The following analytic detects the execution of the SysReq hack to reboot a Linux system host. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data to identify processes executing the command to pipe 'b' to /proc/sysrq-trigger. This activity is significant as it is an uncommon method to reboot a system and was observed in the Awfulshred malware wiper. If confirmed malicious, this technique could indicate the presence of suspicious processes and potential system compromise, leading to unauthorized reboots and disruption of services.

The following analytic identifies the resizing of shadow storage volumes, a technique used by ransomware like CLOP to prevent the recreation of shadow volumes. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions involving "vssadmin.exe" with parameters related to resizing shadow storage. This activity is significant as it indicates an attempt to hinder recovery efforts by manipulating shadow copies. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to successful ransomware deployment, making data recovery difficult and increasing the potential for data loss.

The following analytic identifies attempts to stop services on a system using `net.exe`, `sc.exe` or the "Stop-Service" cmdlet. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry. This activity can be significant as adversaries often terminate security or critical services to evade detection and further their objectives. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to disable security defenses, facilitate ransomware encryption, or disrupt essential services, leading to potential data loss or system compromise.

Detects anomalous AWS Bedrock activity indicative of LLMjacking by correlating multiple phases of an attack chain (Model Enablement, Reconnaissance, Probing, and Execution) performed by a single identity within a short timeframe. This rule identifies attackers leveraging stolen IAM credentials to discover available AI models, probe for vulnerabilities, and execute unauthorized inference requests at scale.

This rule monitors NetScaler ADC/Gateway system logs for configuration modifications (save, add, or set commands) that occur outside of a designated maintenance window. Such activities, when performed off-hours, may indicate unauthorized persistence, defense evasion, or configuration tampering following successful exploitation.

The following analytic detects modifications to files with extensions commonly associated with ransomware. It leverages the Endpoint.Filesystem data model to identify changes in file extensions that match known ransomware patterns.
This activity is significant because it suggests an attacker is attempting to encrypt or alter files, potentially leading to severe data loss and operational disruption.
If confirmed malicious, this activity could result in the encryption of critical data, rendering it inaccessible and causing significant damage to the organization's data integrity and availability.

Detects repeated crashes or restarts of the Citrix NetScaler packet engine (nsppe) correlated with a concurrent spike in inbound DTLS traffic. This pattern is indicative of potential memory-overflow exploitation attempts (consistent with CVE-2026-88772) targeting the VPN virtual server functionality, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

Detects malicious attempts to delete or modify the access control settings of centralized cloud audit log storage, such as S3 buckets, Azure Log Analytics workspaces, or GCP log buckets. These actions aim to impair visibility into an adversary's activities, a common step in anti-forensics and data destruction workflows.

Detects high volumes of DTLS/UDP session-initiation traffic targeting NetScaler VPN virtual servers that are immediately followed by appliance-level error logs or crashes. This behavior is indicative of active probing or exploitation attempts, such as those associated with CVE-2026-88772, where malicious payloads cause service instability.

The following analytic identifies the creation of cloud compute instances by users who have not previously created them. It leverages data from the Change data model, focusing on 'create' actions by users, and cross-references with a baseline of known user activities. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized access or misuse of cloud resources by new or compromised accounts. If confirmed malicious, attackers could deploy unauthorized compute instances, leading to potential data exfiltration, increased costs, or further exploitation within the cloud environment.

This Analytic detects the execution of a process attempting to access the hosts file.
The hosts file is a critical file for network configuration and DNS resolution.
If an attacker gains access to it, they can redirect traffic to malicious websites, serve fake content or block legitimate security websites.
