This rule detects potential ransomware activity by correlating the execution of 'gpscript.exe', which is used to process Group Policy Object (GPO) logon scripts, with subsequent mass file encryption events involving files with the '.SINOBI' extension on the same host within a one-hour window. The rule specifically flags instances where at least five files are encrypted, indicating a high likelihood of a domain-wide ransomware deployment delivered via malicious GPO modification.

This rule detects persistence mechanisms associated with the CornFlake RAT by identifying three specific activities: the creation of Windows Registry Run or RunOnce keys referencing 'svchost32', the creation of scheduled tasks using 'schtasks.exe' that involve 'svchost32', and a watchdog process pattern where a 'svchost32' process is launched by a parent process that is also identified as 'svchost32'.

Detects a non-root local process gaining a root shell or executing a SUID-root binary shortly after AF_RXRPC (rxrpc) network socket activity on the same device, consistent with exploitation of the DirtyDecrypt RxGK decrypt-before-authentication flaw to corrupt page-cache pages of SUID-root binaries and gain root.
