Detects DNS queries for IP lookup services such as "api.ipify.org" originating from a non-browser process. This behavior can indicate reconnaissance activity by malware or an attacker attempting to determine the external IP address of a compromised system.

This rule detects when a DNS server receives a zone transfer request for a non-existent or non-authoritative zone, indicated by EventID 6004 from the Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service. This event signifies an attempt to perform a DNS zone transfer that was rejected by the DNS server. Such attempts can be part of reconnaissance activities by adversaries trying to map out a network's DNS infrastructure.

This rule detects the execution of 'git.exe' or 'git-remote-https.exe' when attempting to clone a remote repository. The detection is specifically triggered if the command line arguments contain keywords commonly associated with exploits, vulnerabilities, or proof-of-concept code, such as 'exploit', 'Vulns', 'vulnerability', 'RemoteCodeExecution', 'Invoke-', 'CVE-', 'poc-', 'ProofOfConcept', 'proxyshell', 'log4shell', 'eternalblue', 'eternal-blue', or 'MS17-'. This aims to identify reconnaissance activities where adversaries might be searching for or downloading publicly available exploit code.

Detects reconnaissance activities targeting privileged Active Directory users or groups by monitoring Windows Security Event ID 4661. The rule specifically looks for access attempts to objects identified as privileged users or groups based on their Security Identifier (SID) suffixes or names containing 'admin'. It filters out activity from machine accounts to reduce false positives.

This rule detects the execution of the `nslookup` command specifically querying for LDAP service records (`_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.`). This type of query is often used during the reconnaissance phase by attackers to discover Active Directory domain controllers and their associated services within a network. This activity can indicate an adversary attempting to map out the network infrastructure.

This rule detects the execution of 'adidnsdump' via 'python.exe'. Adidnsdump is a tool used for enumerating and exporting all DNS records in an Active Directory integrated DNS zone. This activity is typically performed for reconnaissance purposes within internal networks, allowing an attacker to gather information about the network's structure and resources by querying/modifying DNS records via LDAP.

Detects the execution of "wmic.exe" with the "process" flag, which adversaries might use to list processes running on the compromised host or list installed software hotfixes and patches. This rule specifically excludes commands that involve creating processes, focusing on reconnaissance activities.

Detects processes spawned from web servers (PHP, Tomcat, IIS, etc.) that perform reconnaissance looking for the existence of popular scripting tools (perl, python, wget) on the system via the help commands. This activity is often associated with webshells attempting to understand the capabilities of the compromised server.
