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: Registry Set With Crypto-Classes From The "Cryptography" PowerShell Namespace
id: 1c2a3268-3881-414a-80af-a5b313b14c0e
status: test
description: |
    Detects the setting of a registry inside the "\Shell\Open\Command" value with PowerShell classes from the "System.Security.Cryptography" namespace.
    The PowerShell namespace "System.Security.Cryptography" provides classes for on-the-fly encryption and decryption.
    These can be used for example in decrypting malicious payload for defense evasion.
