This rule detects potential password spraying activity by monitoring for a single source IP address that targets multiple distinct user accounts with failed authentication attempts. It specifically identifies 'low-and-slow' patterns that may attempt to evade standard lockout thresholds, and flags cases where legacy authentication protocols are utilized, a technique commonly employed to bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Detects network activity associated with DPRK-affiliated threat actors, specifically connections to known hardcoded C2 IP addresses and DNS queries for malicious o-r.kr subdomains utilized for command and control.
Detects web server processes (e.g., IIS w3wp.exe, Apache, Nginx, PHP-FPM) spawning suspicious child processes such as command shells (cmd, powershell, bash, sh), network utilities (curl, wget), or interpreters (python, perl). This behavior is strongly indicative of exploitation of a public-facing web application and the subsequent execution of a webshell or post-exploitation command activity.
Detects the creation or modification of Windows service registry keys where the ImagePath points to a binary with a non-standard file extension (e.g., .s, .c, .l). This behavior is associated with the NeedyMantis malware family, which utilizes non-standard naming for persistence mechanisms to evade basic detection.
This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious modifications to Windows Defender exclusion registry keys. It monitors for registry key/value creation or set operations within Defender's exclusion paths for files or extensions. The rule evaluates the process responsible for the modification (e.g., expecting MsMpEng.exe for native keys or specific svchost.exe/gpsvc parameters for GPO keys) and flags modifications made by unauthorized processes or those involving suspicious, broad, or high-risk paths like C:\, C:\Temp, or User Public folders.
This rule monitors network device logs for patterns indicative of reconnaissance or vulnerability scanning against management and VPN interfaces of common firewall and network appliances (FortiGate, Meraki, WatchGuard, Sophos). It flags sources that either request multiple sensitive paths related to system status and configuration or employ known scanning tools (Nmap, masscan, Nuclei, zgrab, curl) in the user-agent string.
Detects potential misuse of SSH credentials by identifying successful SSH logins from source IP addresses that have not been observed in the previous 14 days, or successful SSH logins occurring within one hour of an authorized_keys file modification on the same host. This combination of behaviors is indicative of an adversary establishing or using persistence via SSH key manipulation.
Detects the use of standard Linux command-line utilities (e.g., cat, curl, vi) to read or reference sensitive cloud credential files or Kubernetes service account tokens. This behavior is a common indicator of credential theft or discovery activities following initial access to a Linux host.
This rule monitors for Linux web-server service accounts (such as www-data or nginx) attempting to elevate privileges by modifying file permissions to set SUID/SGID bits or by executing common system binaries with shell-escape patterns commonly documented in GTFOBins for privilege escalation.
This rule performs indicator-based detection for the SectopRAT malware. It monitors network activity for connections to known command-and-control (C2) IP addresses and backup domains, as well as file and process creation events matching known malicious SHA256 hashes associated with the malware.
