This rule detects commands executed on Cisco devices that indicate file deletion or disk formatting activities. It specifically looks for keywords like 'erase', 'delete', and 'format' in Cisco AAA logs, which could signify an attempt to remove files from flash file systems or wipe disk structures. This activity can be part of defense evasion or impact tactics by adversaries.

Detects events generated by user-mode applications when they call the CveEventWrite API, indicating that a known vulnerability is potentially being exploited. Microsoft started using this log in January 2020, notably with CVE-2020-0601 (a Windows CryptoAPI vulnerability). However, the rule's description notes that this log has historically seen limited use for reporting CVEs.

This rule identifies when a DNS Zone is either modified or deleted within Google Cloud Platform. This activity is captured through specific Google Cloud DNS API calls: 'Dns.ManagedZones.Delete', 'Dns.ManagedZones.Update', and 'Dns.ManagedZones.Patch'. Such actions can indicate malicious activity aimed at disrupting services or redirecting traffic, or legitimate administrative changes.

Detects file renames where the target filename uses an uncommon double extension. This behavior is often associated with ransomware activity, where files are encrypted and then renamed with a custom extension, such as ".jpg.crypted" or ".docx.locky". The rule specifically looks for common document and image file extensions followed by another extension, while filtering out known legitimate backup or temporary file extensions.

Detects when an AWS EFS Fileshare is deleted. This action can indicate an attempt to disrupt availability or destroy data. Adversaries might delete file systems to impact operations or cover their tracks. Note that an EFS file system cannot be deleted if it has active mount targets, implying that mount targets would need to be deleted first.

Detects potential overwriting and deletion of a file using the 'dd' command. This rule specifically looks for executions of 'dd' where the output file ('of=') is specified and the input is either '/dev/zero' (writing zeros) or '/dev/null' (effectively truncating/deleting content). This pattern is commonly used for data destruction.
