This rule detects attempts to perform directory traversal attacks by monitoring incoming HTTP requests for repetitive directory navigation sequences (e.g., ../, .., %2F, %5C). Such sequences are often used to bypass security controls and access unauthorized files or directories on the web server.

This rule detects potential command and control (C2) activity related to the Qakbot malware. It specifically monitors for established outbound TLS traffic over non-standard ports (ports other than 443) where the Server Name Indication (SNI) field contains a numeric IPv4 address instead of a domain name, which is a characteristic behavior of Qakbot C2 infrastructure.

Detects network traffic consistent with the default configuration of a Cobalt Strike Malleable C2 Beacon. The rule identifies HTTP GET requests to a '/updates' URI path, accompanied by the specific default User-Agent string 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0)', which is commonly observed in uncustomized Cobalt Strike deployments.

Detects HTTP GET requests originating from internal network hosts to external destinations that match known Emotet C2 communication patterns, specifically those using hardcoded URI paths such as '/wp-content/', '/wp-admin/', or '/tmp/' combined with the 'Accept-Encoding: identity' header.

Detects a high frequency of incoming TCP SYN packets targeting port 3389 (RDP) from a single source within a short time window. This behavior is indicative of a brute-force or credential-stuffing attack against Remote Desktop services.

Detects HTTP requests attempting to access sensitive internal IP addresses (RFC-1918) or cloud metadata services (e.g., 169.254.169.254) which are common indicators of Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) exploitation attempts.

Detects attempts to exploit the Log4Shell vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) by identifying JNDI lookup strings (e.g., ${jndi:ldap://, ${jndi:rmi://, ${jndi:dns://) within HTTP request headers, a technique used to trigger remote code execution in vulnerable Java applications using the Log4j library.

Detects attempts to exploit the Shellshock vulnerability (CVE-2014-6271) by inspecting HTTP request headers for the characteristic function definition syntax '() { :;'. This pattern is commonly used in malicious payloads to trigger command execution via environment variables in CGI scripts.

001
Detects outbound HTTP POST requests characteristic of QakBot malware command and control (C2) activity. The rule identifies a specific combination of a hardcoded User-Agent string ('Trident/7.0') and a URI pattern consisting of 4 to 32 alphanumeric characters ending in .php.

This rule detects potential lateral movement attempts using DCOM-based WMI calls to the remote OXID Resolver on port 135. Attackers often abuse DCOM to remotely trigger WMI methods, enabling remote code execution, discovery, or other malicious activities. The rule triggers on the characteristic DCOM OXID Resolve packet structure associated with this activity.

Detects SMB authentication attempts using NTLM with a blank Lan Manager (LM) hash. This specific pattern is often associated with Pass-the-Hash attacks where tools inject malformed or blank hashes to initiate authentication, a common indicator of lateral movement attempts.

This rule detects the outbound transmission of email attachments via SMTP (ports 25 and 587) that contain archived file formats (zip, 7z, tar.gz, tgz). Attackers often compress collected data into archives to facilitate exfiltration and minimize the time required for data transfer.

This rule detects potential command and control (C2) activity leveraging DNS tunneling. It identifies high-frequency DNS queries that contain unusually long subdomain labels (51 characters or more), which is a common technique used to encode data or commands within DNS protocol traffic to bypass network security controls.

Detects repeated use of the FTP 'STOR' command to transmit data to an external host within a short timeframe. The STOR command is used in the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to upload a file to the server. An unusual frequency of this command toward external destinations may indicate data exfiltration.

Detects repeated RDP connection attempts to port 3389 from a single source within a short timeframe, characteristic of brute force or password spraying activity. The rule monitors for consecutive TLS ClientHello or MCS Connect-Initial packets.

This rule detects attempts to inject malicious JavaScript code via HTTP URI requests. It uses PCRE pattern matching to identify common XSS indicators such as <script> tags, JavaScript event handlers (onerror, onload), and attempts to access document.cookie, which are indicative of stored or reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack patterns.
