status: production
description: This analytic detects mailbox rule creation, a common technique used in Business Email Compromise. It uses a scoring mechanism to identify a combination of attributes often featured in mailbox rules created by attackers.
This may indicate that an attacker has gained access to the account.
search: '`o365_management_activity` Workload=Exchange Operation="New-InboxRule" |
stats values(Name) as Name, values(MarkAsRead) as MarkAsRead, values(MoveToFolder)
as MoveToFolder by _time Id user | lookup ut_shannon_lookup word as Name | eval
entropy_score=if(ut_shannon<=2, 1, 0) | eval len_score=if(len(Name)<=3, 1,0) | eval
read_score=if(MarkAsRead="True", 1, 0) | eval folder_score=if(match(MoveToFolder,
"^(RSS|Conversation History|Archive)"), 1, 0) | eval suspicious_score=entropy_score+len_score+read_score+folder_score
| where suspicious_score>2 | `o365_bec_email_hiding_rule_created_filter`'
how_to_implement: You must install the Splunk Microsoft Office 365 Add-on and ingest
Office 365 management activity events. You also need to have the Splunk TA URL
Toolbox (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2734/) installed.
known_false_positives: Short rule names may trigger false positives. Adjust
the entropy and length thresholds as needed.

description: The following analytic identifies the creation of executables or scripts
in suspicious file paths on Windows systems. It leverages the Endpoint.Filesystem
data model to detect files with specific extensions (e.g., .exe, .dll, .ps1) created
in uncommon directories (e.g., \windows\fonts\, \users\public\). This activity is
significant as adversaries often use these paths to evade detection and maintain
persistence. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to execute
unauthorized code, escalate privileges, or persist within the environment, posing
a significant security threat.

specified. Filter as needed.

description: The following analytic detects the creation or connection of anonymous pipes for inter-process communication (IPC) within a Windows environment. Anonymous pipes are commonly used by legitimate system processes, services, and applications to transfer data between related processes. However, adversaries frequently abuse anonymous pipes to facilitate stealthy process injection, command-and-control (C2) communication, credential theft, or privilege escalation. This detection monitors for unusual anonymous pipe activity, particularly involving non-system processes, unsigned executables, or unexpected parent-child process relationships. While legitimate use cases exist—such as Windows services, software installers, or security tools—unusual or high-frequency anonymous pipe activity should be investigated for potential malware, persistence mechanisms, or lateral movement techniques.
data_source:
- Sysmon EventID 17
- Sysmon EventID 18
search: '`sysmon` EventCode IN (17,18) EventType IN ( "CreatePipe", "ConnectPipe") PipeName="*Anonymous Pipe*" NOT( Image IN ("*\\Program Files\\*"))

| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `windows_anonymous_pipe_activity_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name and pipename from your endpoints. If you are using Sysmon,
you must have at least version 6.0.4 of the Sysmon TA. .
known_false_positives: Automation tool might use anonymous pipe for task orchestration or process communication.

status: production
type: Anomaly
description: The following analytic identifies processes running from file paths within the ProgramData directory, a common location abused by adversaries for executing malicious code while evading detection. Threat actors often drop and execute payloads from this directory to bypass security controls, as it typically has write permissions for standard users. While this behavior can indicate malware execution or persistence techniques, it is important to note that some legitimate software, installers, and update mechanisms also run from ProgramData, leading to potential false positives. Security teams should validate detections by correlating with other indicators, such as unusual parent processes, unsigned binaries, or anomalous network activity.

how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
names and speed up the data modeling process.
known_false_positives: Administrators may allow execution of specific binaries in
non-standard paths. Filter as needed.

description: The following analytic detects the creation of scheduled tasks designed to execute commands using native Windows shells like PowerShell, Cmd, Wscript, or Cscript or from public folders such as Users, Temp, or ProgramData. It leverages Windows Security EventCode 4698, 4700, and 4702 to identify when such tasks are registered, enabled, or modified. This activity is significant as it may indicate an attempt to establish persistence or execute malicious commands on a system. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to maintain access, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges, posing a severe threat to the environment.

known_false_positives: False positives are possible if legitimate applications are allowed to register tasks that call a shell to be spawned. Filter as needed based on command-line or processes that are used legitimately. Windows Defender, Google Chrome, and MS Edge updates may trigger this detection.

description: The following analytic detects modifications to the Windows registry under `SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Test`, a location rarely used by legitimate applications in a production environment. Monitoring this key is crucial, as adversaries may create or alter values here for monitoring update of itself file path, updated configuration file, or system mark compromised. The detection leverages **Sysmon Event ID 13** (Registry Value Set) to identify unauthorized changes. Analysts should investigate processes associated with these modifications, particularly unsigned executables or suspicious command-line activity, as they may indicate malware or unauthorized software behavior.

In a typical Windows environment, svchost.exe is a system process that hosts Windows service DLLs, and is expected to be a child of services.exe. A process deviation from this hierarchy may indicate suspicious behavior, such as malicious code attempting to masquerade as a legitimate system process or evade detection. It is essential to investigate the parent process and associated behavior for further signs of compromise or unauthorized activity.

how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
names and speed up the data modeling process.
known_false_positives: Windows Update or other Windows Installer processes may launch their own svchost.exe processes that are not directly spawned by services.exe in certain edge cases (e.g., during patches or updates).

description: The following analytic detects an unusual process execution pattern where a process running from C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ attempts to execute a binary from C:\Windows\System32\. In a typical Windows environment, 32-bit processes under SysWOW64 should primarily interact with 32-bit binaries within the same directory. However, an execution flow where a 32-bit process spawns a 64-bit binary from System32 can indicate potential process injection, privilege escalation, evasion techniques, or unauthorized execution hijacking.

author: Teoderick Contreras, Splunk
status: production
description: SnappyBee is a stealthy malware variant designed to exfiltrate sensitive data while evading traditional security measures. It primarily spreads through phishing emails, malicious attachments, and drive-by downloads. Once executed, SnappyBee establishes persistence by modifying system registries and injecting malicious code into legitimate processes. It employs advanced obfuscation techniques to avoid detection, including polymorphic encryption and sandbox evasion. The malware actively monitors user activities, capturing credentials, keystrokes, and network traffic before transmitting the stolen data to a remote command-and-control (C2) server. This analytic story is designed to detect possible mitre attack tatics and technique related to SnappyBee malware.
narrative: SnappyBee emerged as a highly evasive malware designed for data theft and espionage. Initially spotted in targeted phishing campaigns, it quickly gained notoriety for its stealth and adaptability. Cybersecurity researchers found that SnappyBee disguises itself as legitimate software, infecting systems through malicious email attachments, compromised websites, and software cracks. Once activated, it burrows deep into the system, modifying registries and injecting code into trusted processes to remain undetected. Advanced evasion techniques, such as polymorphic encryption and sandbox detection, make traditional signature-based security ineffective. SnappyBees primary goal is to steal credentials, keystrokes, and network data, transmitting them to remote attackers. Continuous monitoring and proactive threat intelligence remain crucial to counter this evolving cyber menace.
