Detects pythonw.exe or python.exe process execution running under the WDAGUtilityAccount user context, which Starland RAT checks against its hardcoded sandbox-account blacklist before continuing execution. Observing this account name paired with the Python runtime used by the RAT's loader chain is a strong indicator of the malware executing (or attempting to execute) inside a sandboxed analysis environment.
Detects potential screenshot activity by monitoring the creation and subsequent deletion of .png image files by the pythonw.exe process, a pattern observed in Starland RAT post-compromise activity.
Detects instances where Chrome or Microsoft Edge are launched in headless mode with remote debugging enabled. This configuration exposes the browser's debugging interface, typically on port 9222, which can be leveraged by attackers for browser exploitation, data exfiltration, or persistence within the browser context.
Detects Python processes (python.exe or pythonw.exe) executed with a custom '--elevated' argument, which is indicative of Starland RAT attempting to perform UAC bypass or elevation.
Detects instances where the WLDR Agent attempts to execute code via 'Start-ModuleJob' and subsequently hits an error condition, forcing a fallback to native PowerShell 'Start-Job' cmdlets. This pattern of falling back from a specialized execution environment to standard, potentially less-monitored, background jobs can indicate an attempt to bypass existing runspace restrictions or execution policies.
Detects PowerShell execution initiating WMI queries to gather information about antivirus products, network adapter configurations, or User Account Control (UAC) policy settings. This behavior is indicative of system and defensive environment reconnaissance.
Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender preferences by adding a folder exclusion path. Adversaries often use this technique to prevent security software from scanning specific directories where malicious tools or payloads are stored.
This rule detects potentially malicious database manipulation by monitoring process execution command lines for commands that drop critical databases or toggle foreign key checks. It flags instances where multiple drop database commands occur or foreign key constraint toggling is detected, which is often indicative of automated data destruction or ransomware activity within database environments.
This rule monitors process command lines and file operations for specific strings associated with ransomware, including known ransom note naming conventions ('readme_ransom'), a specific Bitcoin wallet address, a contact email, and SQL commands commonly used to drop database tables for ransom purposes.
Detects unauthorized access attempts to session files and account credentials stored locally by Discord, Telegram, and Steam applications, a behavior consistent with the CastleStealer malware.
