This hunt detects adversary behavior consistent with the Vidar malware family by identifying network connections and file artifacts matching its known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Proactively hunting for these specific IOCs in Azure Sentinel is critical to uncover early-stage infections or lateral movement that may have bypassed standard signature-based defenses.

Here are specific false positive scenarios for the ThreatFox: Vidar IOCs detection rule in an enterprise environment, along with suggested filters and exclusions:
Endpoint Protection Scanning of Quarantined Archives
\\FileServer\Quarantine. This process extracts and scans legacy software installers (e.g., old versions of SAP GUI or Oracle Client) that contain known Vidar IOCs embedded within their installation packages, even though the files are benign and isolated.C:\Program Files\Quarantine\* or specific hash values for known internal software installers from the alert trigger. Additionally, filter out events where the parent process is the EDR scanner itself (e.g., csagent.exe or MsMpEng.exe).IT Administration: Patch Deployment via SCCM
ccmexec.exe) downloads and unpacks the installer package on workstations. This specific version of Adobe includes a shared library that matches one of the 65 Vidar IOCs, generating alerts across hundreds of endpoints simultaneously during the push.ccmexec.exe and the specific file hash of the known Adobe update package. Alternatively, suppress alerts for this IOC if the event timestamp falls within the defined maintenance window (e.g., Sundays 02:00–06:00 UTC).
