002
Detects Python scripts making outbound network connections directly to IP addresses without prior DNS resolution. This behavior can strongly indicate hardcoded Command and Control (C2) communication, where an adversary has embedded the C2 server's IP address directly into the script to bypass DNS-based security controls or to ensure connectivity even if DNS is compromised or unavailable. The rule filters out private IP addresses and aggregates connections by device and remote IP, flagging those with a low connection count (less than 10) to reduce noise from legitimate, high-volume bare-IP traffic.

This rule detects unusual outbound Server Message Block (SMB) traffic originating from common Windows processes (explorer.exe, svchost.exe, system.exe) to external IP addresses (not RFC1918 private ranges). It triggers if a device makes 5 or more SMB connections to unique remote IPs within an hour. This could indicate lateral movement, data exfiltration, or other malicious activity.

106
Detects anomalous external network connections originating from specific Windows binaries (LockAppHost, makecab, Magnify) targeted by DeepLoad's APC injection technique. These native binaries rarely initiate external public network connections.

004
This rule detects processes making three or more successful outbound network connections within an hour to known code or text sharing sites like Pastebin, GitHub, or Gist. This activity can be indicative of data exfiltration, command and control (C2) communication, or staging of malicious code.

Detects anomalous outbound network connections originating from the Python/vLLM process to irregular ports or cloud metadata IPs. This behavior may indicate command-and-control establishment, secondary staging, or cloud metadata pivoting following a successful CVE-2026-22778 exploit.

001
This rule detects outbound network communication to a known command and control (C2) IP address (193.42.11.108) on port 8041, specifically when initiated by processes named 'RuntimeHost.exe' or 'InstallUtil.exe'. This activity is indicative of cryptojacking, potentially leveraging ScreenConnect for initial access or persistence, as described in the referenced Microsoft blog.

Flags outbound HTTPS traffic to a specific Azure Blob Storage path ('note1ggbbhggdwa1.blob.core.windows.net/note/ats/') when initiated by 'RuntimeBroker_update.exe'. This pattern is indicative of a dead-drop command and control (C2) mechanism, potentially associated with the 'Operation Dragon Weave' campaign.

003
This rule detects the execution of 'ComputerDefaults.exe' without command-line arguments, which is a known method for User Account Control (UAC) bypass. It then correlates this activity with outbound network connections to specific ports (5443, 8041, 8443, 80, 443), indicating potential post-exploitation communication or data exfiltration after privilege escalation.

Detects successful outbound network connections to common botnet-associated remote ports (6667, 6697, 8006, 27374, 27375). The rule aggregates these connections by device to identify endpoints communicating with multiple distinct remote IP addresses, a behavior often indicative of botnet participation or command and control activity.

This rule detects network connections from internal devices to identified APT Command and Control (C2) IP address ranges over common ports (8080, 443, 21, 22, 23, 25, 445). This traffic pattern is indicative of unauthorized external communication commonly associated with malware or adversary activity.
