Detects Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome) being launched with specific command-line arguments that attempt to hide the browser window (headless mode or positioning it off-screen).
This technique was observed in the "Operation MacroMaze" campaign, attributed to APT28, where it was used to silently execute scripts and exfiltrate data using legitimate services like webhook.site.

Detects access to VMware virtual disk files (.vmdk). This technique was
observed being used by the Muddled Libra (Scattered Spider) threat group,
where they would power down Domain Controllers, mount their disks to a rogue
VM, and steal the NTDS.dit and SYSTEM hives for offline credential extraction.
This method bypasses security monitoring that would typically occur on the
Domain Controller itself.

Detects attempts to deliver a Base64-encoded Java class to an Ivanti EPMM
server. This is characteristic of the "Sleeper Shell" campaign where attackers
plant a dormant in-memory backdoor. The rule looks for the Base64 string
'yv66vg', which corresponds to the 'CAFEBABE' Java magic bytes, in requests
targeting the known vulnerable path.
