Phoenix Studio

Convert indexed Sigma rules into analyst-ready detections.

This studio is built around Phoenix's own rule corpus, not a blank editor. Search by title or rule id, choose a live sigma-cli backend, then reveal pipelines only when you actually need them.

title: WDAC Policy File Creation In CodeIntegrity Folder
id: 121b25f7-b9d6-4b37-afa0-cba317ec52f3
status: experimental
description: |
    Attackers can craft a custom Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policy that blocks Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) components while allowing their own malicious code. The policy is placed in the privileged Windows Code Integrity folder (C:\Windows\System32\CodeIntegrity\). Upon reboot, the policy prevents EDR drivers from loading, effectively bypassing security measures and may further enable undetected lateral movement within an Active Directory environment.
