This detection rule focuses on identifying potentially unusual child processes spawned by the Windows volume mixer executable (SndVol.exe). Recognizing uncommon or suspicious child processes is critical in detecting possible malicious activity that leverages legitimate processes in a subversive manner. The rule works by detecting any process that is initiated with SndVol.exe as the parent, but specifically filters out known legitimate usage of rundll32.exe, which is often involved in Windows shell operations. The context of the command line is evaluated to filter out common patterns and retain only atypical behavior. This method allows security practitioners to uncover a potential attack vector without flooding alerts with benign events.
