Cross-Platform Rule Translation: From Sigma to CrowdStrike with Uncoder AI
How It Works
Uncoder AI takes structured detection content written in Sigma, a popular open detection rule format, and automatically converts it into platform-specific logic — in this case, CrowdStrike Endpoint Search syntax.
The Sigma rule describes a technique where Deno (a secure JavaScript runtime) downloads and writes potentially malicious DLLs via HTTP(S) directly to directories such as AppData
or Users
.
Left Panel – Sigma Detection Rule:
The rule specifies:
- Logsource: Windows file events
- TargetFileName conditions: Matching file paths like
denogen
,denoremotehttps
,Users
, orAppData
MITRE tags: Execution, Command-and-Control (T1059.007, T1105)
Right Panel – CrowdStrike Query Output:
Uncoder AI generates equivalent logic using the CrowdStrike query syntax. It maintains the same behavioral logic (suspicious Deno file paths) while translating:
- YAML fields into CrowdStrike-compatible fields like
TemporaryFileName
andTargetFileName
- Logical nesting (
or
,and
) and regex-style path matching - Full preservation of detection intent and structure
Why It’s Innovative
Manual rule conversion across platforms is tedious, error-prone, and often requires in-depth vendor-specific knowledge. With Uncoder AI:
- Cross-SIEM detection logic is automatically normalized and converted
- Regex, file path semantics, and logical conditions are precisely preserved
- Time-to-deploy is reduced from hours to seconds
LLMs trained on platform syntax rules ensure that the converted output respects each vendor’s query constraints while aligning with the original detection behavior.
Operational Value
For detection engineers and SOC teams, this feature delivers:
- Rapid content reuse across heterogeneous security stacks (e.g., SOCs using both Sigma and CrowdStrike).
- Preserved detection quality thanks to semantic-aware AI translation.
- Scalable threat coverage without duplicating engineering effort per platform.
- Lower onboarding curve for junior analysts unfamiliar with CrowdStrike’s syntax.
Uncoder AI empowers organizations to operationalize Sigma content instantly in CrowdStrike environments, keeping pace with adversarial techniques like Deno-based remote execution.
