This rule detects potentially malicious memory manipulation and thread execution activity originating from the ERAAgent.exe process. It specifically identifies when ERAAgent.exe calls VirtualProtect or VirtualAlloc to set memory as PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, followed shortly by a CreateThread or CreateRemoteThread operation. This behavior is indicative of process injection or reflective code loading, where an executable image is manually mapped into memory and executed, bypassing traditional file-based detection.
Detects ERAAgent.exe (ESET Remote Administrator Agent) interacting with suspicious named pipes (e.g., mojo, spoolss) and attempts to extract credentials from command line parameters, indicating potential credential dumping or lateral movement techniques using the agent process.
Detects periodic execution cycles of ERAAgent.exe that involve memory protection changes, characteristic of the SLEEPWALKER malware's XOR-decrypt-execute-reencrypt loop scheduled by a cron-like mechanism.
Detects anomalous reuse of an authenticated Microsoft 365 session cookie shortly after a successful MFA-satisfied sign-in. The detection identifies scenarios where the subsequent access originates from a different IP address, device, or user agent without an intervening MFA challenge, which is a pattern indicative of session hijacking techniques like Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) or session token replay.
Detects anomalous authentication behavior indicative of an Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing kit. The rule identifies multiple password submission attempts (failures) followed by a successful authentication within a short period, consistent with an attacker testing multiple harvested credentials against an active session.
This rule monitors the Windows Application event log for critical Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) events. It detects server crashes, access violations, stack overflows, and high-severity (20+) errors. These events often indicate severe database corruption, underlying system instability, or potential exploitation attempts targeting the database engine.
Detects instances where the SQL Server process (sqlservr.exe) initiates a child process that is a known command-line tool, script interpreter, or utility often used in living-off-the-land attacks, or when a child process is spawned from suspicious directory paths such as AppData, Temp, or Windows\Temp.
Detects high-volume internal email campaigns that exhibit characteristics of phishing, specifically utilizing sender display name impersonation of executive or IT support roles, urgent subject lines, and URLs identified as malicious by threat intelligence. The rule tracks common attributes like SPF/DKIM/DMARC failures and rapid delivery to multiple recipients.
This rule monitors for email events where the email is flagged for suspicious properties (SPF/DKIM/DMARC failure, threat categorization) and includes potentially malicious attachments or URLs. It then correlates these suspicious emails with subsequent process execution events on the recipient's endpoint within a 30-minute window, identifying a potential successful execution of a phishing payload.
Detects instances where 'TieringEngineService.exe' or 'MsMpEng.exe' (Windows Defender) create, modify, or rename executable, library, or system files within the 'C:\Windows\System32\' directory. This behavior is highly irregular as these processes should not be authoring binaries in protected system folders, and may indicate process masquerading, unauthorized persistence, or defense evasion.
