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.

Masquerading occurs when the name or location of an executable, legitimate or malicious, is manipulated or abused for the sake of evading defenses and observation.
Several different variations of this technique have been observed.
