This rule detects suspicious command-line executions on Windows systems, as identified in a CISA 'Living off the Land' report. The rule looks for specific patterns in process command lines that, while potentially benign in isolation, could indicate reconnaissance, lateral movement, or data staging activities when observed in concert. Examples include the use of 7-Zip for archiving with a password, specific `pcwrun.exe` or `rar.exe` commands, `ping` commands with unusual parameters or output redirection, `dir` commands targeting network shares, `wmic` commands for process creation or `whoami` execution, `net use` commands for IPC shares, `xcopy` for data movement, and PowerShell commands to launch hidden batch files.

This rule detects remote procedure calls (RPC) targeting the MS-SRVS interface (UUID: 4b324fc8-1670-01d3-1278-5a47bf6ee188) which is associated with the Server Service. Abuse of this service can be used for lateral movement within a network, potentially for creating remote shares or other administrative functions. The detection relies on logs from an RPC Firewall.

This rule detects the use of the 'net use' command to connect to Windows administrative shares (C$, ADMIN$, IPC$). Adversaries often use these shares for lateral movement, file transfer, and remote execution within a network. The rule specifically looks for command-line executions containing 'net use' followed by one of the common administrative share names, case-insensitively.

This rule detects remote procedure call (RPC) activity related to the Print System Remote Protocol (MS-RPRN) and Print System Asynchronous Remote Protocol (MS-PAR) interfaces. Specifically, it looks for RPC Firewall events (EventLog: RPCFW, EventID: 3) where the InterfaceUuid matches known UUIDs associated with these printing protocols. This activity can indicate an attempt to abuse remote printing services for lateral movement within a network, potentially exploiting vulnerabilities like CVE-2021-34527 (PrintNightmare).

This rule detects the execution of PsExec via the command line on Windows systems. PsExec is a legitimate Microsoft tool that allows administrators to execute processes on remote systems, but it is also frequently abused by adversaries for lateral movement and remote execution within a compromised network.

This rule detects remote procedure calls (RPC) specifically targeting the Remote Registry Protocol (MS-RRP) interface (UUID: 338cd001-2244-31f1-aaaa-900038001003) for information collection. It filters out common administrative operations (OpNum 6, 7, 8, 13, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 35) to reduce false positives, focusing on suspicious reconnaissance activities against the registry from a remote system.

This rule detects the use of the 'net use' command to connect to Windows administrative shares (C$, ADMIN$, IPC$). It specifically looks for these commands being executed by users who are not part of the 'Information Technology' department or who have the title 'Intern', indicating potentially suspicious activity or a deviation from standard administrative practices. The rule leverages user enrichment data to refine its detection.

This rule detects a specific lateral movement technique leveraging the MMC20.Application COM object. It identifies instances where 'mmc.exe' is spawned as a child process of 'svchost.exe' with the command line argument '-Embedding'. This behavior is indicative of the MMC20.Application COM object being used for remote code execution, often for lateral movement within a network.

Detects log entries that appear in exploitation attempts against Microsoft Exchange Remote Code Execution vulnerability CVE-2021-42321. Specifically, it looks for Event IDs 6 or 8 from the msexchange-management service containing specific error messages related to cmdlet failures or unhandled exceptions during Get-App operations, which are indicative of the exploitation.

This rule detects the creation of remote PowerShell sessions by monitoring for the 'wsmprovhost.exe' process. It triggers when 'wsmprovhost.exe' appears as either the main process image or as a parent process, indicating an active PowerShell remote session, typically facilitated by Windows Remote Management (WinRM).

Detects the execution of mstsc.exe (Microsoft Terminal Services Client) when its parent process is an uncommon application, specifically web browsers or email clients. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to establish an RDP connection after downloading or receiving a malicious .rdp file, potentially as part of an initial access or lateral movement attempt.

This rule detects the use of 'net use' commands to connect to Windows administrative shares (C$, ADMIN$, IPC$) from a principal IP address associated with a Windows asset entity. It correlates process launch events with asset entity data, specifically looking for Windows machines within the 'Domain Computers' group. This activity can indicate lateral movement or remote access by an adversary.

This rule detects suspicious process creation patterns that may indicate FIN7 exploitation activity. Specifically, it looks for `cmd.exe` being spawned by `notepad++.exe` or `notepad++.exe` being spawned by `rdpinit.exe`. These process relationships are indicative of potential post-exploitation actions after initial access, possibly via compromised RDP credentials as described in the referenced Google blog.

This rule detects the use of the 'net use' command to connect to Windows administrative shares (C$, ADMIN$, IPC$) by users who are members of the 'Domain Admins' group. It specifically looks for process launch events where the command line contains 'net use' followed by one of the administrative share names. The rule correlates this activity with user entity data to identify if the executing user is part of the 'Domain Admins' group, indicating potential lateral movement or administrative activity.
