Creating SIGMA Rule
Following are some basic rules to be followed while writing a sigma rule:
- Follows YAML format, use only spaces (no tabs).
- All values are case-insensitive strings
- You can make use of wildcard characters '*' and '?' in strings e.g.,
'*\cmd.exe' - Wildcards can be escaped with '\' e.g.,
'*' - Special Field Values:
- Null values are defined with
'null' - Empty value is defined with
''
Note: It is strongly advisable to use an IDE like VSCode (free from Microsoft) to edit / work with Sigma files. They natively support YAML formatting and can help you save a lot of heartburn w.r.t to YAML formatting.
