TL;DR
- What you get: Top 10 Windows ransomware rules (Sysmon + Wazuh) and Linux add-on rules (FIM/auditd patterns), plus Active Response (kill process, isolate host) and ready-to-paste
ossec.confsnippets. - Why it matters: A default Wazuh install won’t block modern ransomware. These rules and AR wiring close critical gaps fast.
- How to use: Import rules → enable AR commands → lab-test with safe simulations → roll out in phases.

What’s Inside (Windows, Linux & Active Response)
Windows (Rules 880100–880109): vssadmin/wbadmin shadow deletion, bcdedit recovery changes, wevtutil clear logs, encoded PowerShell, ransom-note drops, mass-encryption bursts, WMI shadow delete, LOLBin abuse, Defender exclusions.
Linux (Rules 881100–881109): FIM bursts, ransom-note patterns in home dirs, snapshot/backup tampering (btrfs/zfs/timeshift), crypto/archiver misuse, history clearing, bulk chmod/chattr, rclone/mega exfil, LVM snapshot removal, SSH key access bursts.
Active Response (Windows & Linux): kill offending process, optionally isolate host (Windows Firewall/iptables). Ready-to-merge <commands> and <active-response> snippets.

Installation Guide (5 Minutes)
- Copy rules XML: place Windows/Linux XML files into
/var/ossec/etc/rules.d/(or append tolocal_rules.xml), set perms, restart wazuh-manager. - Place AR scripts: copy
kill-processandisolate-hostscripts to/var/ossec/active-response/bin/(Linux scripts must be executable). - Merge config: paste the provided
<commands>and<active-response>blocks into/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf. - Update Manager IP: edit isolation scripts to allow your real Wazuh Manager address.
- Restart services: restart Manager and affected Agents.

Start with kill-process only. Add isolation after proving detections in a lab to avoid accidental outages.
Safe Testing (Lab)
- Windows: create
README_RECOVER_FILES.txton Desktop; runpowershell -enc UwBFAFgA; (admin shell) simulatevssadmin delete shadows /all /quiet. - Linux: drop a ransom-note-named file under
~/Documents; simulate controlled FIM bursts; never test destructive commands on production. - Measure: time-to-detect, time-to-kill, files touched before block, false positives.
Tuning & False Positives
- Adjust
<frequency>/<timeframe>thresholds for mass-encryption heuristics based on workload. - Whitelist known IT automation and backup tools to reduce noise.
- Extend FIM to business-critical folders and shared drives; ignore media/cache paths.

FAQ
Will this block all ransomware?
No single pack can. These rules provide strong detections and optional automated kill/isolation. Pair with EDR and immutable backups.
Can I enable isolation in production?
Test in a lab first. Start with kill-process only, then enable isolation for high-confidence rules.
Do I need Sysmon?
For Windows detections, yes — you’ll need Sysmon events forwarded to Wazuh for best coverage.
