This rule detects the creation of child processes by SysAidServer, specifically when the parent process is either 'java.exe' or 'javaw.exe' and its command line contains 'SysAidServer'. This activity has been observed in intrusions attributed to the MERCURY (MuddyWater) threat actor, suggesting potential exploitation or unauthorized execution within the SysAid environment.

Detects the execution of 'odbcconf.exe' where the DLL being registered is located in a potentially suspicious directory. Adversaries may abuse odbcconf.exe to proxy execution of malicious payloads, often placing the DLL in common temporary or public user directories to evade detection or bypass application control.

Detects the execution of the PDQ Deploy Console, which is a remote administration tool. This rule identifies the creation of processes associated with the PDQ Deploy Console based on its description, product name, company, or original file name. This tool can be used for legitimate software deployment but can also be leveraged by adversaries for execution and lateral movement.
