The 'Windows Debugger Tool Execution' rule is designed to detect potentially malicious use of legitimate debugging tools in a production environment. Often, tools like x32dbg, x64dbg, and windbg are utilized by malware such as PlugX and DarkGate for DLL side-loading attacks. This detection is crucial as it aids Security Operations Centers (SOCs) in identifying suspicious behavior when these tools are executed by non-technical users or in unexpected contexts. The rule leverages a query on endpoint process data, focusing on the execution of specific debugger processes, gathering metrics such as the first and last execution time, user details, and related parent process information. The detection suggests a proactive measure to curb the exploitation of debugging tools for malicious purposes, thus enhancing security posture against targeted attacks that misuse these legitimate functions.
