The following analytic detects the modification of the Windows Defender MpEngine registry value, specifically setting MpEnablePus to 0x00000000. This detection leverages endpoint registry logs, focusing on changes within the path "*\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows Defender\\MpEngine*". This activity is significant as it indicates an attempt to disable key Windows Defender features, potentially allowing malware to evade detection. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to undetected malware execution, persistence, and further system compromise. Immediate investigation and endpoint isolation are recommended.
The analytic detects the modification of the Windows registry to disable the Windows Defender Submit Samples Consent feature. This activity is significant as it indicates an attempt to bypass or evade detection by preventing Windows Defender from submitting samples for further analysis. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute malicious code without being detected by Windows Defender, leading to potential system compromise.
The analytic identifies the disabling of the firewall using the netsh application. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions that include keywords like "firewall," "off," or "disable." This activity is significant because disabling the firewall can expose the system to external threats, allowing malware to communicate with its command and control (C2) server. If confirmed malicious, this action could lead to unauthorized data exfiltration, further malware downloads, and broader network compromise.
The following analytic identifies a suspicious series of command-line executions attempting to disable multiple services. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on processes where "sc.exe" is used with parameters like "config" or "Disabled" within a short time frame. This activity is significant as it may indicate an adversary's attempt to disable security or other critical services to further compromise the system. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to the attacker achieving persistence, evading detection, or disabling security mechanisms, thereby increasing the risk of further exploitation.
The following analytic identifies excessive usage of `taskkill.exe`, a command-line utility used to terminate processes. The detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on instances where `taskkill.exe` is executed ten or more times within a one-minute span. This behavior is significant as adversaries often use `taskkill.exe` to disable security tools or other critical processes to evade detection. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to bypass security defenses, maintain persistence, and further compromise the system.
The analytic detects the presence of any version of the 3CXDesktopApp, also known as the 3CX Desktop App, on Mac or Windows systems. It leverages endpoint data to identify instances of the application running. This activity is significant because 3CX has identified vulnerabilities in versions 18.12.407 and 18.12.416, which could be exploited by attackers. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the affected systems.
The following analytic detects the execution of the 'setcap' utility to enable the SUID bit on Linux systems. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data, focusing on process names and command-line arguments that indicate the use of 'setcap' with specific capabilities. This activity is significant because setting the SUID bit allows a user to temporarily gain root access, posing a substantial security risk. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could escalate privileges, execute arbitrary commands with elevated permissions, and potentially compromise the entire system.
The following analytic detects the execution of "bcdedit.exe" with parameters to set the boot status policy to ignore all failures. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because it can indicate an attempt by ransomware to prevent a compromised machine from booting into automatic repair mode, thereby hindering recovery efforts. If confirmed malicious, this action could allow attackers to maintain control over the infected system, complicating remediation and potentially leading to further damage.
This analytic identifies instances where `wmiprvse.exe` spawns `msbuild.exe`. This behavior is unusual and indicates potential misuse of a COM object or a Living Off The Land (LOLBAS) technique. `msbuild.exe` is typically spawned by `devenv.exe` during legitimate Visual Studio use, not by `wmiprvse.exe`. If confirmed malicious, this could indicate an attacker executing arbitrary code or scripts, potentially leading to system compromise or further malicious activities.
The following analytic detects the process of logging off a user through the use of the quser and logoff commands. By monitoring for these commands, the analytic identifies actions where a user session is forcibly terminated, which could be part of an administrative task or a potentially unauthorized access attempt. This detection helps identify potential misuse or malicious activity where a user’s access is revoked without proper authorization, providing insight into potential security incidents involving account management or session manipulation.
The analytic identifies the creation of a suspicious file named 'win.dat' in the root directory (C:\). This behavior is significant as it is commonly used by malware like NjRAT to check for administrative privileges on a compromised host. If confirmed malicious, this activity could indicate that the malware has administrative access, allowing it to perform high-privilege actions, potentially leading to further system compromise and persistence.
The analytic detects the execution of the Apache Benchmark binary (ab.exe), which is commonly used by MetaSploit payloads. It focuses on process creation events where the original file name is 'ab.exe'. This activity may indicate a MetaSploit attack, potentially leading to unauthorized network connections, system compromise, and data exfiltration. Immediate investigation is required.
This detection identifies suspicious modifications to the Windows Compatibility Telemetry registry settings, specifically within the "TelemetryController" registry key and "Command" registry value. This activity is significant because CompatTelRunner.exe and the "Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser" task always run as System and can be used to elevate privileges or establish a highly privileged persistence mechanism. If confirmed malicious, this could enable unauthorized code execution, privilege escalation, or persistent access to the compromised system.
The following analytic identifies 'netsh' processes that delete or modify firewall configurations. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions containing specific keywords. This activity is significant because it can indicate malware, such as NJRAT, attempting to alter firewall settings to evade detection or remove traces. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to disable security measures, facilitating further compromise and persistence within the network.
This analytic detects the deletion of registry keys by processes that are not typically associated with critical system or program files. This activity is significant as it may indicate malware, such as the Double Zero wiper, attempting to evade defenses or cause destructive payload impacts. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to significant system damage, loss of critical configurations, and potential disruption of services.
The following analytic detects attempts to disable the memory crash dump feature on Windows systems by setting the registry value to 0. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry datamodel, specifically monitoring changes to the CrashDumpEnabled registry key. This activity is significant because disabling crash dumps can hinder forensic analysis and incident response efforts. If confirmed malicious, this action could be part of a broader attack strategy, such as data destruction or system destabilization, as seen with HermeticWiper, potentially leading to significant operational disruptions and data loss.
The following analytic detects the modification of the Windows registry to disable the Notification Center on a host machine. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, specifically looking for changes to the "DisableNotificationCenter" registry value set to "0x00000001." This activity is significant because disabling the Notification Center can be a tactic used by RAT malware to hide its presence and subsequent actions. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to operate stealthily, potentially leading to further system compromise and data exfiltration.
This analytic identifies suspicious child processes spawned by calc.exe, indicative of DLL side-loading techniques. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process GUIDs, names, and parent processes. This activity is significant as it is commonly associated with Qakbot malware, which uses calc.exe to load malicious DLLs via regsvr32.exe. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, maintain persistence, and escalate privileges, posing a severe threat to the environment.
The analytic detects arbitrary command execution using Windows msdt.exe, a Diagnostics Troubleshooting Wizard. It identifies instances where msdt.exe is invoked via the ms-msdt:/ protocol handler to retrieve a remote payload. This activity indicates an exploitation attempt leveraging msdt.exe to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or persist within the environment, posing a severe security risk.
The following analytic detects the use of the findstr command to search for unsecured credentials in Group Policy Preferences (GPP). It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on command-line executions involving findstr.exe with references to SYSVOL and cpassword. This activity is significant because it indicates an attempt to locate and potentially decrypt embedded credentials in GPP, which could lead to unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to escalate privileges or gain access to sensitive systems and data within the domain.
The analytic detects instances where the Windows InstallUtil.exe binary loads `vaultcli.dll` and `Samlib.dll`. This activity is significant because it can indicate an attempt to execute code that bypasses application control and captures credentials using tools like Mimikatz. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow an attacker to steal credentials, potentially leading to unauthorized access and further compromise of the system.
