Detects the creation of files with specific name patterns that are commonly used by tools like Metasploit and Impacket's secretsdump.py to export and stage the NTDS.DIT database for exfiltration. These patterns include '.ntds.cleartext' and 'All.cab', which are indicative of attempts to dump Active Directory credentials.

Detects instances where the svchost.exe process, specifically hosting the RDP terminal services, initiates outbound network connections to target systems on standard HTTP (TCP port 80) or HTTPS (TCP port 443) ports. This behavior is indicative of RDP tunneling, where RDP traffic is encapsulated within web protocols to bypass network restrictions or evade detection.

This rule detects attempts to delete Volume Shadow Copies using PowerShell and WMI. Adversaries often delete shadow copies to prevent system recovery and hinder forensic analysis, especially in ransomware attacks. The rule specifically looks for PowerShell commands that interact with 'Win32_ShadowCopy' via 'Get-WmiObject' and then perform a 'Delete()' operation or use 'Remove-WmiObject'.

Detects the execution of the KrbRelay tool, a utility used for Kerberos relaying attacks. The rule identifies the tool by its executable name ('KrbRelay.exe') or its original filename, and by specific command-line arguments commonly used by KrbRelay for Kerberos relaying, including parameters related to Service Principal Names (SPN), Class IDs (CLSID), and Resource-Based Constrained Delegation (RBCD) or shadow credentials.

Detects the use of PowerShell cmdlets 'Add-MpPreference' or 'Set-MpPreference' in conjunction with parameters like '-ExclusionPath', '-ExclusionExtension', '-ExclusionProcess', or '-ExclusionIpAddress' to configure exclusions for Microsoft Defender Antivirus. This activity is often associated with defense evasion tactics used by adversaries to prevent security software from detecting their malicious activities.
