This rule detects suspicious execution of PowerShell or Command Prompt (cmd.exe) processes where the parent process is MsiExec.exe and the command line contains '-Embedding'. This behavior is often abused by adversaries to proxy the execution of malicious payloads, leveraging msiexec.exe as a trusted binary to bypass application controls.

Detects suspicious reconnaissance command line activity on Windows systems using Net.EXE. This rule identifies attempts to enumerate local or domain groups and accounts, specifically looking for commands that list members of sensitive groups like 'domain admins' or 'enterprise admins', or general account information. It filters out commands that are used to add users or groups to reduce false positives. The rule also includes checks for common administrative group names in multiple languages.

This rule detects the execution of 'odbcconf.exe' with the 'REGSVR' flag to register a new DLL. This technique is often abused by attackers to install and run malicious DLLs, similar to how 'regsvr32.exe' is used. The detection specifically looks for the 'odbcconf.exe' image and command-line arguments containing both 'REGSVR ' and '.dll'.
