The following analytic detects the use of Regsvr32.exe to register DLLs from suspicious paths such as AppData, ProgramData, or Windows Temp directories. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution logs and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because Regsvr32.exe can be abused to proxy execution of malicious code, bypassing traditional security controls. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to system compromise, data exfiltration, or further lateral movement within the network.

The analytic detects instances of `regsvcs.exe` running without command line arguments. This behavior typically indicates process injection, where another process manipulates `regsvcs.exe`. The detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names, IDs, and command-line executions. This activity is significant as it may signal an attempt to evade detection and execute malicious code. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could achieve code execution, potentially leading to privilege escalation, persistence, or access to sensitive information.

The following analytic detects the execution of "dsquery.exe" with arguments targeting `TrustedDomain` queries directly from the command line. This behavior is identified using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as it often indicates domain trust discovery, a common step in lateral movement or privilege escalation by adversaries. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to map domain trusts, potentially leading to further exploitation and unauthorized access to trusted domains.

The following analytic detects the use of the 'dd' command to overwrite files on a Linux system. It leverages data from Linux Auditd telemetry, focusing on process execution logs that include command-line details. This activity is significant because adversaries often use the 'dd' command to destroy or irreversibly overwrite files, disrupting system availability and services. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to data destruction, making recovery difficult and potentially causing significant operational disruptions.

The following analytic detects suspicious use of the `modprobe` command to unload kernel modules, which may indicate an attempt to disable critical system components or evade detection. The `modprobe` utility manages kernel modules, and unauthorized unloading of modules can disrupt system security features, remove logging capabilities, or conceal malicious activities. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized `modprobe` operations involving module unloading, this analytic helps identify potential tampering with kernel functionality, enabling security teams to investigate and address possible threats to system integrity.

This analytic detects the execution of the 'shred' command on a Linux machine, which is used to overwrite files to make them unrecoverable. It leverages data from Linux Auditd, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because the 'shred' command can be used in destructive attacks, such as those seen in the Industroyer2 malware targeting energy facilities. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to the permanent destruction of critical files, severely impacting system integrity and data availability.

The analytic identifies modifications to the registry path .wav\\OpenWithProgIds, associated with the Snake Malware campaign. This activity is significant because Snake's WerFault.exe uses this registry path to decrypt an encrypted blob containing critical components like the AES key, IV, and paths for its kernel driver and loader. If confirmed malicious, this could allow the attacker to load and execute Snake's kernel driver, leading to potential system compromise and persistent access.

Detects scenarios where the OpenSSH server starts listening on an SSH socket, which could indicate an attacker enabling the service for remote access or persistence. This rule specifically looks for EventID 4 from the OpenSSH service with the process name 'sshd' and a payload starting with 'Server listening on '.

Detects potential exploitation attempts of CVE-2023-2283, an authentication bypass vulnerability in libSSH. The exploitation method causes an error message indicating that keys for curve25519 could not be generated. This error message serves as a sign of an exploitation attempt, not necessarily a successful exploitation.
