Samirbous 6c37d5c6b4 [New Rule] Potential ProcessHerpaderping Detected (#418)
* [New Rule] Suspicious Execution via File Overwrite

* Update defense_evasion_overwrite_followed_by_execution.toml

* Update defense_evasion_overwrite_followed_by_execution.toml

* removed timeline_id

* fixed logic and also added references URL

* tuned logic to exclude potential FPs

not an actual FP, but only observed executable file overwrite by default on Windows is related to SoftwareDistribution, this does not match the sequence (Process Execution followed by Same Process File Overwrite) but added it to exclusion just in case.

* adjusted a bit desc and name

* changed rule file name

* adjusted executable.path for performance

avoiding leading wildcard, users can customize rule if they have different drive letters

* Update rules/windows/defense_evasion_potential_processherpaderping.toml
