Detects the execution of the 'stat' command with specific arguments ('-f', '%Su', '/dev/console') which is indicative of the AMOS Stealer attempting to pivot user context to the active console user. This activity is typically performed by the '~/.agent' script associated with the malware.

This YARA rule detects the presence of a credential stealer by identifying a cluster of file names commonly associated with Firefox profile data. The rule specifically looks for at least five out of seven distinct file names: 'key4.db', 'cert9.db', 'cookies.sqlite', 'logins.json', 'formhistory.sqlite', 'places.sqlite', and 'prefs.js'. These files are critical components of a Firefox profile, storing sensitive information such as encryption keys, certificates, cookies, login credentials, browsing history, and user preferences. The co-occurrence of these file names within a scanned target suggests an attempt to access, exfiltrate, or manipulate Firefox user data, often indicative of malware like credential stealers.

Shebangs (#!) are native to Unix-like operating systems (macOS and Linux). Standard Windows consoles (Command Prompt and PowerShell) do not natively use them. However, they do work on Windows when using tools such as the Python Launcher, Git Bash, Cygwin, or Unix-like environments such as WSL. In simple terms, a Shebang tells the operating system which interpreter should execute a script. For example: #!/usr/bin/python3

For this query, I would recommend performing some threat hunting first and creating a whitelist for known false positives or trusted devices (for example, devices managed by developers). Once the detection is properly tuned, it can be a good way to monitor the download or import of Shebang files on suspicious directories, making it a strong candidate for a threat detection rule.

This rule detects a multi-step execution chain where Node.js (or npm) spawns a shell process, which then launches Bun. This pattern has been observed in malicious packages to hide the final payload from simple scanners. It is crucial to review the full parent-child process tree for any alerts. Users should be questioned about recent software installations or clicked links, and security teams should be involved if the activity is suspicious.

Detects a high volume of successful network connections to multiple unique cloud storage services (Dropbox, Box.com, OneDrive) from a single device and user account within an hour. This could indicate data exfiltration or unauthorized access to cloud storage.

Detects the creation of specific systemd service files, macOS LaunchAgents, or payload files ('update.py') used by the Miasma toolkit for its GitHub polling backdoor. This rule identifies file creation or modification events indicative of the Miasma toolkit establishing persistence on Linux and macOS systems.

Detects process command lines that contain patterns indicative of obfuscated payload execution, specifically the combination of 'eval', 'base64', and '-d'. This technique is frequently used by adversaries to decode and execute memory-resident stages without dropping secondary payloads to disk.

Shebangs (#!) are native to Unix-like operating systems (macOS and Linux). Standard Windows consoles (Command Prompt and PowerShell) do not natively use them. However, they do work on Windows when using tools such as the Python Launcher, Git Bash, Cygwin, or Unix-like environments such as WSL. In simple terms, a Shebang tells the operating system which interpreter should execute a script. For example: #!/usr/bin/python3

The first thing that came to my mind was to hunt for cases where these kinds of files were received via email, and yes, I quickly found a few Python and ECM-related examples.
