•updated 27 days ago•0•0•1

This rule detects unauthorized or suspicious automated scraping behavior by identifying periodic, non-interactive tasks that perform high-volume outbound network requests to multiple external hosts. It specifically filters for processes launched via scheduling mechanisms (Task Scheduler, cron) that exhibit indicators of anti-bot or proxy-rotation bypass techniques (such as usage of headless browser tools or proxy-related keywords in command lines). The rule is tuned to ignore legitimate system maintenance, update, and monitoring processes.
