This rule identifies outbound network connections to Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) that are present in a predefined watchlist named 'suspicious_asn'. It leverages geo-IP enrichment to extract the ASN of the target IP address and compares it against the watchlist. The rule is designed to detect communication with potentially malicious or suspicious network infrastructure.

0041
This rule detects a suspicious sequence of events: a process launching with a low prevalence executable (meaning it's rarely seen in the environment) followed by that same process initiating an HTTP connection to a low prevalence domain (a domain rarely accessed in the environment) within a 10-minute window. This combination can indicate the execution of novel or custom malware attempting to establish command and control or exfiltrate data to an unusual destination.

This rule detects successful API executions within Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that originate from an IP address identified as a Tor exit node. It correlates GCP Cloud Audit logs, specifically looking for 'ALLOW' actions, with a GCTI (Google Cloud Threat Intelligence) feed that lists known Tor exit node IP addresses. The rule also calculates a risk score, with additional weight given if the originating IP is from certain high-risk countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria).

This rule identifies outbound network connections to a specific Autonomous System Number (ASN). The rule is designed to detect suspicious network traffic that might indicate command and control activity, data exfiltration, or other malicious communications originating from the monitored environment to an ASN that has been deemed suspicious. The specific ASN to monitor is configured within the rule.

This rule detects Command and Control (C2) activity identified by AWS GuardDuty across Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, or Amazon EKS Runtimes. It specifically looks for GuardDuty findings with a product event type matching 'C&CActivity' and filters out sample findings. The rule aims to alert on suspicious communication patterns that indicate an adversary is controlling compromised resources within the AWS environment.

This rule detects the PygmyGoat backdoor on Linux systems by identifying specific byte patterns associated with its functionality. The patterns include code for creating backdoor sockets, forwarding data, the main constructor, and hooking the accept function, indicating the presence and activity of the PygmyGoat malware.

Detects the execution of rundll32.exe that leads to an external network connection, specifically looking for known processes used by the Pikabot malware family for command and control (C2) communication. This rule identifies suspicious network activity originating from rundll32.exe when its parent process is one of the specified Windows binaries, which Pikabot has been observed to hijack for C2.

Detects potential Command and Control (C2) communication activity associated with the Peach Sandstorm APT group. The rule specifically looks for HTTP GET requests to '/api/Core/Command/Init' or '/api/Core/Command/Restart' endpoints, which are indicators of this group's C2 infrastructure.

This rule detects the execution of the IOX tunneling tool, which is used for port forwarding and intranet proxy purposes. It specifically looks for the executable name 'iox.exe' and common command-line arguments associated with its forwarding and proxy functionalities, such as '.exe fwd -l', '.exe fwd -r', '.exe proxy -l', and '.exe proxy -r'. Additionally, it includes specific MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 hashes for version 0.4 of the tool to enhance detection accuracy.

Detects the execution of the "cloudflared" tool with command-line arguments indicative of establishing or running a tunnel. This activity has been observed in post-compromise scenarios by threat actors, such as the Akira ransomware group, to maintain persistence and remote access to compromised networks by creating covert communication channels.

Detects the execution of the Cloudflared Quick Tunnel utility, which can be used by adversaries to establish tunnels for various services like HTTP, RDP, SSH, and SMB. This tool has been observed in use by threat groups, including Akira ransomware, to create ad-hoc tunnels that generate random subdomains on trycloudflare.com.

This rule detects network connections initiated by executables (excluding common internet browsers and known applications) to a list of legitimate, popular websites that have been previously identified as 'dead drop resolvers' in cyberattacks. Attackers leverage these trusted websites (e.g., Facebook, YouTube, Google Drive) to host C2 infrastructure or relay data, aiming to blend in with normal network traffic and evade detection. The rule specifically filters out connections from a comprehensive list of legitimate browser executables and other applications to reduce false positives.
