This rule detects the execution of rundll32.exe with command-line arguments indicative of Cobalt Strike's StartW function being used to load DLLs. Specifically, it looks for 'rundll32.exe' or 'rundll32 ' in the command line, along with a '.dll' file and either ' StartW' or ',StartW' as the ending argument. This behavior is commonly associated with Cobalt Strike for defense evasion and execution of malicious payloads.

Detects the usage of 'pypykatz' to obtain stored credentials. Adversaries may attempt to extract credential material from the Security Account Manager (SAM) database through Windows registry where the SAM database is stored. The rule specifically looks for the execution of 'pypykatz.exe' or 'python.exe' with command-line arguments indicating 'live' and 'registry' access, which are common parameters for dumping credentials from the live registry hive.

Detects the execution of specific commands and DLLs associated with the RedMimicry Winnti playbook, an automated breach emulation utility. The rule looks for 'rundll32.exe' or 'cmd.exe' processes executing with command-line arguments containing 'gthread-3.6.dll', '\Windows\Temp\tmp.bat', or 'sigcmm-2.4.dll'. This indicates the use of specific tools and techniques employed by the Winnti threat group, as emulated by RedMimicry.
