The Indoexploit Autoexploiter rule detects potential automated exploitation activity by identifying suspicious payloads or behavior indicative of an auto-exploitation tool commonly used in advanced persistent threats. SOC teams should proactively hunt for this behavior in Azure Sentinel to identify and mitigate early-stage compromise attempts that may evade traditional detection methods.
YARA Rule
rule indoexploit_autoexploiter {
strings: $ = "echo \"IndoXploit - Auto Xploiter\""
condition: any of them
}
This YARA rule can be deployed in the following contexts:
Scenario: Scheduled system backup using Veeam Backup & Replication
Filter/Exclusion: Check for presence of veeam in the process name or command line, or filter by user veeam or backup.
Scenario: Automated patch deployment via Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)
Filter/Exclusion: Look for sccm or configmgr in the process name, or filter by user SYSTEM or admin.
Scenario: Regular log rotation using logrotate on Linux servers
Filter/Exclusion: Filter for logrotate in the command line or process name, or check for /etc/logrotate.conf in the file path.
Scenario: Database backup job using MySQL or PostgreSQL scheduled via cron
Filter/Exclusion: Check for mysqldump, pg_dump, or cron in the command line, or filter by user mysql or postgres.
Scenario: Automated software update via Chocolatey or WSUS on Windows endpoints
Filter/Exclusion: Filter for choco or wsus in the command line, or check for chocolatey or wsusoffline in the process name.
