Detects network connections initiated by the Microsoft Equation Editor process (eqnedt32.exe). This activity is highly suspicious as eqnedt32.exe is not expected to make outbound network connections and is often exploited by adversaries to achieve code execution and establish C2 communications.

Detects a script interpreter (Wscript/Cscript) initiating a local network connection to download or execute a script hosted on a shared folder. This behavior can be indicative of an adversary attempting to transfer tools or execute scripts from internal network shares.

This rule detects outbound network connections initiated by the Windows Script Host interpreters, wscript.exe or cscript.exe, to non-local IP addresses. This behavior is often indicative of adversaries using scripts to download additional malicious payloads or establish command and control. The rule filters out connections to common private and loopback IP ranges to reduce false positives.

Detects obfuscated use of stdin to execute PowerShell commands, often associated with techniques like Invoke-Obfuscation. The rule specifically looks for patterns in PowerShell module logs (Event ID 4103) where 'cmd' is used with '/c' or '/r' to launch PowerShell, incorporating input from stdin (e.g., using ${input} or noexit).

Detects obfuscated PowerShell code being executed via standard input (stdin) within PowerShell module logs. This technique is often used by adversaries to evade detection by security products that monitor for suspicious commands or scripts.

Detects obfuscated PowerShell execution attempts that leverage rundll32.exe and shell32.dll. The rule looks for specific keywords in the PowerShell module payload, such as '&&', 'rundll32', 'shell32.dll', 'shellexec_rundll', combined with common PowerShell execution terms like 'value', 'invoke', 'comspec', or 'iex'. This combination suggests an attempt to bypass detection by using rundll32.exe to launch obfuscated PowerShell commands.

Detects highly obfuscated PowerShell commands using the VAR++ LAUNCHER technique, often associated with Invoke-Obfuscation. This method involves using `&&set` and specific character patterns like `(\{\d\}){2,}\"` combined with `-f` and `cmd /c` to evade detection.

Detects the use of specific strings or NULL bits within PowerShell scripts that are commonly employed to bypass Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) functionalities. This technique aims to prevent security products from inspecting malicious script content.

This rule detects potential data exfiltration attempts using PowerShell by identifying scripts that manipulate binary data into audio file formats, specifically WAV. It looks for PowerShell script block text containing mathematical operations, file I/O mode definitions, and the use of BinaryWriter, combined with specific byte sequences indicative of a WAV file header. This technique can be used to encode arbitrary data into an audio file for covert exfiltration.
