Detects high-volume vulnerability and spyware threat activity originating from external (UNTRUSTED) sources targeting public-facing IP addresses.
This detection identifies potential exploitation attempts, scanning activity, and malicious payload delivery by monitoring PAN-OS threat logs where severity is not informational and the subtype indicates vulnerability or spyware.

The rule triggers when:

A source IP generates ≥100 reset-both actions within 1 hour (indicative of blocked exploit or aggressive scanning), or

A source IP generates ≥10 non-reset actions within 1 hour (indicative of potentially successful or partially successful attempts)

Enrichment includes ASN, country, organization, and city to support attribution, threat hunting, and blocking decisions.

This rule detects the use of common file transfer and remote access protocols (SSH, FTP, SMB, TELNET, FTPS, SMB.v3) communicating over non-standard ports. Adversaries often use non-standard ports to bypass firewall rules, evade detection, or obscure their command and control (C2) traffic. The rule specifically excludes the standard ports for these protocols to focus on anomalous behavior.

This detection rule identifies hosts where data archiving using 7-Zip is closely followed by network traffic to the temp.sh file-sharing service. This correlation suggests a potential data staging and exfiltration sequence, a TTP observed in the Lynx Ransomware campaign.

The following analytic detects the use of default or publicly known named pipes associated with Cobalt Strike. It leverages Sysmon EventID 17 and 18 to identify specific named pipes commonly used by Cobalt Strike's Artifact Kit and Malleable C2 Profiles. This activity is significant because Cobalt Strike is a popular tool for adversaries to conduct post-exploitation tasks, and identifying its named pipes can reveal potential malicious activity. If confirmed malicious, this could indicate an active Cobalt Strike beacon, leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further lateral movement within the network.

This analytic detects suspicious data transfer activities involving the use of the `split` syscall with the `-b` option, which specifies the size of each output file. This technique can be used by attackers to evade detection by breaking large files into smaller parts, bypassing size-based security controls, and facilitating covert exfiltration of sensitive data. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized use of the `split` syscall with a specified block size, this analytic helps identify potential data exfiltration attempts.

This analytic identifies the bulk creation of ransomware notes (e.g., .txt, .html, .hta files) on an infected machine. It leverages Sysmon EventCode 11 to detect multiple instances of these file types being created within a short time frame (10 seconds). A detection is triggered if 15 or more unique readme paths are observed. This activity is a strong indicator of an active ransomware attack, where the attacker is notifying the victim of the encryption. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to widespread data encryption, rendering critical files inaccessible and potentially causing significant operational disruption.

The following analytic detects suspicious attempts to find credentials stored in password stores, indicating a potential attacker's effort to access sensitive login information. Password stores are critical repositories that contain valuable credentials, and unauthorized access to them can lead to significant security breaches. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized activities related to password store access, this analytic helps identify potential credential theft attempts, allowing security teams to respond promptly and prevent unauthorized access to critical systems and data.

The analytic detects attempts to exploit the Fortinet FortiNAC CVE-2022-39952 vulnerability. It identifies HTTP POST requests to the URI configWizard/keyUpload.jsp with a payload.zip file. This activity indicates an attempt to exploit a known vulnerability, potentially leading to remote code execution. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain control over the affected system, schedule malicious tasks, and establish persistent access via a remote command and control (C2) server.

The following analytic identifies the execution of RAR utilities to archive files on a system. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names, GUIDs, and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as threat actors, including red-teamers and malware like DarkGate, use RAR archiving to compress and exfiltrate collected data from compromised hosts. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to the unauthorized transfer of sensitive information to command and control servers, posing a severe risk to data confidentiality and integrity.

Detects Acreed infostealer's cryptocurrency clipper activity. This rule identifies when a host first communicates with a known Acreed C2 domain (`trustdomainnet.live`) to fetch malicious wallet addresses, and then communicates with a QR code generation API (`api.zile42o.dev`) used to replace legitimate QR codes with malicious ones.
