Windows

Execution of trusted, Microsoft-signed binaries such as `rundll32.exe`, `msiexec.exe`, or `regsvr32.exe` used to execute externally hosted, unsigned, or suspicious payloads through command-line parameters or network retrieval.

WinEventLog:Sysmon EventCode=1 WinEventLog:Sysmon EventCode=3, 22 WinEventLog:Sysmon EventCode=7
[ParentProcessName] Used to profile unexpected parent-child relationships (e.g., regsvr32.exe not launched by explorer.exe)
[SignedBinaryList] List of known signed binaries allowed for execution (e.g., msiexec.exe, regsvr32.exe)
[CommandLineRegex] Regex to match suspicious arguments, such as URLs, script paths, or DLL entrypoints
[RemoteDomainAllowlist] Filter to suppress activity contacting legitimate enterprise domains
AN0227 Analytic 0227
Linux

Execution of trusted system binaries (e.g., `split`, `tee`, `bash`, `env`) used in uncommon sequences or chained behaviors to execute malicious payloads or perform actions inconsistent with normal system or script behavior.

auditd:SYSCALL execve auditd:SYSCALL connect
[TrustedBinaryList] Binaries like `split`, `tee`, `env`, `awk`, `gzip`, often used in benign scripts
[AnomalyScore] Outlier model for process tree and command arguments
AN0228 Analytic 0228
macOS

Use of system binaries such as `osascript`, `bash`, or `curl` to download or execute unsigned code or files in conjunction with application proxying.

macos:unifiedlog exec of osascript, bash, curl with suspicious parameters macos:osquery execution of trusted tools interacting with external endpoints
[TrustedUtilityList] macOS binary whitelist including `/usr/bin/osascript`, `/bin/bash`, `/usr/bin/curl`
[SignedToUnsignedTransition] Used to detect proxy execution from signed binary to unsigned payload
