Detects the use of the "apt" and "apt-get" commands to execute a shell or proxy commands.
Such behavior may be associated with privilege escalation, unauthorized command execution, or to break out from restricted environments.

This rule detects activity related to AzureHound, a BloodHound data collector specifically designed for Microsoft Azure environments. It identifies AzureHound's presence by looking for its default 'User-Agent' string in Azure sign-in logs after a successful authentication (ResultType: 0). This indicates that an authenticated user or service principal is using AzureHound to enumerate Azure resources, which is often a precursor to further reconnaissance or privilege escalation within a cloud environment.

This rule detects the execution of BloodHound and SharpHound, which are reconnaissance tools used to map Active Directory environments. It identifies these tools by their product name, description, company name, executable image names, and specific command-line arguments often used for data collection, such as 'CollectionMethod All', '--Loop', '--PortScanTimeout', '-JsonFolder', '-ZipFileName', 'DCOnly', and '--NoSaveCache', as well as PowerShell cmdlets like 'Invoke-Bloodhound' and 'Get-BloodHoundData'.

Detects read access to a domain user object from a non-machine account, which can indicate user enumeration activity within Active Directory. The rule specifically looks for Event ID 4662 (An operation was performed on an object) where the ObjectType corresponds to a user object and the AccessMask includes read property permissions. It filters out activity from machine accounts and specific Microsoft Online (MSOL) accounts to reduce false positives.

This rule detects the execution of common network sniffing tools, specifically 'tcpdump' or 'tshark', when they are invoked with arguments indicating an attempt to capture network traffic from a specific interface. The rule looks for the '-c' argument (for count) and the '-i' argument (for interface) in the command line, which are typical indicators of active network sniffing.

This rule detects specific command-line activities associated with the Turla APT group's lateral movement and discovery tactics. It looks for the use of 'net use' to connect to administrative shares (specifically C$) with a hardcoded password, and 'dir' commands used for file and directory discovery, targeting document files and executables in the TEMP directory. These commands are indicative of an adversary attempting to move laterally within a network and gather information about the environment.

Detects potential MuddyWater APT activity involving the use of mshta for execution, PowerShell for system information discovery (operating system, network configuration, security center), and a PowerShell-based backdoor with base64 encoding and web requests.

Detects the installation of suspicious packages using common Linux package managers (apt, yum, rpm, dpkg). The rule specifically looks for keywords associated with network scanning, sniffing, and proxy tools, which could indicate reconnaissance, network analysis, or attempts to bypass network controls by an adversary.

This rule detects the usage of cleartext protocols over a network by monitoring firewall logs for allowed connections to specific destination ports commonly associated with unencrypted services. These ports include HTTP (80, 8080), FTP (21), Telnet (23), and various database or application-specific ports (e.g., 1433, 3306, 1521, 27017, 50000, 11211, 15672, 5900-5904). The rule specifically looks for 'forward' or 'accept' actions, or connections not marked as 'blocked', indicating active cleartext communication. The primary goal is to identify potential credential exposure or sensitive data transmission over insecure channels.

Detects the execution of 'net.exe' or 'net1.exe' with command-line arguments commonly used for discovery activities related to accounts, groups, shares, and services. This rule aims to identify potential reconnaissance or privilege escalation attempts.

This rule detects the creation of specific files that are commonly generated by the BloodHound collection tool, SharpHound. These files, such as 'BloodHound.zip', '_computers.json', '_domains.json', '_groups.json', and others, contain collected Active Directory information. The presence of these files on a system indicates that BloodHound or SharpHound has been used for reconnaissance, which is often a precursor to further malicious activity within an Active Directory environment.

This rule detects the loading of the 'Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.dll' DLL via PowerShell's 'Import-Module' or its alias 'ipmo'. This DLL is part of the Active Directory module for PowerShell and is frequently used by attackers to perform Active Directory enumeration, especially in environments where RSAT tools are not installed or administrative privileges are not readily available. The detection focuses on the command line payload containing both the module import command and the specific DLL name.

This rule detects attempts to harvest Wi-Fi credentials using the `netsh.exe` utility. Specifically, it looks for `netsh.exe` execution with command-line arguments that indicate an attempt to display WLAN profiles and their keys in clear text, which is a common technique used by malware like Agent Tesla to steal Wi-Fi passwords.

Detects potential container discovery by monitoring for common Linux utilities (awk, cat, grep, head, less, more, nl, tail) being used to read specific files within the '/proc' virtual filesystem. Specifically, it looks for access to '/proc/2/' (which would typically be kthreadd outside a container) or '/proc/cgroup' and '/proc/sched' which can reveal containerized environments due to differences in their content or PID mappings.

This rule detects suspicious sub-processes spawned by common web server processes on Linux systems. It specifically looks for web server processes (Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, Node, Caddy, Tomcat, WebSphere) executing common system utilities and commands such as 'whoami', 'ifconfig', 'ip', 'uname', 'cat', 'crontab', 'hostname', 'iptables', 'netstat', 'pwd', and 'route'. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being used to execute commands on the compromised server.

This rule detects attempts to enumerate remote systems on a macOS host using the 'arp' and 'ping' utilities. Specifically, it looks for 'arp -a' commands, which list all current ARP entries, and 'ping' commands targeting common private IP address ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12) as well as localhost (127.0.0.0/8) and APIPA (169.254.0.0/16) ranges. This activity is indicative of an adversary performing network discovery to identify other systems for potential lateral movement.
