This rule detects the use of various operating system utilities to discover local accounts, system owners, or users. It specifically looks for the execution of `whoami.exe`, `quser.exe`, `qwinsta.exe`, `wmic.exe` with 'useraccount' and 'get' in the command line, `cmdkey.exe` with the '/l' flag, `cmd.exe` executing 'dir \Users\', and `net.exe` or `net1.exe` with 'user' in the command line, while filtering out common legitimate uses of `net` and `cmd dir` commands.

This rule detects suspicious failed logon attempts by monitoring specific uncommon error codes. These error codes indicate issues such as logons to disabled accounts, attempts outside authorized hours, from unauthorized workstations, or due to trust relationship failures or insufficient logon rights. Such failures can suggest an adversary attempting to bypass security controls or test account validity and permissions.

Detects when a Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, WordView) initiates an outbound network connection to an IP address that is not a private IP range or a known Microsoft/Akamai IP range. This rule aims to identify suspicious network activity from Office applications, potentially indicative of malware or exploitation, similar to behavior seen in CVE-2021-42292. Initial baselining and tuning are required to adapt to specific organizational environments.

Detects the creation of nsswitch.conf files in non-standard directories, which may indicate exploitation of CVE-2025-32463. This vulnerability requires an attacker to create a nsswitch.conf in a directory that will be used during sudo chroot operations. When sudo executes, it loads malicious shared libraries from user-controlled locations within the chroot environment, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation.

Detects the execution of suspicious commands often used in Command and Control (C2) activities, as identified in Florian Roth's 'Best Practice Auditd Configuration'. These commands include `wget`, `curl`, `base64`, `nc`, `netcat`, `ncat`, `ssh`, `socat`, `wireshark`, `rawshark`, `rdesktop`, and `nmap`. These tools can be leveraged for various adversarial techniques such as data transfer, remote access, network discovery, and data encoding.

Detects PowerShell processes executing commands that utilize `Net.WebClient` to download content, indicated by the presence of `new-object`, `net.webclient).`, and `download` keywords in the command line, along with either `string(` or `file(`. This pattern is commonly used by adversaries for ingress tool transfer or to fetch additional malicious payloads.

This rule detects the use of various command-line tools and PowerShell cmdlets that can initiate web requests. These include native Windows PowerShell cmdlets like 'Invoke-RestMethod', 'Invoke-WebRequest', 'Resume-BitsTransfer', 'Start-BitsTransfer', and their aliases ('irm', 'iwr'), as well as common command-line utilities like 'curl' and 'wget', and .NET framework calls such as '[System.Net.WebRequest]::create' and 'WinHttp.WinHttpRequest'. Adversaries often use these methods to download additional tools, malware, or exfiltrate data from a compromised system.
