This rule detects the Hybrid Connection Manager service running on a Windows endpoint. It specifically looks for Event IDs 40300, 40301, or 40302 in conjunction with keywords like 'HybridConnection', 'sb://', 'servicebus.windows.net', or 'HybridConnectionManage'. This service is used to connect on-premises resources to Azure services, and its activity could indicate legitimate cloud integration or potentially malicious use for persistence or data exfiltration.

This rule detects when a file is restored from quarantine by Microsoft Defender Antivirus. This action is logged with Event ID 1009 in the Microsoft-Windows-Windows Defender/Operational event log. While legitimate administrators might restore files, this event can also indicate an adversary attempting to reintroduce malicious files that were previously quarantined, potentially as part of a defense evasion strategy.

This rule detects instances where the 'winlogon.exe' process initiates outbound network connections to public IP addresses. Winlogon.exe is a critical Windows component responsible for user logon/logoff and the secure attention sequence. Typically, winlogon.exe should not be making outbound network connections to public IPs. Such activity could indicate compromise, potentially by malware like BlackLotus, which has been observed to leverage winlogon.exe for malicious purposes, including command and control or data exfiltration.

This rule detects specific code artifacts commonly found in offensive PowerShell payloads such as Cobalt Strike Beacon, PoshC2, Powerview, Letmein, Empire, and PowerSploit. These artifacts often remain unchanged due to poor operational security practices by attackers. The rule looks for specific strings like '$DoIt', 'harmj0y', 'mattifestation', '_RastaMouse', 'tifkin_', and '0xdeadbeef' within PowerShell script payloads.

This rule detects suspicious PowerShell invocations by looking for specific command parameters that indicate obfuscation, hidden execution, or non-interactive sessions. Specifically, it flags the use of encoded commands (`-enc`, `-EncodedCommand`, `-ec`), hidden window styles (`-w hidden`, `-window hidden`, `-windowstyle hidden`, `-w 1`), and non-interactive flags (`-noni`, `-noninteractive`). These parameters are commonly used by adversaries to conceal their activities and bypass detection.

This rule detects the execution of Mimikatz by identifying specific command-line arguments and keywords commonly associated with its various modules and functions. It looks for terms like 'DumpCreds', 'mimikatz', and module-specific keywords such as '::aadcookie', '::detours', 'sekurlsa::', 'kerberos::', and 'lsadump::'. The rule aims to identify attempts to dump credentials or perform other malicious actions using the Mimikatz tool.
