Detects the use of PowerShell to add an exclusion to Microsoft Defender. The detection looks for common obfuscation flags (Hidden, NonI, NoP, Bypass) in the command line and targets the MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore executable or DLL for exclusion, which is a common persistence or evasion technique. It excludes parent processes known for administrative activity to reduce noise.

Detects the execution of the Kothamine injector by correlating three distinct stages: the use of PowerShell to create an AV exclusion for 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore', the dropping of the 'MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore' binary into the user's AppData directory, and subsequent process injection (OpenProcess/VirtualAllocEx/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread) into explorer.exe.

001
Detects unauthorized attempts to disable, reconfigure, or bypass AI safety guardrails and moderation services, particularly when followed by high-risk tool invocations such as file deletion, network egress, or credential access. This activity indicates an attacker attempting to impair an AI agent's defensive mechanisms to facilitate malicious actions.

Detects AI agents attempting to disable or bypass security guardrails, approval gates, or content filters. Additionally, it identifies high-risk or destructive actions taken by an AI agent that lack the required preceding human-approval audit record.

Detects bulk or repeated attempts to stop security-related services and processes (such as EDR or AV agents) or modification of Windows Defender registry keys. This behavior is indicative of a pre-encryption phase in ransomware attacks where adversaries attempt to neutralize endpoint defenses.

Detects the use of PowerShell script blocks that attempt to bypass or disable Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) or Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) by interacting with internal .NET objects or DLLs, a common technique in phishing-delivered payloads.

Detects the loading or service registration of known vulnerable or malicious signed drivers commonly used in Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks. These drivers are leveraged by adversaries to gain kernel-level privileges, bypass security controls, and terminate endpoint protection agents.

Detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets (Add-MpPreference or Set-MpPreference) to modify Microsoft Defender exclusions (paths, processes, or extensions). This behavior is often associated with adversaries attempting to evade security detection by excluding malicious files or processes from being scanned by Microsoft Defender.

This rule detects activities associated with the MacSync backdoor, specifically focusing on persistence mechanisms such as LaunchAgent manipulation, .repair-run scripts, and suspicious GIT hook usage. It also correlates these events with the termination of macOS notification agents (BTMNotificationAgent, NotificationCenter, BackgroundTaskManagementAgent), which is a tactic used to suppress security alerts during malicious operations.

This rule detects the deletion of critical Windows Defender security files (such as drivers and executables) by the System process. This behavior is highly indicative of an attempt to tamper with or disable security features on a host.

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 behavior chain characteristic of information stealers like Vidar. The process first modifies the Windows Registry to disable the Windows Error Reporting (WER) UI (an anti-analysis technique to suppress crash dialogs) and shortly thereafter initiates an outbound network connection to a public IP, likely for C2 communication or data exfiltration.

Detects the ClosedQuorum 'unhook' evasion technique where a process patches ntdll's EtwEventWrite to suppress ETW telemetry, occurring within a 5-minute window of the same process initiating outbound network connections to known LLM C2 provider APIs or Discord webhooks used for AI-arbitrated decision cycles.

Detects command-line activity indicative of attempts to dump LSASS memory after performing in-memory unhooking or bypassing of security monitoring DLLs (ntdll.dll, amsi.dll, win32kbase.sys). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries attempting to harvest credentials while evading EDR/AV visibility.

Detects the loading of the Alinubx.sys (aka CcProtect.sys) kernel driver, often dropped as nvfsflt64.sys or registered as NvFsFilter, followed by a rapid, simultaneous termination of security product processes. This activity is indicative of a BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) attack chain where kernel-mode primitives are used to terminate EDR/AV processes.

This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events where a process related to Electron (a framework often used for cross-platform desktop applications) executes a hidden, obfuscated PowerShell command, followed by a subsequent PowerShell command to modify Microsoft Defender settings by adding an exclusion path for the 'AppData' directory within 10 minutes of the first process.
