These rulesets have been generated with sigmac wich is available in the official sigma repository.

⚠️ These rulesets are given "as is" to help new analysts to discover SIGMA and Zircolite. They are not filtered for slow rules, rules with a lot of false positives etc. If you know what you do, you SHOULD generate your own rulesets.

• rules_windows_generic_full.json : Full SIGMA ruleset from the "Windows" directory of the official repository (no SYSMON rewriting)
• rules_windows_generic_high.json : Only level high and above SIGMA rules from the "Windows" directory of the official repository (no SYSMON rewriting)
• rules_windows_generic_medium.json : Only level medium and above SIGMA rules from the "Windows" directory of the official repository (no SYSMON rewriting)
• rules_windows_generic.json : Same file as rules_windows_generic_high.json
• rules_windows_sysmon_full.json : Full SIGMA ruleset from the "Windows" directory of the official repository (SYSMON)
• rules_windows_sysmon_high.json : Only level high and above SIGMA rules from the "Windows" directory of the official repository (SYSMON)
• rules_windows_sysmon_medium.json : Only level medium and above SIGMA rules from the "Windows" directory of the official repository (SYSMON)
• rules_windows_sysmon.json : Same file as rules_windows_sysmon_high.json
• rules_linux.json: Full SIGMA ruleset from the "linux" directory of the official repository. This ruleset can be used with Auditd and Sysmon for Linux logs.

As of v2.9.5, Zircolite can auto-update its default rulesets using the -U or --update-rules. There is an auto-updated rulesets repository available here.

The default rulesets provided are the conversion of the rules located in rules/windows directory of the Sigma repository. You should take into account that :

• Some rules are very noisy or produce a lot of false positives depending on your environment or the config file you used with genRules
• Some rules can be very slow depending on your logs

To generate you own ruleset please check the docs here.

For example :

• "Suspicious Eventlog Clear or Configuration Using Wevtutil" : very noisy on fresh environment (labs etc.), commonly generate a lot of useless detection
• "Notepad Making Network Connection" : can slow very significantly the execution of Zircolite
• "Rundll32 Internet Connection" : can be very noisy in some situations
• "Wuauclt Network Connection" : can slow very significantly the execution of Zircolite
• "PowerShell Network Connections : can slow very significantly the execution of Zircolite
