Behavioral LOLBins detection engine with sequential correlation, PE masquerading checks, and Sysmon integration
I built a behavioral detection engine focused on Living-off-the-Land binaries on Windows and wanted to share it with the community for feedback.Problem it tries to solve Traditional signature/hash-based detection struggles with LOLBins because they are legitimate, signed Microsoft binaries. Attackers also rename them, obfuscate command lines, and chain multiple utilities across time. Single-event rules often miss the broader operational context.What the tool doesCollects process telemetry (prefers Sysmon Event ID 1, falls back to psutil)Single-event behavioral rules for common LOLBins (certutil, bitsadmin, mshta, regsvr32, rundll32, powershell, wmic, etc.)Sequential multi-stage correlation (download → execute, LOLBin → encoded PowerShell, process cascades)Binary masquerading detection via PE OriginalFileNamePPID spoofing anomaly checksCommand-line obfuscation heuristics (carets, backticks, Base64 blocks, environment variable slicing)False-positive suppression + de-duplicationTimeline reconstruction (±5–10 min window) + process lineageLocal web dashboard for triageAutomated Markdown incident reports + webhook support (Slack/Discord/SIEM)Architecture highlightsModular pipeline: collector → correlation state machine → detection engine → timeline reconstructor → dispatcherRules can be written in YAML (declarative) or pure PythonBuilt-in threat emulation test harness (11 scenarios currently)Current limitationspsutil mode has polling latency (can miss very short-lived processes)Still user-mode only (no kernel/ETW consumer yet)Needs more real-world tuning of suppression rulesGitHub: https://github.com/nimesh895/Behavioral-Living-off-the-Land-LOLBins-Detection-SystemWould love feedback on:Rule coverage / false positive rates you’ve seen with similar approachesMissing high-value sequential chainsWhether the dashboard and timeline reconstruction are useful in practiceAny other LOLBins or techniques I should prioritizeHappy to answer technical questions or discuss design decisions.
