This rule detects VBScript execution (via wscript.exe or cscript.exe) that attempts to load WinHTTP objects (WinHttpRequest.5.1, MSXML2.XMLHTTP) or uses generic object creation functions (CreateObject, GetObject). This behavior is often associated with VBScripts establishing command and control (C2) communication or performing data exfiltration.
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events indicative of ransomware activity, specifically the Prinz Eugen ransomware. It looks for the execution of common file compression utilities (7z.exe, rar.exe, WinRAR.exe, winzip.exe) followed by the execution of known ransomware encryption executables (servertool.exe, encrypt.exe) on the same device within a 30-minute window. This pattern suggests that an attacker is compressing files before encrypting them, a common tactic to reduce the size of data for faster encryption or exfiltration.
This rule detects the execution of VBScript files (.vbs or .vbe) by wscript.exe or cscript.exe where the filename contains keywords commonly associated with phishing lures (e.g., 'Invoice', 'Bill', 'Statement', 'Report', 'Debit', 'Credit', 'Notice', 'Alert', 'Urgent', 'Payment'). The rule triggers if three or more such executions are observed within a one-hour window on a single device, indicating potential malicious activity often associated with phishing campaigns.
Detects an unusually high frequency of storage blob and container listing operations within a short time window. This behavior often indicates an attempt to enumerate the contents of Azure Blob Storage, which may be a precursor to data discovery or exfiltration.
This rule detects the use of system utilities (wevtutil.exe, auditpol.exe, PowerShell) to interact with, query, or check status of security event logs and auditing configurations. While these tools are standard for administration, their usage by non-system accounts can indicate an adversary attempting to understand, monitor, or manipulate system audit policies and event log configurations as part of a reconnaissance or defense evasion strategy.
This rule detects the use of the 'powercfg.exe' utility by non-system accounts to modify power settings, such as disabling hibernation, modifying standby/sleep timeouts, or changing monitor/disk timeout configurations. Such actions can be indicative of attempts to maintain system availability, prevent the system from entering a low-power state that might terminate malicious processes, or ensure persistent execution of unauthorized activities.
This rule detects the successful execution of the 'Run Command' action on Azure virtual machines outside of defined business hours (8 AM to 6 PM). Run Command allows the execution of arbitrary scripts on a VM, which can be leveraged for administrative tasks but also by attackers for post-exploitation activities, persistence, or lateral movement. Monitoring these operations during off-hours may indicate unauthorized use or anomalous administrative activity.
Detects the use of VMware ESXi command-line management tools (esxcli, esxcfg) or VMware PowerCLI cmdlets (e.g., Connect-VIServer, Invoke-VMScript) from endpoints that are not identified as servers. This behavior often indicates an attacker attempting to manage or interact with a virtualized environment from a compromised workstation.
This rule detects common security product executables (MsMpEng.exe, SenseNdr.exe, csfalconservice.exe, CylanceSvc.exe) that are running from file paths inconsistent with their legitimate installation directories. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to masquerade as trusted security software to evade detection or achieve persistence.
Detects the modification of Azure Storage account management policies where the 'daysAfterModificationGreaterThan' condition is set to 7 days or less, specifically including a 'delete' action. This could indicate an attempt by an adversary to shorten the lifecycle of data for rapid, automated, and potentially malicious data destruction within Azure Blob Storage.
