308 detections

Detects evidence of an argument-injection attack against MikroTik RouterOS (CVE-2026-86060), where the attacker provides the literal username '-2' during the login process. This action allows the attacker to bypass standard credential validation by exploiting a forged privilege mask. This is typically observed in conjunction with unauthorized access attempts following CVE-2026-67279.

008
Detects a high frequency of SSH connection attempts originating from a single source address within a short timeframe, specifically targeting the initial SSH handshake string. This is indicative of automated brute force or credential stuffing activity against SSH services.

001
Detects anomalous SSH login attempts using the username '-2', which exploits a known argument-injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-86060) in MikroTik RouterOS. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass authentication and obtain unauthorized administrative privileges by forcing the login process to read privilege levels from the terminal file descriptor.

001
Detects outbound connections to a known malicious C2 infrastructure associated with the CARBONATO threat actor. The rule identifies both established SSH sessions using the OpenSSH implementation and the initiation of outbound TCP connections on ports dynamically determined by an MD5 hash, which is a known behavior of this actor's C2 communication strategy.

001
Detects instances where the Redis server process or the Redis AOF check utility writes directly to common SSH authorized_keys file paths. This behavior is indicative of an attacker exploiting a Redis misconfiguration or vulnerability (e.g., Redis RCE) to establish persistence by injecting an unauthorized SSH key.

005
Detects a high volume of failed SSH password authentication attempts from a single source IP address against one or more target hosts within a short time window, which is indicative of an SSH brute-force attack.

Detects the execution of the 'fanout.sh' utility from the /tmp directory, which subsequently spawns 'sshpass' child processes to perform rapid, non-interactive SSH authentication attempts ('StrictHostKeyChecking=no') against multiple internal hosts within a 10-minute window. This behavior is indicative of automated lateral movement, specifically observed by threat actor UNC6240.

001
Detects network activity related to the BEAST ransomware targeting VMware ESXi systems. The rule identifies attempts to stage encryption operations via SSH, including detecting references to known filenames ('encryptor.elf', 'beast_esxi') and the use of the 'vim-cmd' utility to power off virtual machines as part of the preparation for file encryption.

Detects unauthorized modifications to SSH authorized_keys files. Attackers often modify these files to inject their own public keys, ensuring persistent access to a compromised Linux host. This rule excludes known configuration management and provisioning tools to reduce noise.

Detects anomalous SSH authentication patterns characterized by a high volume of failed logon attempts (>= 10) originating from a specific IP address within a short timeframe (30 minutes), followed by a successful authentication to the same target device. This pattern is indicative of a successful credential brute-force or password guessing attack against an exposed SSH service.

This rule detects potentially unauthorized root account activity by monitoring for 'root' logon events and privileged process execution (such as 'su' or 'sudo'). It flags sessions or commands that occur outside of defined business hours, originate from unapproved IP addresses, use unapproved accounts, or are executed via suspicious parent processes, providing a high-confidence indicator of anomalous administrative behavior.

Detects SSH persistence planted during the Red Heron campaign: authorized_keys file writes under a .ssh folder, correlated with process command lines referencing authorized_keys and the operator's observed key comment naming pattern (backdoor / root-shell).
