Remote Access Tool - ScreenConnect Execution
An adversary may use legitimate desktop support and remote access software, such as Team Viewer, Go2Assist, LogMein, AmmyyAdmin, etc, to establish an interactive command and control channel to target systems within networks. These services are commonly used as legitimate technical support software, and may be allowed by application control within a target environment. Remote access tools like VNC, Ammyy, and Teamviewer are used frequently when compared with other legitimate software commonly used by adversaries. (Citation: Symantec Living off the Land)
Remote Access Tool - ScreenConnect Installation Execution
Detects ScreenConnect program starts that establish a remote access to a system.
Remote Access Tool - ScreenConnect Potential Suspicious Remote Command Execution
Detects potentially suspicious child processes launched via the ScreenConnect client service.
Remote Access Tool - Simple Help Execution
An adversary may use legitimate desktop support and remote access software, such as Team Viewer, Go2Assist, LogMein, AmmyyAdmin, etc, to establish an interactive command and control channel to target systems within networks. These services are commonly used as legitimate technical support software, and may be allowed by application control within a target environment. Remote access tools like VNC, Ammyy, and Teamviewer are used frequently when compared with other legitimate software commonly used by adversaries. (Citation: Symantec Living off the Land)
Remote Access Tool - TacticalRMM Agent Registration to Potentially Attacker-Controlled Server
Detects TacticalRMM agent installations where the --api, --auth, and related flags are used on the command line. These parameters configure the agent to connect to a specific RMM server with authentication, client ID, and site ID. This technique could indicate a threat actor attempting to register the agent with an attacker-controlled RMM infrastructure silently.
Remote Access Tool - UltraViewer Execution
An adversary may use legitimate desktop support and remote access software, such as Team Viewer, Go2Assist, LogMein, AmmyyAdmin, etc, to establish an interactive command and control channel to target systems within networks. These services are commonly used as legitimate technical support software, and may be allowed by application control within a target environment. Remote access tools like VNC, Ammyy, and Teamviewer are used frequently when compared with other legitimate software commonly used by adversaries. (Citation: Symantec Living off the Land)

Detects the execution of a renamed Microsoft Teams binary.
Visual Studio NodejsTools PressAnyKey Renamed Execution
Detects renamed execution of "Microsoft.NodejsTools.PressAnyKey.exe", which can be abused as a LOLBIN to execute arbitrary binaries
Renamed Remote Utilities RAT (RURAT) Execution
Detects execution of renamed Remote Utilities (RURAT) via Product PE header field
Capture Credentials with Rpcping.exe
Detects using Rpcping.exe to send a RPC test connection to the target server (-s) and force the NTLM hash to be sent in the process.
Ruby Inline Command Execution
Detects execution of ruby using the "-e" flag. This is could be used as a way to launch a reverse shell or execute live ruby code.
Rundll32 InstallScreenSaver Execution
An attacker may execute an application as a SCR File using rundll32.exe desk.cpl,InstallScreenSaver
Potential Obfuscated Ordinal Call Via Rundll32
Detects execution of "rundll32" with potential obfuscated ordinal calls
Rundll32 Spawned Via Explorer.EXE
Detects execution of "rundll32.exe" with a parent process of Explorer.exe. This has been observed by variants of Raspberry Robin, as first reported by Red Canary.
Suspicious Process Start Locations
Detects suspicious process run from unusual locations
Suspicious Rundll32 Setupapi.dll Activity
setupapi.dll library provide InstallHinfSection function for processing INF files. INF file may contain instructions allowing to create values in the registry, modify files and install drivers. This technique could be used to obtain persistence via modifying one of Run or RunOnce registry keys, run process or use other DLLs chain calls (see references) InstallHinfSection function in setupapi.dll calls runonce.exe executable regardless of actual content of INF file.
Potential ShellDispatch.DLL Functionality Abuse
Detects potential "ShellDispatch.dll" functionality abuse to execute arbitrary binaries via "ShellExecute"
Potentially Suspicious Rundll32 Activity
Detects suspicious execution of rundll32, with specific calls to some DLLs with known LOLBIN functionalities
Potentially Suspicious Rundll32.EXE Execution of UDL File
Detects the execution of rundll32.exe with the oledb32.dll library to open a UDL file. Threat actors can abuse this technique as a phishing vector to capture authentication credentials or other sensitive data.
Rundll32 Execution With Uncommon DLL Extension
Detects the execution of rundll32 with a command line that doesn't contain a common extension
Suspicious Workstation Locking via Rundll32
Detects a suspicious call to the user32.dll function that locks the user workstation
WebDav Client Execution Via Rundll32.EXE
Detects "svchost.exe" spawning "rundll32.exe" with command arguments like "C:\windows\system32\davclnt.dll,DavSetCookie". This could be an indicator of exfiltration or use of WebDav to launch code (hosted on a WebDav server).
Scheduled Task Creation with Curl and PowerShell Execution Combo
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using schtasks.exe, potentially in combination with curl for downloading payloads and PowerShell for executing them. This facilitates executing malicious payloads or connecting with C&C server persistently without dropping the malware sample on the host.
Schedule Task Creation From Env Variable Or Potentially Suspicious Path Via Schtasks.EXE
Detects Schtask creations that point to a suspicious folder or an environment variable often used by malware
Suspicious Scheduled Task Name As GUID
Detects creation of a scheduled task with a GUID like name
Potential Persistence Via Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser
Detects manual execution of the "Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser" task via schtasks. In order to trigger persistence stored in the "\AppCompatFlags\TelemetryController" registry key.
Scheduled Task Executing Payload from Registry
Detects the creation of a schtasks that potentially executes a payload stored in the Windows Registry using PowerShell.
Suspicious Schtasks Schedule Type With High Privileges
Detects scheduled task creations or modification to be run with high privileges on a suspicious schedule type
Suspicious Scheduled Task Creation via Masqueraded XML File
Detects the creation of a scheduled task using the "-XML" flag with a file without the '.xml' extension. This behavior could be indicative of potential defense evasion attempt during persistence
Service StartupType Change Via Sc.EXE
Detect the use of "sc.exe" to change the startup type of a service to "disabled" or "demand"

Service Security Descriptor Tampering Via Sc.EXE
Detection of sc.exe utility adding a new service with special permission which hides that service.

Detects the modification of an existing service in order to execute an arbitrary payload when the service is started or killed as a potential method for persistence.
Potential Shim Database Persistence via Sdbinst.EXE
Detects installation of a new shim using sdbinst.exe. Adversaries may establish persistence and/or elevate privileges by executing malicious content triggered by application shims
Uncommon Extension Shim Database Installation Via Sdbinst.EXE
Detects installation of a potentially suspicious new shim with an uncommon extension using sdbinst.exe. Adversaries may establish persistence and/or elevate privileges by executing malicious content triggered by application shims
Sdclt Child Processes
A General detection for sdclt spawning new processes. This could be an indicator of sdclt being used for bypass UAC techniques.

Potential SPN Enumeration Via Setspn.EXE
Detects service principal name (SPN) enumeration used for Kerberoasting
Setup16.EXE Execution With Custom .Lst File
