Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics BIOC | A LOLBIN was copied to a different location To evade detection, attackers may copy a LOLBIN executable to a different location. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | A process is masquerading as a common Microsoft product An attacker might leverage common Microsoft software image names to run malicious processes without being caught. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | A suspicious executable with multiple file extensions was created An executable file with multiple extensions was created. This technique is frequently used to disguise malware as user content. | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Execution, Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | A third-party utility was copied to a different location To evade detection, attackers may copy a third-party utility executable to a different location. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| BIOC | Common Apple process name missing Apple digital signature These common Apple process names should normally be signed with the Apple Inc. digital signature. Naming processes with common names is a common way attackers obfuscate their activities. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Defense Evasion |
| BIOC | Common Mozilla process name missing Mozilla digital certificate These common Mozilla process names should normally be signed with the Mozilla Corporation digital signature. Naming processes with common names is a common way attackers obfuscate their activities. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Common third-party software name masquerading An attacker might leverage common third-party software image names to run malicious processes without being caught. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Executable moved to Windows system folder An attacker may be trying to avoid detection by moving an executable to a Windows system folder. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Execution of masqueraded third-party utility An attacker may be trying to avoid detection of third-party utility execution by renaming it. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Execution of renamed lolbin An attacker may be trying to avoid detection of lolbin's execution using a renamed lolbin. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| BIOC | File renamed to have a script extension Adversaries may create 'benign-looking' files, which are later used as malicious scripts by changing their extension. | Informational | Platform Analytics | File | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Masquerading as the Linux crond process Copies a file and renames it as crond. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare service DLL was added to the registry A service was added as a dll, which will be executed by svchost.exe. This is a stealthy technique attackers use to persist their malware. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion, Persistence |
| BIOC | Shell binary copied to another location Attackers may try to evade detection by copying the shell binary to an innocent-looking name. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Space after filename A file was created or renamed to have a space at the end of its name. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion |
| BIOC | Space after filename creation An attacker may append a space to the end of a filename to change how it's processed by the operating system. | Informational | Platform Analytics | File | Defense Evasion |
| BIOC | Suspicious .NET process spawns csc.exe A suspicious process in the Microsoft .NET directory spawned the C# compiler. This may occur if an attacker masquerades a process like MSBuild (e.g. PowerLessShell). | Low | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious process accessed a site masquerading as Google A suspicious process accessed a site masquerading as Google. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Command and Control, Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious Process Spawned by wininit.exe An unusual process was spawned by wininit.exe, possibly indicating malicious local or remote code execution. | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Svchost.exe loads a rare unsigned module Svchost.exe loads a rare unsigned module, which can indicate an attacker's malicious service execution. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Defense Evasion, Persistence |
| BIOC | Windows process masquerading by an unsigned process A process is trying to disguise itself as a legitimate Windows process, but is unsigned. This usually indicates malicious activity. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Defense Evasion |
