Detects the presence of the 'PSEXESVC' named pipe activity over SMB, which is a hallmark indicator of the PsExec tool being used to facilitate remote execution and lateral movement.
Detects network traffic indicative of the EternalBlue (MS17-010) exploit attempt against SMBv1 services. The rule specifically looks for SMB packets with transaction command patterns associated with this exploit, which was commonly used by the WannaCry ransomware.
Detects potential DCOM-based lateral movement by monitoring for suspicious process spawns from COM surrogates (dllhost.exe), WMI provider hosts (wmiprvse.exe), or remote invocation of office/management applications (mmc.exe, excel.exe, outlook.exe) that subsequently execute command shells or scripting interpreters.
Detects the execution of native Windows utilities (vssadmin, wmic, bcdedit) used to inhibit system recovery or modify boot configuration, such as deleting shadow copies or disabling recovery features. The rule further flags these actions when executed by suspicious parent processes, processes outside of standard system paths, or via WMI/DCOM interfaces frequently associated with ransomware and lateral movement.
This rule detects a high volume of remote desktop session changes (logon/logoff) for a single user within a one-hour window. Event IDs 4778 and 4779 indicate a session reconnected or disconnected, respectively. A high count (>=10) could suggest suspicious activity such as session hijacking, rapid reconnections by an attacker, or automated tools interacting with remote sessions.
Detects signs of unauthorized persistence establishment on Cisco SD-WAN nodes (vManage, vSmart, vBond). This rule monitors for modifications to authorized_keys files, creation of suspicious local accounts (e.g., troot), and configuration changes to permit root SSH logins, which are known tactics used to maintain persistent backdoor access following exploitation.
This rule detects potential post-compromise mailbox reconnaissance by correlating suspicious sign-in events (non-interactive or unmanaged device usage, often associated with AiTM token replay) with subsequent mailbox or compliance search operations targeting payroll and HR-related keywords within a 60-minute window.
This rule detects potential ransomware lateral movement patterns by correlating specific network connection attempts (SMB/RDP/RPC) with the observed creation of files having the '.prinzeugen' extension on the same host within a 2-hour window. This behavior is indicative of a ransomware strain propagating across the network and performing encryption.
Detects the execution of RDP files (mstsc.exe) initiated by common application vectors (email clients, browsers, archive utilities) from suspicious user-writable paths like Temp, Downloads, or AppData directories. This behavior is consistent with Turla group's phishing delivery chain where malicious RDP files are used for persistence or lateral movement.
Detects Zerologon CVE-2020-1472 exploitation against domain controllers
Detects indicators of SSH-based lateral movement and credential access, including suspicious SSH command-line flags (e.g., BatchMode, StrictHostKeyChecking), manual enumeration of SSH keys via ssh-add, inspection of agent socket variables, and unauthorized access to critical SSH configuration and identity files by non-standard processes.
Detects AzureHound or roadtx bulk enumeration of Microsoft Graph API endpoints using tokens obtained via CVE-2025-0309 CA policy bypass, characterized by high-frequency GET requests to /v1.0/users, /v1.0/groups, /v1.0/devices, /v1.0/servicePrincipals from Edge client IDs (f44b1140-bc5e-48c6-8dc0-5cf5a53c0e34 or 22098786-6e16-43cc-a27d-191a01a1e3b5) with password-only amr claim and no MFA.
Detects suspicious HTTP requests and API activity targeting Fortinet devices, specifically matching patterns associated with known vulnerabilities like CVE-2022-40684 and CVE-2024-21762. The rule monitors for unauthorized REST API calls, attempts to interact with sensitive administrative endpoints, and patterns indicating potential authentication bypass or remote code execution attempts on FortiGate, FortiOS, and FortiProxy appliances.
Detects network connections over port 3389 (RDP) initiated by processes other than standard Remote Desktop clients (mstsc.exe). This rule specifically looks for suspicious indicators such as execution from non-standard or temporary file paths, or the use of common living-off-the-land binaries (like powershell.exe, cmd.exe, rundll32.exe) that might be acting as a proxy for remote access or lateral movement.
Detects Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) lateral movement activity by monitoring for mmc.exe and dllhost.exe network connections to non-local endpoints or when these processes are spawned by suspicious parent processes typically associated with command execution or malicious behavior.
Detects the suspicious creation of executable files in C:\ProgramData with randomized paths, typically associated with the SystemBC backdoor. The detection rule correlates this file creation event with co-occurring suspicious activities indicative of ransomware operations, such as the creation of known ransomware-related files (e.g., decryptor notes) or signs of lateral movement via non-standard network traffic and SMB activity.
Detects bulk enumeration of Microsoft Graph API endpoints (users, groups, devices, service principals) characteristic of tools like AzureHound or roadtx. The detection focuses on high-frequency GET requests originating from known Edge browser client IDs associated with CA policy bypass (CVE-2025-0309) where tokens lack MFA claims, indicating unauthorized reconnaissance in an Azure/Entra ID environment.
This rule detects potential token theft or MFA bypass by correlating successful MFA-satisfied interactive sign-ins with subsequent non-interactive sign-ins (token refreshes) occurring within a 60-minute window from different IP addresses for the same user. This pattern is indicative of an attacker stealing a session token (e.g., via session cookie theft or AiTM phishing) and using it to authenticate from a different location.
Detects instances where a user successfully authenticates using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) from one location, followed by a Single-Factor Authentication (SFA) logon from a different location within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of potential session hijacking or session cookie theft where an attacker reuses an authenticated session or manipulates the authentication flow to bypass MFA requirements.
Detects unauthorized access and command execution associated with MSP service accounts. The rule triggers on successful SSH authentication using specific service account names (e.g., egnyteservice) followed by the execution of interactive shells under those same service account contexts, which is indicative of potential lateral movement or compromise in downstream environments.
Detects SSH, SFTP, or SCP connections originating from internal edge appliances such as pfSense firewalls or Synology NAS devices directed at internal network hosts. This activity is consistent with VerdantBamboo BRICKSTORM lateral movement, where compromised edge infrastructure is leveraged as a pivot point to gain access to the internal network.
