Description: On Windows, it's common to see threat actors achieve initial execution via malicious script files masquerading as Microsoft Office files. A nice way to prevent this attack chain is to alter the default application associated with these files (HTA, JS, VBA, VBS) to notepad.exe. Now when a user is successfully tricked into clicking a HTA file on disk it will open the script in notepad and execution will not occur.

Description: Cryptojacking malware is becoming more suffisticated, with mining malware leveraging DLL sideloading to hide on machine and reducing CPU load to stay below detection thresholds. One thing they all have in common is they have to make connections to mining pools, this is where we can find them. Monitor your proxy and DNS logs for connections containing common mining pool strings (e.g *xmr.* OR *pool.com OR *pool.org OR pool.*).

Autoruns is a tool developed by Sysinternals that allows you to view all of the locations in Windows where applications can insert themselves to launch at boot or when certain applications are opened. Malware often takes advantages of these locations to ensure that it runs whenever your computer boots up.
Autoruns conveniently includes a non-interactive command line utility. This code generates a CSV of Autoruns entries, converts them to JSON, and finally inserts them into a custom Windows Event Log. By doing this, we can take advantage of our existing WEF infrastructure to get these entries into our SIEM and start looking for signs of malicious persistence on endpoints and servers.
Install:
Download AutorunsToWinEventLog.
Usage:
From an Admin Powershell console run .\Install.ps1
This script does the following:
Creates the directory structure at c:\Program Files\AutorunsToWinEventLog
Copies over AutorunsToWinEventLog.ps1 to that directory

yarGen is a generator for YARA rules
The main principle is the creation of yara rules from strings found in malware files while removing all strings that also appear in goodware files. Therefore yarGen includes a big goodware strings and opcode database as ZIP archives that have to be extracted before the first use.
The rule generation process also tries to identify similarities between the files that get analyzed and then combines the strings to so called super rules. The super rule generation does not remove the simple rule for the files that have been combined in a single super rule. This means that there is some redundancy when super rules are created. You can suppress a simple rule for a file that was already covered by super rule by using --nosimple.
Install:
Download the latest release.
pip install -r requirements.txt python yarGen.py --update
Usage:
`# Create a new strings and opcodes database from an Office 2013 program directory yarGen.py -c --opcodes -i office -g /opt/packs/office2013
yarGen.py -u --opcodes -i office -g /opt/packs/office365`

An incident response plan is a set of procedures that a company puts in place to manage and mitigate the impact of a security incident, such as a data breach or a cyber attack.
The theory behind an incident response plan is that it helps a company to be prepared for and respond effectively to a security incident, which can minimize the damage and reduce the chances of it happening again in the future.
There are several reasons why businesses need an incident response plan:
To minimize the impact of a security incident: An incident response plan helps a company to identify and address the source of a security incident as quickly as possible, which can help to minimize the damage and reduce the chances of it spreading.
To meet regulatory requirements: Many industries have regulations that require companies to have an incident response plan in place. For example, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires merchants and other organizations that accept credit cards to have an incident response plan.
To protect reputation: A security incident can damage a company's reputation, which can lead to a loss of customers and revenue. An incident response plan can help a company to manage the situation and minimize the damage to its reputation.
To reduce the cost of a security incident: The cost of a security incident can be significant, including the cost of remediation, legal fees, and lost business. An incident response plan can help a company to minimize these costs by providing a roadmap for responding to the incident.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts a victim's files. The attackers then demand a ransom from the victim to restore access to the files; hence the name ransomware.
The theory behind a ransomware response plan is that it helps a company to be prepared for and respond effectively to a ransomware attack, which can minimize the impact of the attack and reduce the chances of it happening again in the future.
There are several reasons why businesses need a ransomware response plan:
To minimize the impact of a ransomware attack: A ransomware response plan helps a company to identify and address a ransomware attack as quickly as possible, which can help to minimize the damage and reduce the chances of the ransomware spreading to other systems.
To protect against data loss: Ransomware attacks can result in the loss of important data, which can be costly and disruptive for a business. A ransomware response plan can help a company to recover from an attack and avoid data loss.
To protect reputation: A ransomware attack can damage a company's reputation, which can lead to a loss of customers and revenue. A ransomware response plan can help a company to manage the situation and minimize the damage to its reputation.
To reduce the cost of a ransomware attack: The cost of a ransomware attack can be significant, including the cost of remediation, legal fees, and lost business. A ransomware response plan can help a company to minimize these costs by providing a roadmap for responding to the attack.

This is a “first aid” style of guidance for cybersecurity to help you prepare for a crisis and limit the potential damage in a crisis.
This includes tips and guidance for technical, operational, legal, and communications aspects of a major cybersecurity incident.
Key Takeaways
Preparation pays off – Preparing for a major incident can reduce damage to the organization, as well as reduce incident cost and management difficulty.
Operationalize your incident management processes – Managing major cybersecurity incidents must be part of standard business risk management processes.
Coordination is critical – Effective cybersecurity incident management requires collaboration and coordination of technical, operations, communications, legal, and governance functions.
Stay calm and do no harm in an incident – Overreacting can be as damaging as underreacting.
