title: Base64 Encoding Via Built-In Windows Utility
id: 7c1e0a34-2b5f-4d18-9a63-0c8b1f4e5a71
status: experimental
description: |
    A sample rule for the huntrule.com converter. Detects a built-in utility being asked to
    base64-encode a file, which is a common way to stage data before moving it off a host.
    The flag is written out in both its dash and slash spellings, because the utility
    accepts either and a rule that names only one misses half the invocations.

description: |
    A sample rule for the huntrule.com converter. Detects the download-and-run pattern where a
    remote payload is fetched and executed in one command. It exercises a value list under a
    single field, which every backend has to expand into its own OR form.

title: Registry Import With A Suspicious Path
id: 5b3a8e91-4c26-4f70-b1d8-6e97c30a2f5d
status: experimental
description: |
    A sample rule for the huntrule.com converter. Detects a registry import whose argument does
    not look like an ordinary file path. It exercises a regular expression alongside a `not`
    filter, so the report has both a regex to check against the target's engine and a negated
    branch to place.

title: File Copy Through The Print Utility
id: 3e6c17b8-9f40-4a2d-85e1-7b4d0c9a6f23
status: experimental
description: |
    A sample rule for the huntrule.com converter. Detects the print utility being used to copy an
    executable rather than to print. It exercises `startswith` together with `contains|all`, where
    several substrings must all appear in one field.

title: Scheduled Task Created From A Temp Path
id: 9d24a3ee-8a1b-4f26-b90f-4a71e2c85d17
status: experimental
description: |
    A sample rule for the huntrule.com converter. Detects schtasks.exe registering a task whose
    command line points into a temp directory, a common persistence shape. It exercises the
    bread-and-butter Sigma form — several selections ANDed by the condition — with no exotic
    modifiers, so it converts on every shipped target.
