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 local pySigma backend, then reveal pipelines only when you actually need them.

title: Potential Data Exfiltration Over SMTP Via Send-MailMessage Cmdlet
id: 9a7afa56-4762-43eb-807d-c3dc9ffe211b
status: test
description: |
Detects the execution of a PowerShell script with a call to the "Send-MailMessage" cmdlet along with the "-Attachments" flag. This could be a potential sign of data exfiltration via Email.
Adversaries may steal data by exfiltrating it over an un-encrypted network protocol other than that of the existing command and control channel. The data may also be sent to an alternate network location from the main command and control server.
