Detects a threat actor creating a file named `wbemcomn.dll` in the `C:\Windows\System32\wbem\` directory over the network for a WMI DLL Hijack scenario. This is identified by monitoring Windows Security Event ID 5145 for file creations ending with `\wbem\wbemcomn.dll` and filtering out legitimate system accounts (those ending with '$').

This rule specifically looks for Event ID 7045 from the Service Control Manager, indicating a service installation, and then filters for service paths containing '\NetSupport Manager\client32.exe' or a service name of 'Client32'. This activity can be indicative of legitimate remote administration tool deployment or malicious use for persistence.

This rule detects the deletion of prefetch files, which are used by Windows to speed up application launch times. Adversaries may delete these files to remove forensic evidence of their activities, making it harder to determine what applications were executed on a compromised system. The rule specifically looks for files ending with '.pf' within the ':\Windows\Prefetch\' directory. A filter is applied to exclude deletions performed by 'svchost.exe' with 'AUTHORI' or 'AUTORI' in the user field, as these are often legitimate system activities.

Detects the creation of the 'ntds.dit' file, which contains Active Directory database information, by processes that are not typically associated with this activity. This rule specifically looks for 'ntds.dit' creation when the parent process is an uncommon executable (e.g., cscript.exe, powershell.exe, web server processes) or originates from suspicious directories (e.g., AppData, Temp, Public). This activity often indicates an attempt to dump Active Directory credentials.

This rule detects the creation of Microsoft Office macro-enabled files (docm, dotm, xlsm, xltm, potm, pptm) when the creating process or its parent process is a suspicious utility often abused by adversaries. The suspicious utilities include cscript.exe, mshta.exe, regsvr32.exe, rundll32.exe, and wscript.exe. This behavior is indicative of potential initial access or execution techniques where malicious macros are delivered or generated.
