Built-in rule catalog

This page lists every rule in the built-in core-windows rule pack (pack version 0.3.0, 345 rules). It was generated from the rule YAML files in rulepacks/core-windows/rules/; the YAML is the source of truth.

Columns:

  • Severity: the alert severity the rule assigns. Conf.: the rule's declared confidence.
  • Kind: match = one alert per matching event (event_match); threshold = one alert per run when at least min_count events match.
  • Runs every: the rule's priority cadence (P1 = 2 min, P2 = 8 min, P3 = 15 min).
  • Source table: the typed DuckDB relation in the rule's FROM clause (the events the rule alerts on).
  • Also reads: other relations the query or its built-in exclusions read: <source>_context (time-bounded history of the same source), another typed source, or artifact_path_state (latest collected file facts per path).
  • Excl.: number of built-in exclusions shipped with the rule.
  • ATT&CK: declared MITRE ATT&CK technique IDs (metadata only).

Rule IDs and the full SQL are shown in the console under Alert rules when you select a rule.
