This rule detects the creation of PowerShell script files with specific filenames or suffixes that have been observed in campaigns attributed to the FIN7 threat group. Specifically, it looks for files ending with '_64refl.ps1' or named 'host_ip.ps1'. These patterns are indicative of PowerShell scripts used by FIN7 for various malicious activities, including execution and potentially reflective loading.

Detects logon events (Event ID 4672 and 4964) involving accounts with special privileges or belonging to special groups, such as administrators. The rule filters out the local system account (S-1-5-18) and allows for a configurable filter for valid internal accounts to reduce false positives.

Detects the loading of `dbghelp.dll` or `dbgcore.dll` by processes that are typically not expected to load these DLLs. These DLLs export functions like `MiniDumpWriteDump` which can be used to dump process memory, including sensitive information like credentials from processes such as LSASS. This behavior is often observed in attacker tradecraft, such as with the SilentTrinity C2 Framework, or by legitimate debugging tools like ProcessHacker. The rule includes filters for common legitimate Windows processes and services that might load these DLLs to reduce false positives. Investigation of the command line and image location of the process loading the DLL is recommended.

Detects a PowerShell process attempting to access the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process memory. This activity is a strong indicator of potential credential dumping attempts, where an attacker tries to extract sensitive authentication material (like passwords or hashes) from memory.

This rule detects the execution of PowerShell scripts that directly call a wide range of Windows API (WinAPI) functions. Adversaries often leverage direct WinAPI calls from PowerShell to bypass typical detection mechanisms that focus on standard PowerShell cmdlets or .NET methods. The rule specifically looks for a comprehensive list of sensitive WinAPI functions within the script block text, which can indicate various malicious activities such as process injection, privilege escalation, credential access, and memory manipulation. This rule is primarily intended for threat hunting to identify unusual and potentially malicious PowerShell script behavior.

This rule detects the execution of the 'tasklist' command, which adversaries may use to gather information about running processes on a system. This information can help them understand the system's environment and identify potential targets or further actions.

This rule detects various suspicious exceptions within Django web applications. These exceptions, such as 'SuspiciousOperation' and its subclasses (e.g., 'DisallowedHost', 'InvalidSessionKey', 'RequestDataTooBig'), as well as 'PermissionDenied', often indicate attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, bypass security controls, or engage in other malicious activities against the web application. Monitoring these exceptions can help identify potential attacks like web parameter tampering, session hijacking attempts, or unauthorized access attempts.

Detects potential XML External Entity (XXE) exploitation attempts in JVM-based applications by looking for specific XML parsing error keywords in application error logs. These errors, such as 'SAXParseException' and 'DOMException', can indicate that an attacker is trying to manipulate XML input to access local files, perform server-side request forgery (SSRF), or execute other malicious actions. The rule is designed to identify issues where an application expects to work with XML and the parser might not be initialized safely.

This rule identifies when an Azure DNS zone is either modified or deleted. This activity is detected by monitoring Azure Activity Logs for operations starting with 'MICROSOFT.NETWORK/DNSZONES' and ending with '/WRITE' (for modifications) or '/DELETE' (for deletions). Such changes can indicate malicious activity aimed at redirecting traffic or disrupting services.
