Detects a network connection initiated by the Add-In deployment cache updating utility "AddInutil.exe". This could indicate a potential command and control communication as this tool doesn't usually initiate network activity.

This rule detects when the `IMEWDBLD.exe` process initiates a network connection. This behavior is suspicious because `IMEWDBLD.exe` is a legitimate Microsoft Windows component (Input Method Editor Word Dictionary Builder) that is not typically expected to make outbound network connections. Adversaries may abuse this utility as a Living Off The Land Binary (LOLBIN) to download additional payloads or exfiltrate data, leveraging its trusted status to evade detection. The detection focuses on the initiation of any network connection by this specific executable.

Detects the creation of a named pipe with the default name '\csexecsvc', which is commonly used by CSExec for remote command execution. This activity is indicative of potential lateral movement or execution of unauthorized code.

This rule detects attempts to enumerate Active Directory groups and user properties using specific PowerShell cmdlets. It looks for the use of 'get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership' to identify group memberships and 'get-aduser' with specific parameters ('-f', '-pr', 'DoesNotRequirePreAuth') which can be used to discover user attributes relevant for privilege escalation or further reconnaissance. This activity is often performed by adversaries to map out the domain environment and identify accounts with elevated privileges.

Detects the initiation of remote PowerShell sessions by identifying specific keywords in the `ContextInfo` field of PowerShell module logs. It looks for the presence of ' = ServerRemoteHost ' and 'wsmprovhost.exe', which are indicative of a remote PowerShell connection. A filter is applied to exclude legitimate PowerShell archive module activity.

Detects code fragments commonly found in small and obfuscated PowerShell scripts designed to bypass Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI). The rule specifically looks for the combination of '[Ref].Assembly.GetType', 'SetValue($null,$true)', and 'NonPublic,Static' within PowerShell script block text, which are indicative of reflection-based AMSI bypass techniques.

This rule detects attempts to clear PowerShell command history, which adversaries might do to remove traces of their activities. It looks for specific PowerShell commands and keywords related to deleting history files or configuring PowerShell to not save history. This includes commands like 'del', 'Remove-Item', 'rm' in conjunction with the PowerShell history path, or setting 'Set-PSReadlineOption -HistorySaveStyle SaveNothing'.

This rule detects attempts to dump credentials from the Windows Credential Manager using PowerShell. It specifically looks for the use of known PowerShell functions or code patterns associated with credential dumping tools or techniques. This includes functions like 'Get-PasswordVaultCredentials' and 'Get-CredManCreds', as well as the instantiation of .NET objects related to 'Windows.Security.Credentials.PasswordVault' or specific CSharpCodeProvider patterns often used in reflective loading or dynamic compilation for credential access.

Detects the usage of `[Reflection.Assembly]::load` functions within PowerShell script block logs. This method allows for dynamically loading assemblies into memory, which can be used by adversaries to execute malicious code without writing it to disk, thus evading traditional file-based detections.

This rule detects attempts to enumerate credentials from the Windows Credential Manager using PowerShell. It specifically looks for PowerShell script block text containing both 'vaultcmd' and '/listcreds:', combined with keywords like 'Windows Credentials' or 'Web Credentials'. This activity is indicative of an adversary trying to obtain stored user credentials.
