Detects when an attacker tries to change User Account Control (UAC) elevation request destination via the "PromptOnSecureDesktop" value. The "PromptOnSecureDesktop" setting specifically determines whether UAC prompts are displayed on the secure desktop. The secure desktop is a separate desktop environment that's isolated from other processes running on the system. It's designed to prevent malicious software from intercepting or tampering with UAC prompts. When "PromptOnSecureDesktop" is set to 0, UAC prompts are displayed on the user's current desktop instead of the secure desktop. This reduces the level of security because it potentially exposes the prompts to manipulation by malicious software.

Detects the enabling of the Windows Recall feature by deleting the "DisableAIDataAnalysis" registry value. Adversaries may enable Windows Recall as part of post-exploitation discovery and collection activities. This rule assumes that Recall is already explicitly disabled on the host and is subsequently enabled by an adversary.

Detects when a user attaches a Lambda layer to an existing AWS Lambda function. A malicious Lambda layer could execute arbitrary code in the context of the function's IAM role, potentially granting an adversary access to resources the function has access to. This activity could indicate privilege escalation or unauthorized modification of serverless functions.

This rule detects when a Python process initiates an outbound network connection. While this activity can be legitimate for tasks like package installation or updates, it can also be indicative of malicious behavior, such as a Python-based script establishing communication with a command and control (C2) server or performing network reconnaissance. The rule includes filters to reduce false positives from common activities like Anaconda updates, Jupyter Notebook local communication, and 'pip install' commands.

This rule detects suspicious parent processes for a set of well-known Windows system processes. It specifically looks for instances where `svchost.exe`, `taskhost.exe`, `lsm.exe`, `lsass.exe`, `services.exe`, `lsaiso.exe`, `csrss.exe`, `wininit.exe`, or `winlogon.exe` are spawned by a parent process that is not typically expected. The rule filters out legitimate parent processes such as those from security products (e.g., `SavService.exe`, `MsMpEng.exe`), common system directories (`System32`, `SysWOW64`), and cases where the parent process is null or empty.
