|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics BIOC | A Kubernetes namespace was created or deleted A Kubernetes namespace was created or deleted. | Informational | Cortex Cloud | AWS Audit Log, Azure Audit Log, Gcp Audit Log, Kubernetes Audit Logs | Defense Evasion |
| 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 |
| 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 | Email attachment with multiple extensions The email includes an attachment(s) with two extensions. The first one being an executable extension. This may indicate an attempt at masquerading the true file type through the misuse of multiple extensions in the attachment name. | Informational | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | Execution, Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Email attachment with Right-to-Left Override Unicode character The email message contains an attachment with a hidden Right-to-Left Override Unicode character. | Low | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | Defense Evasion, Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Email attachment(s) with potentially malicious MIME type The email message contains an attachment(s) with a potentially malicious MIME type. | Informational | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | Defense Evasion, Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Email containing a link with an IP address convention was detected A link with IP address convention was detected within the email body. | Informational | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | Defense Evasion, Execution |
| 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 |
| Analytics BIOC | Masquerading as a default local account A user created a new local account with the name of a default local account, such as Guest and DefaultAccount. An attacker may create a user with these known names to evade detection. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion, Persistence |
| 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 | Punycode characters detected in URL(s) Punycode character(s) detected within URL(s) in email content. | Informational | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | Defense Evasion, Execution |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 | Suspicious Unicode character detected in email Unicode characters can be used for obfuscation, allowing malicious actors to disguise harmful intent, URLs or attachments By embedding non-printing Unicode characters, attackers can bypass security filters and evade detection mechanisms Such characters may also be used for phishing attempts that appear legitimate to both users and security systems. | Informational | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | 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 |
| Analytics BIOC | Usage of homograph characters detected in an email Detected characters resembling Latin letters within an email's subject and/or body. This could indicate an attempt to impersonate a well-known brand or impersonate someone's identity. This could also be used as a method to evade text scanners and analyzers. | Informational | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Usage of homograph characters detected in an email's from header Detected characters resembling Latin letters within an email's From header. This could indicate an attempt to impersonate a well-known brand or impersonate someone's identity. This could also be used as a method to evade text scanners and analyzers. | Informational | Email Security | Microsoft 365 Emails | Defense Evasion |
