Hunt Hypothesis

This hunt targets adversaries leveraging C#-based Red and Black team tools that generate unique TypeLibGUID artifacts to establish persistence or execute reconnaissance within the environment. Proactively hunting for these specific GUIDs in Azure Sentinel is critical because they often indicate early-stage tool deployment or lateral movement attempts that may bypass standard signature-based detections due to their low severity classification.

YARA Rule

        description = "Detects c# red/black-team tools via typelibguid"
        reference = "https://github.com/GhostPack/SafetyKatz"
        author = "Arnim Rupp"

    strings:
        $typelibguid0 = "8347e81b-89fc-42a9-b22c-f59a6a572dec" ascii nocase wide
    condition:
        (uint16(0) == 0x5A4D and uint32(uint32(0x3C)) == 0x00004550) and any of them
