Detects "GoogleUpdate.exe" spawning a new instance of itself in an uncommon location, a technique used by the Goofy Guineapig backdoor to evade detection. The rule specifically looks for instances where both the parent and child process images are named 'GoogleUpdate.exe', but the child process is not located in standard Google installation or update paths.

This rule detects the creation of a new Windows service (EventID 7045 from 'Service Control Manager') where the service's ImagePath contains specific PowerShell commands indicative of Invoke-Obfuscation's COMPRESS obfuscation technique. Specifically, it looks for the presence of 'new-object', 'text.encoding]::ascii', 'readtoend', and either ':system.io.compression.deflatestream' or 'system.io.streamreader' within the ImagePath. This combination suggests an attempt to decompress and execute obfuscated PowerShell code as part of a service.

Detects the creation of a new service where the ImagePath contains 'rundll32' and 'shell32.dll' along with obfuscation indicators like '&&', 'value', 'invoke', 'comspec', or 'iex'. This pattern is often used by adversaries to execute obfuscated PowerShell commands via rundll32, specifically leveraging 'shellexec_rundll'.

Detects the creation of memory dump files (.dmp, .hdmp) by common scripting or shell applications such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, cscript.exe, mshta.exe, pwsh.exe, or wscript.exe. Memory dumps can contain sensitive information like credentials, and their creation by these processes can be indicative of malicious activity, especially if not tied to a legitimate crash.

This rule detects the creation of a dump file by the password dumper tool QuarksPwDump. Specifically, it looks for files created in the 'AppData\Local\Temp\' directory with names starting with 'SAM-' and ending with '.dmp'. This pattern indicates that QuarksPwDump is attempting to dump the Security Account Manager (SAM) database, which contains local user credentials.

This rule detects the creation of temporary files in a specific path within the AppData\Local\Temp directory. The path contains a unique hash-like string, which is associated with the PCRE.NET package. This activity could indicate the execution or unpacking of applications that utilize the PCRE.NET library, potentially for malicious purposes such as code execution or payload delivery.

This rule detects suspicious file creation activity involving 'colorcpl.exe'. Specifically, it looks for instances where 'colorcpl.exe' is the image creating files in the 'c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\' directory, excluding common color profile file extensions like '.icm', '.gmmp', '.cdmp', and '.camp'. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to hide malicious files within a legitimate system directory by abusing the color management control panel utility.
