This rule detects the execution of known Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool processes or network connections to domains associated with RMM tools. It leverages an external CSV file containing a list of RMM tool executable names and their associated domains to identify suspicious activity. The rule aims to identify the presence and use of legitimate RMM software, which can be abused by adversaries for remote access and control.

Detects an executable initiating a network connection to "ngrok" domains. Attackers were seen using this "ngrok" in order to store their second stage payloads and malware. While communication with such domains can be legitimate, often times is a sign of either data exfiltration by malicious actors or additional download.

This rule detects suspicious network connections to Dropbox API endpoints (api.dropboxapi.com or content.dropboxapi.com) originating from any executable that is not the legitimate Dropbox application. This behavior can indicate an adversary using a non-standard or malicious process to exfiltrate data or establish command and control via Dropbox.

The analytic detects the execution of `arp.exe` with the `-a` flag, which is used to list network connections on a compromised system. This activity is significant because both Red Teams and adversaries use `arp.exe` for situational awareness and Active Directory discovery. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to map the network, identify active devices, and plan further lateral movement or attacks.

šŸ“Œ Description

Threat actors frequently register lookalike domains to support malicious activities such as phishing attacks, drive-by compromises, and command-and-control (C2) operations. This KQL hunting query is designed to help identify potential phishing and typosquatting domains that may be targeting your organization or its third-party vendors.

šŸ” Threat Intelligence Feed

The hunting query utilizes data from the SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC) API, which provides access to newly registered domains.

API Endpoint:
https://isc.sans.edu/api/recentdomains/today?json

Use Cases:

Threat intelligence enrichment
Detection of suspicious or malicious domains
Security log correlation
Returned Data Fields:

Domain name
Registration date
IP address
Type
Additional metadata (if available)
Query by Date (Optional):
Example: https://isc.sans.edu/api/recentdomains/2025-07-08?json

Detects when a non-browser process initiates network communication with the Telegram API. This activity is suspicious as it could indicate the use of Telegram for covert command and control (C2) or data exfiltration by malware, bypassing typical browser-based interactions.

This rule detects network connections initiated by any binary to the domains 'mega.co.nz' or 'mega.nz'. Attackers have been observed using file-sharing services like MEGA for uploading and downloading additional payloads, facilitating data exfiltration or staging. This detection aims to identify such suspicious communication patterns.

Ngrok is a legitimate tool that creates secure tunnels to localhost servers through NAT/firewalls, often used by developers.

Additionally, Ngrok tunnels have been used by Iranian APT groups, among others, to support their operations particularly for Command and Control (C2), data exfiltration, and initial access staging.

Detects the use of encoded or obfuscated IP addresses (hex, octal, etc.) within a URL in conjunction with common download commands. This technique is often used by adversaries to evade simple network-based detections or to obscure their infrastructure.

Detects highly unusual network connections initiated by notepad.exe. This behavior is suspicious because notepad.exe is a simple text editor not designed for network communication. This technique has been observed in campaigns where threat actors inject shellcode into a suspended notepad.exe process to establish command and control (C2) connections.
