Detects when adversaries stop services or processes by disabling their respective scheduled tasks in order to conduct data destructive activities. This rule specifically looks for `schtasks.exe` being used with the `/Change`, `/TN`, and `/disable` arguments, targeting important system tasks like BitLocker, ExploitGuard, SystemRestore, UpdateOrchestrator, Windows Defender, WindowsBackup, and WindowsUpdate.
Detects when a user downloads a file from an IP based URL using CertOC.exe
Detects the execution of a shell (powershell, bash, wsl...) via Visual Studio Code tunnel. Attackers can abuse this functionality to establish a C2 channel and execute arbitrary commands on the system.
Detects the installation of VsCode tunnel (code-tunnel) as a service.
This rule detects authentication attempts (both successful and failed) originating from a host with a 16-character alphanumeric workstation name, specifically looking for NTLM authentication. This pattern is characteristic of Metasploit's SMB modules, which often generate random 16-character workstation names during authentication attempts. The rule aims to identify potential lateral movement or reconnaissance activities using Metasploit against Windows systems.
Detects the execution of Impacket's psexec.py by monitoring for specific file share access patterns on the IPC$ share. The rule looks for EventID 5145 (a detailed file share access event) where the ShareName is '\\*\IPC$' and the RelativeTargetName contains 'RemCom_stdin', 'RemCom_stdout', or 'RemCom_stderr'. These file names are characteristic of how Impacket's psexec.py communicates with the remote service.
Detects the execution "AccCheckConsole" a command-line tool for verifying the accessibility implementation of an application's UI.
One of the tests that this checker can run are called "verification routine", which tests for things like Consistency, Navigation, etc.
The tool allows a user to provide a DLL that can contain a custom "verification routine". An attacker can build such DLLs and pass it via the CLI, which would then be loaded in the context of the "AccCheckConsole" utility.

Detects the execution of the "wusa.exe" (Windows Update Standalone Installer) utility to extract ".cab" files using the "/extract" argument from potentially suspicious paths.
Detects attempts to dump Active Directory credentials using Impacket's secretdump tool. This rule specifically looks for Event ID 5145 (A network share object was checked to see whether client can be granted desired access) on the ADMIN$ share, combined with access to a temporary file within the SYSTEM32 directory. This pattern is indicative of secretdump's remote activity to extract credential hashes.
Detects the creation or update of Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) certificate templates that are configured with risky Extended Key Usages (EKUs) and allow the enrollee to supply the subject. This combination can be exploited for privilege escalation and credential access, as described in the 'Certified Pre-Owned' whitepaper, by allowing an attacker to request certificates with arbitrary subject names, potentially impersonating privileged accounts.
Detects changes to the "DisableRestrictedAdmin" registry value in order to disable or enable RestrictedAdmin mode.
RestrictedAdmin mode prevents the transmission of reusable credentials to the remote system to which you connect using Remote Desktop.
This prevents your credentials from being harvested during the initial connection process if the remote server has been compromise

Detects read access to a domain user object from a non-machine account, which can indicate user enumeration activity within Active Directory. The rule specifically looks for Event ID 4662 (An operation was performed on an object) where the ObjectType corresponds to a user object and the AccessMask includes read property permissions. It filters out activity from machine accounts and specific Microsoft Online (MSOL) accounts to reduce false positives.
This rule detects the creation or update of Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) certificate templates that include the 'CT_FLAG_ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT' flag. This flag allows a user to specify the subject name in a certificate request, which can be abused for privilege escalation or credential access, particularly in scenarios involving misconfigured AD CS environments as described in the 'Certified Pre-Owned' research.
This rule detects Mimikatz DCSync activity by monitoring Windows Security Event ID 4662. Specifically, it looks for access attempts to replicate directory changes (identified by specific GUIDs) with an AccessMask of '0x100'. To reduce false positives, it filters out activity from 'Window Manager' and service accounts starting with 'NT AUT', 'MSOL_', or ending with '$'.
Detects remote printer driver load from a Detailed File Share event in Windows Security logs, which is indicative of successful exploitation attempts against the Print Spooler vulnerabilities CVE-2021-1675 (PrintNightmare) and CVE-2021-34527.
This rule detects attempts to access the hidden administrative network share 'ADMIN$' on Windows systems. The 'ADMIN$' share is a default hidden share that maps to the Windows directory (usually C:\Windows) and is primarily used for remote administration. Adversaries often leverage these administrative shares for lateral movement, file transfer, and remote execution within a compromised network. The rule specifically looks for Event ID 5140, which indicates a network share object was accessed, and filters for the 'Admin$' ShareName. It also filters out access from computer accounts (ending with '$') to reduce false positives from legitimate system activities.
Detects suspicious access to Microsoft Teams application's authentication tokens and local storage, which may contain sensitive credentials. This rule specifically looks for Event ID 4663 (Object Access) where the accessed object path contains '\Microsoft\Teams\Cookies' or '\Microsoft\Teams\Local Storage\leveldb', and the accessing process is NOT the legitimate 'Teams.exe'. This indicates an attempt by an unauthorized process to steal Teams authentication tokens.
Detects scenarios where a potentially unauthorized application or user modifies the system time. This can be an indicator of defense evasion or an attempt to disrupt system operations or forensic analysis.
Detects the installation of services that are characteristic of Metasploit's SMB PsExec module (exploit/windows/smb/psexec) and Impacket's psexec.py. The rule specifically looks for Windows Security Event ID 4697 (A service was installed in the system) where the ServiceFileName matches a pattern of '%systemroot%\<8_random_chars>.exe' and the ServiceName matches a pattern of 4, 8, or 16 alphabetic characters, while excluding the known legitimate 'PSEXESVC' service.
This rule detects when an external disk drive or a USB mass storage device is recognized by the system. It specifically looks for Windows Security Event ID 6416, which indicates that a new external device was recognized, and further filters for devices classified as 'DiskDrive' or with the description 'USB Mass Storage Device'. This can be an indicator of initial access, data exfiltration, or the introduction of malicious software via removable media.
Detects the usage of specific LDAP attributes ('primaryInternationalISDNNumber', 'otherFacsimileTelephoneNumber', 'primaryTelexNumber') that are known to be used by the LDAPFragger tool for data exchange via LDAP. These attributes are generally not commonly used in enterprise environments, making their appearance suspicious and indicative of potential Command and Control activity.
