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.

description: |
    Detects usage of NimScan, a portscanner utility.
    In early 2025, adversaries were observed using this utility to scan for open ports on remote hosts in a compromised environment.
    This rule identifies the execution of NimScan based on the process image name and specific hash values associated with different versions of the tool.
