulk data requests, and privacy bypass attempts. The detection searches exported eDiscovery prompt logs for extraction keywords like "transcendent," "tell me everything," "confidential," "dump," "extract," "reveal," and "bypass" in the Subject_Title field, categorizing each attempt by extraction type and assigning severity levels (CRITICAL for classified/proprietary data, HIGH for bulk extraction or privacy bypass). Prompts are further analyzed for compound risk patterns such as "Confidential+Extraction" or "Bulk_Request+Bypass," filtering out low-severity cases to surface the most dangerous attempts to exfiltrate sensitive organizational information through AI manipulation.

Detects attempts to terminate common antivirus and security software processes using 'taskkill.exe' with force flags. The rule specifically correlates this behavior with SQL Server processes (initiating or present on the host), suggesting an attempt to disable security controls to facilitate unauthorized activity or persistence.

Detects a behavioral pattern characteristic of Everest ransomware, where a sequence of rapid process terminations occurs within a 20-second window. The rule identifies the coordinated termination of security/analysis tools, antivirus/backup/database services, and other high-memory processes on a single device, excluding known legitimate maintenance processes.

004
Detects a suspicious pattern where a high volume of security, backup, or antivirus services and processes are terminated on a host in a short time window, followed by extensive file modification activity. This behavior is highly indicative of pre-encryption preparations by ransomware, specifically patterns observed by the Everest group, intended to neutralize defenses and prevent restoration before encrypting files.

Detects the use of common PowerShell techniques designed to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI). These techniques involve manipulating internal PowerShell objects like AmsiUtils or amsiInitFailed, or using reflection to locate and modify AMSI memory structures to disable scanning.

Detects the execution of taskkill.exe to terminate known security software processes, when the command is initiated from sqlservr.exe or via a command shell child process of sqlservr.exe. This activity is a common post-exploitation step after abusing xp_cmdshell to neutralize defenses before deploying further payloads.

Detects evidence of potential adversarial interference with Windows Defender updates and MRT.exe (Malicious Software Removal Tool). The rule correlates high volumes of temporary file creation in user directories with unauthorized access to MRT.exe by third-party processes and repeated Windows Defender update failures, indicating a potential attempt to disrupt endpoint security operations.

Detects high-risk administrative activity on VMware ESXi or vCenter servers that is consistent with pre-ransomware staging, such as disabling lockdown mode, disabling syslog forwarding, mass deletion or modification of virtual machine files (.vmdk/.vmx), or shell command execution related to encryption tool staging.

This rule detects a sequence of events characteristic of the x47.c persistence pattern. It monitors for the creation of persistence mechanisms via Windows Registry Run keys or scheduled tasks, followed by the addition of Windows Defender exclusions using PowerShell within a 30-minute window on the same device.

Detects a suspicious burst of commands commonly used to disable security services, antivirus, or backup agents on a single host. The rule monitors for a high frequency of taskkill, net stop, sc stop, or PowerShell Stop-Service operations targeting a predefined list of sensitive security software process and service names within a short timeframe, which is a common precursor to ransomware encryption.

003
Detects attempts to bypass the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in PowerShell by using reflection to modify internal AMSI-related structures and memory flags (e.g., AmsiUtils, amsiInitFailed). This technique involves manipulating system objects to neutralize AMSI's ability to inspect malicious script content.

Detects attempts to disable, modify, or stop security software and endpoint protection services. The rule monitors for registry changes to Windows Defender settings, manual service management commands (sc, net) targeting security processes, and PowerShell execution using 'Set-MpPreference' to disable protection features.

Detects the execution of RatHat, a Go-based Android native daemon masquerading as 'liblocal-service.so'. The rule identifies the malware's use of ADB-derived shell commands to bypass Android Doze mode, prioritize background execution, and tamper with installed applications via pm (package manager) commands.

Detects the installation or loading of a non-standard kernel driver followed by the termination of known security/EDR agent processes. This behavior is indicative of a 'Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver' (BYOVD) attack, where attackers leverage kernel-level privileges from a vulnerable driver to bypass EDR protections and disable security tools prior to encryption or other malicious activities.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating a rapid burst of file creation, modification, or renaming events across multiple directories with prior execution of defense evasion commands, such as deleting volume shadow copies or terminating security-related processes. This sequence is characteristic of ransomware operators attempting to disable recovery options and security protections before commencing mass file encryption.
