Potentially Suspicious EventLog Recon Activity Using Log Query Utilities
Detects execution of different log query utilities and commands to search and dump the content of specific event logs or look for specific event IDs. This technique is used by threat actors in order to extract sensitive information from events logs such as usernames, IP addresses, hostnames, etc.
Potentially Suspicious Execution From Parent Process In Public Folder
Detects a potentially suspicious execution of a parent process located in the "\Users\Public" folder executing a child process containing references to shell or scripting binaries and commandlines.
Process Execution From A Potentially Suspicious Folder
Detects a potentially suspicious execution from an uncommon folder.
Suspicious FileFix Execution Pattern
Detects suspicious FileFix execution patterns where users are tricked into running malicious commands through browser file upload dialog manipulation. This attack typically begins when users visit malicious websites impersonating legitimate services or news platforms, which may display fake CAPTCHA challenges or direct instructions to open file explorer and paste clipboard content. The clipboard content usually contains commands that download and execute malware, such as information stealing tools.
Suspicious Reconnaissance Activity Via GatherNetworkInfo.VBS
Detects execution of the built-in script located in "C:\Windows\System32\gatherNetworkInfo.vbs". Which can be used to gather information about the target machine
Potential Hidden Directory Creation Via NTFS INDEX_ALLOCATION Stream - CLI
Detects command line containing reference to the "::$index_allocation" stream, which can be used as a technique to prevent access to folders or files from tooling such as "explorer.exe" or "powershell.exe"
Execution Of Non-Existing File
Checks whether the image specified in a process creation event is not a full, absolute path (caused by process ghosting or other unorthodox methods to start a process)
Base64 MZ Header In CommandLine

Potentially Suspicious JWT Token Search Via CLI
Detects potentially suspicious search for JWT tokens via CLI by looking for the string "eyJ0eX" or "eyJhbG". JWT tokens are often used for access-tokens across various applications and services like Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and others. Threat actors may search for these tokens to steal them for lateral movement or privilege escalation.
Suspicious LNK Command-Line Padding with Whitespace Characters
Detects exploitation of LNK file command-line length discrepancy, where attackers hide malicious commands beyond the 260-character UI limit while the actual command-line argument field supports 4096 characters using whitespace padding (e.g., 0x20, 0x09-0x0D). Adversaries insert non-printable whitespace characters (e.g., Line Feed \x0A, Carriage Return \x0D) to pad the visible section of the LNK file, pushing malicious commands past the UI-visible boundary. The hidden payload, executed at runtime but invisible in Windows Explorer properties, enables stealthy execution and evasion—commonly used for social engineering attacks. This rule flags suspicious use of such padding observed in real-world attacks.
LSASS Dump Keyword In CommandLine
Detects the presence of the keywords "lsass" and ".dmp" in the commandline, which could indicate a potential attempt to dump or create a dump of the lsass process.
Potential File Download Via MS-AppInstaller Protocol Handler
Detects usage of the "ms-appinstaller" protocol handler via command line to potentially download arbitrary files via AppInstaller.EXE The downloaded files are temporarly stored in ":\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\INetCache\<RANDOM-8-CHAR-DIRECTORY>"
Potential Network Sniffing Activity Using Network Tools
Detects potential network sniffing via use of network tools such as "tshark", "windump". Network sniffing refers to using the network interface on a system to monitor or capture information sent over a wired or wireless connection. An adversary may place a network interface into promiscuous mode to passively access data in transit over the network, or use span ports to capture a larger amount of data.
Execution of Suspicious File Type Extension
Detects whether the image specified in a process creation event doesn't refer to an ".exe" (or other known executable extension) file. This can be caused by process ghosting or other unorthodox methods to start a process. This rule might require some initial baselining to align with some third party tooling in the user environment.
Suspicious Process Patterns NTDS.DIT Exfil
Detects suspicious process patterns used in NTDS.DIT exfiltration
Potentially Suspicious Call To Win32_NTEventlogFile Class
Detects usage of the WMI class "Win32_NTEventlogFile" in a potentially suspicious way (delete, backup, change permissions, etc.) from a PowerShell script
Use Short Name Path in Image
Detect use of the Windows 8.3 short name. Which could be used as a method to avoid Image detection
Use NTFS Short Name in Command Line
Detect use of the Windows 8.3 short name. Which could be used as a method to avoid command-line detection

Registry Modification of MS-settings Protocol Handler
Detects registry modifications to the 'ms-settings' protocol handler, which is frequently targeted for UAC bypass or persistence. Attackers can modify this registry to execute malicious code with elevated privileges by hijacking the command execution path.
Potential Defense Evasion Via Right-to-Left Override
Detects the presence of the "u202+E" character, which causes a terminal, browser, or operating system to render text in a right-to-left sequence. This character is used as an obfuscation and masquerading techniques by adversaries to trick users into opening malicious files.
Script Interpreter Execution From Suspicious Folder
Detects suspicious script execution from suspicious directories or folders accessible by environment variables that may indicate malware activity. Script interpreters (cscript, wscript, mshta, powershell) executing from folders like Temp, Public, or user profile directories may suggest attempts to evade detection or execute malicious scripts.
Script Interpreter Spawning Credential Scanner - Windows
