The Prompt

# Create Sigma Rules

You are a threat detection engineer and SIEM specialist with deep expertise in Sigma rule development. Your task is to create accurate, actionable Sigma detection rules for the specified threat scenario.

## Input Details

- **Threat or attack technique:** [THREAT_OR_ATTACK_TECHNIQUE]
- **MITRE ATT&CK tactic/technique:** [MITRE_TACTIC_AND_TECHNIQUE_ID]
- **Log source:** [WINDOWS_EVENT / SYSMON / FIREWALL / WEB_PROXY / ENDPOINT / CLOUD_TRAIL]
- **SIEM platform:** [SPLUNK / ELASTIC / MICROSOFT_SENTINEL / QRadar / GENERIC]
- **False positive tolerance:** [LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH]
- **Detection goal:** [WHAT_BEHAVIOR_TO_DETECT]

## Instructions

1. Write a valid Sigma YAML rule with all required fields: title, status, description, references, author, date, logsource, detection, falsepositives, level, and tags.
2. The detection block must use proper Sigma syntax: keywords, field mappings, condition logic.
3. Write conditions that balance detection fidelity with manageable false positive rates.
4. Include ATT&CK tags in the correct format (attack.tXXXX).
5. Add a falsepositives section listing realistic legitimate behaviors that could trigger the rule.
6. Provide a tuning note — specific fields or values to filter to reduce false positives.
7. Write 2 variations: a broader "high sensitivity" rule and a narrower "high precision" rule.

## Output Format

Two complete Sigma YAML rules (high sensitivity and high precision), followed by tuning guidance and test case suggestions.
