Possible Creation of Startup Item File - MacOS (via file_event)
lowThis rule detects the creation of a startup item plist file, that automatically get executed at boot initialization to establish persistence. Adversaries may use startup items automatically executed at boot initialization to establish persistence. Startup items execute during the final phase of the boot process and contain shell scripts or other executable files along with configuration information used by the system to determine the execution order for all startup items.
sigmamacOS2026-01-25Possible Security Software Enumeration - MacOs (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects use of system utilities (only grep for now) to discover security software discovery
sigmamacOS2026-01-13JAMF MDM Possible Suspicious Child Process (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects potential anomalous child processes of "jamf". Could be a sign of potential misuse of Jamf as a C2 server as seen by Typhon MythicAgent.
sigmamacOS2026-01-13Suspicious Microsoft Office Child Process - MacOS (via process_creation)
highThis rule detects anomalous child processes spawning from microsoft office suite applications such as word or excel. This could suggests hostile macro execution
sigmamacOSPaid2026-01-10Possible Space After Filename - macOS (via process_creation)
lowThis rule detects attempts to masquerade as legitimate files by adding a space to the end of the filename.
sigmamacOS2026-01-08Possible Base64 Decoded From Images (via process_creation)
highThis rule detects the use of tail to extract bytes at an offset from an image and then decode the base64 value to create a new file with the decoded content. The detected execution is a bash one-liner.
sigmamacOSPaid2026-01-06Suspicious Disk Image Mounting Through Hdiutil - MacOS (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects the execution of the hdiutil utility to mount disk images.
sigmamacOS2026-01-06Suspicious MacOS Emond Launch Daemon (via file_event)
mediumThis rule detects additions to the Emond Launch Daemon that threat actors may use to gain persistence and elevate privileges.
sigmamacOS2026-01-05Possible System Information Enumeration Via System_Profiler (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects the execution of "system_profiler" with specific "Data Types" that have been seen being used by threat actors and malware. It provides system hardware and software configuration information. This process is primarily used for system information discovery. However, "system_profiler" can also be used to determine if virtualization software is being run for defense evasion purposes.
