Detects attempts to access the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process with suspicious access masks. Adversaries often target LSASS to dump credentials for lateral movement or privilege escalation. The rule looks for specific access mask values in Windows Security Event IDs 4656 (handle requested) and 4663 (object access attempt) that are indicative of credential dumping activities, while filtering out known legitimate processes.

This rule detects the execution of `find.exe` or `findstr.exe` on Windows systems when used to search for keywords commonly associated with security tools. Attackers often use these utilities to discover installed security software by piping the output of other reconnaissance commands (like `tasklist` or `whoami`) through `findstr` to filter for specific terms. The rule specifically looks for command-line arguments containing keywords such as "avira", "cb", "cylance", "defender", "kaspersky", "kes", "mc", "sec", "sentinel", "symantec", and "virus", including variations with double quotes.
