EXPLORE DETECTIONS
New Country
Detects sign-ins from new countries. The detection considers past activity locations to determine new and infrequent locations.
New Custom Shim Database Created
Adversaries may establish persistence and/or elevate privileges by executing malicious content triggered by application shims. The Microsoft Windows Application Compatibility Infrastructure/Framework (Application Shim) was created to allow for backward compatibility of software as the operating system codebase changes over time.
New DLL Added to AppCertDlls Registry Key
Dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that are specified in the AppCertDLLs value in the Registry key can be abused to obtain persistence and privilege escalation by causing a malicious DLL to be loaded and run in the context of separate processes on the computer.
New DLL Added to AppInit_DLLs Registry Key
DLLs that are specified in the AppInit_DLLs value in the Registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows are loaded by user32.dll into every process that loads user32.dll
New DLL Registered Via Odbcconf.EXE
Detects execution of "odbcconf" with "REGSVR" in order to register a new DLL (equivalent to running regsvr32). Attackers abuse this to install and run malicious DLLs.
New DMSA Service Account Created in Specific OUs
Detects the creation of a dMSASvc account using the New-ADServiceAccount cmdlet in certain OUs. The fact that the Cmdlet is used to create a dMSASvc account in a specific OU is highly suspicious. It is a pattern trying to exploit the BadSuccessor privilege escalation vulnerability in Windows Server 2025. On top of that, if the user that is creating the dMSASvc account is not a legitimate administrator or does not have the necessary permissions, it is a strong signal of an attempted or successful abuse of the BaDSuccessor vulnerability for privilege escalation within the Windows Server 2025 Active Directory environment.
New DNS ServerLevelPluginDll Installed
Detects the installation of a DNS plugin DLL via ServerLevelPluginDll parameter in registry, which can be used to execute code in context of the DNS server (restart required)
New DNS ServerLevelPluginDll Installed Via Dnscmd.EXE
Detects the installation of a DNS plugin DLL via ServerLevelPluginDll parameter in registry, which can be used to execute code in context of the DNS server (restart required)
New Federated Domain Added
Detects the addition of a new Federated Domain.
New Federated Domain Added - Exchange
Detects the addition of a new Federated Domain.
New File Association Using Exefile
Detects the abuse of the exefile handler in new file association. Used for bypass of security products.
New File Exclusion Added To Time Machine Via Tmutil - MacOS
Detects the addition of a new file or path exclusion to MacOS Time Machine via the "tmutil" utility. An adversary could exclude a path from Time Machine backups to prevent certain files from being backed up.
New Firewall Rule Added In Windows Firewall Exception List For Potential Suspicious Application
Detects the addition of a new rule to the Windows Firewall exception list for an application located in a potentially suspicious location.
New Firewall Rule Added In Windows Firewall Exception List Via WmiPrvSE.EXE
Detects the addition of a new "Allow" firewall rule by the WMI process (WmiPrvSE.EXE). This can occur if an attacker leverages PowerShell cmdlets such as "New-NetFirewallRule", or directly uses WMI CIM classes such as "MSFT_NetFirewallRule".
New Firewall Rule Added Via Netsh.EXE
Detects the addition of a new rule to the Windows firewall via netsh
New Generic Credentials Added Via Cmdkey.EXE
Detects usage of "cmdkey.exe" to add generic credentials. As an example, this can be used before connecting to an RDP session via command line interface.
New Github Organization Member Added
Detects when a new member is added or invited to a github organization.
New Kernel Driver Via SC.EXE
Detects creation of a new service (kernel driver) with the type "kernel"
New Kind of Network (NKN) Detection
NKN is a networking service using blockchain technology to support a decentralized network of peers. While there are legitimate uses for it, it can also be used as a C2 channel. This rule looks for a DNS request to the ma>
New Kubernetes Service Account Created
Detects creation of new Kubernetes service account, which could indicate an attacker's attempt to persist within a cluster.
New Module Module Added To IIS Server
Detects the addition of a new module to an IIS server.
New Netsh Helper DLL Registered From A Suspicious Location
Detects changes to the Netsh registry key to add a new DLL value that is located on a suspicious location. This change might be an indication of a potential persistence attempt by adding a malicious Netsh helper
New Network ACL Entry Added
Detects that network ACL entries have been added to a route table which could indicate that new attack vectors have been opened up in the AWS account.
New Network Route Added
Detects the addition of a new network route to a route table in AWS.
