Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender by either executing known Defender Control utilities or by modifying registry keys associated with the disabling of anti-spyware features or the WinDefend service startup.
Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender configuration settings, specifically targeting the disabling of real-time monitoring, behavioral monitoring, or other security protections via the Set-MpPreference cmdlet.
Detects Android applications that request Device Admin privileges followed by the execution of coercive commands, such as disabling biometric authentication, setting admin passwords, or enabling uninstall protection. This behavior is indicative of malicious applications (e.g., RatHat) aiming to establish persistence and prevent uninstallation by the user or security software.
Detects the use of PowerShell with a hidden window ('-w hidden') to execute the 'Add-MpPreference' cmdlet to configure Windows Defender exclusions. This combination is often indicative of malicious activity, such as attempting to bypass security controls stealthily following a UAC bypass or initial access.
Detects modifications to the Windows Registry designed to disable PowerShell ScriptBlockLogging. This is a common defense evasion technique used by attackers to hide malicious PowerShell commands and scripts from security monitoring.
Detects the modification of the registry value 'EnableScriptBlockLogging' to '0' (Disabled) under the PowerShell policy path. This action suppresses the generation of Windows Event ID 4104 (PowerShell Script Block Logging), which is a critical source for monitoring attacker-issued PowerShell commands and detecting post-exploitation activity.
Detects rapid deletion of Windows Defender or WdFilter service registry keys by non-standard processes (not System or ntoskrnl.exe). This pattern is consistent with kernel-mode tamper protection bypass attempts, such as the use of the BTR.sys driver to force the removal of defensive configuration entries, effectively disabling Windows Defender.
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 the loading or installation of a driver file identified as DCRCVDrv.sys followed within 5 minutes by EDR sensor heartbeat loss or process activity, which is characteristic of attempts to tamper with security software or hide malicious activity via a kernel-mode driver.
Detects attempts to impair or disable Microsoft Defender Antivirus through unauthorized exclusion paths, Registry modifications, tampering with protection settings, or forcing policy updates.
Detects attempts to disable Windows Defender features via PowerShell, terminate critical security services using administrative tools like sc.exe or net.exe, or inject/patch AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) within a process context to evade detection.
This rule detects attempts to impair or disable security defenses on Windows systems. It specifically monitors for three categories of malicious behavior: PowerShell-based AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) bypass techniques, commands to stop security-related services (e.g., Windows Defender, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike Falcon), and the use of 'reg' or 'PowerShell' to modify registry keys associated with disabling antivirus or real-time monitoring.
Detects attempts to disable or modify Windows Defender security features, such as Real-time Monitoring, Tamper Protection, or adding unauthorized exclusion paths via PowerShell cmdlets or direct registry modifications.
Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender exclusions by adding a path or process located in user-controlled directories (Downloads, Temp, AppData). This behavior is characteristic of adversaries attempting to suppress security alerts for malicious binaries masquerading as legitimate software.
Detects the creation or modification of Registry keys within 'Image File Execution Options' (IFEO) intended to associate a debugger with security-critical or monitoring binaries (e.g., Sysmon, Filebeat). This technique is used for defense evasion and persistence by intercepting or preventing the execution of security tools.
Detects attempts to terminate or delete security-related services and logging agents, such as Sysmon, Filebeat, and various endpoint protection agents, using legitimate Windows system utilities like taskkill, sc, or wmic.
Detects attempts to disable PowerShell Script Block Logging via registry modification or by using the Set-ItemProperty command. Disabling this security feature prevents visibility into the actual contents of executed PowerShell scripts, which is a common tactic used by adversaries to evade detection.

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.

Detects instances where a process directly reads ntdll.dll from the disk (e.g., C:\Windows\System32). This behavior is a common technique used by malware to bypass EDR hooks by reading a clean copy of the DLL to restore original syscall stubs, commonly known as hook removal or unhooking. The rule excludes common system processes and trusted security software paths.
