This rule detects suspicious activity where a user clicks on a URL from an email and subsequently accesses a '.workers.dev' domain that contains keywords commonly associated with credential harvesting or malicious activity (e.g., 'docusign', 'onedrive', 'password_reset'). This pattern often indicates a phishing attempt where an attacker uses a Cloudflare Workers domain to host a malicious landing page.

This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events indicative of the Albabat malware. It looks for instances where a device performs WMI-based reconnaissance (querying CPU, csproduct, OS, or NIC information) followed by or preceded by network communication with either a GitHub repository containing 'billdev' or a Supabase instance. The time window for these events is set to 30 minutes, suggesting a contextual link between the reconnaissance and subsequent network activity.

This rule detects potential social engineering attempts in external direct messages (DMs) by identifying messages that impersonate IT helpdesk or support personnel, or discuss 'working from home' scenarios. It specifically looks for keywords like 'helpdesk', 'help desk', 'IT support', and 'working from home' in the recipient details or sender display name of external messages within the last 5 days. The goal is to surface lures that aim to trick users into revealing sensitive information or performing actions under false pretenses.

Detects execution of ToastNotify.exe with the sendtoast subcommand, which dispatches a phishing notification with a title and body text using a specified AUMID for impersonation. Review CommandLine for Windows.Defender.SecurityCenter, MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe, or MSEdge to identify the application being impersonated.

Detects User-Agent rotation behavior from a single Source IP (c-ip) associated with more than 3 distinct
User-Agent (c-useragent) values within a 5-minute window. This behavior is characteristic of the Nuclei
'-random-agent' flag, which allows the scanner to bypass WAF (Web Application Firewall) detections by
using a different, valid browser User-Agent string for each request.

Detects any execution of ToastNotify.exe, the .NET assembly used to dispatch phishing toast notifications impersonating legitimate applications. This catch-all rule fires when the binary runs with an unrecognized or absent subcommand. In environments that support rule ordering, evaluate subcommand-specific rules (getaumid, sendtoast, custom) before this rule. ToastNotify.exe has no known legitimate enterprise use.

Detects PowerShell constructing toast notification XML with an external HTTP image URL alongside WinRT toast API calls. When the notification is displayed the notification platform fetches the image, creating an outbound connection to an attacker-controlled server for delivery confirmation. Sourced from the toastnotify-bof repository incoming-call.xml and teams-security-alert.xml example payloads.

This rule identifies devices running vulnerable versions of Notepad++. It parses the software version to determine if it is older than 8.9.1, which was identified as vulnerable in a security incident. The rule specifically looks for Notepad++ installations and flags any instances where the major version is less than 8, or if the major version is 8 and the minor version is less than 9, or if the major version is 8, the minor version is 9, and the patch version is less than 1.
