Detects the execution of the 'curl' command on Linux systems. This typically indicates an attempt to download files from a remote location or make web requests to external servers. This activity can be associated with adversaries transferring tools or communicating with command and control infrastructure.

Detects non-standard tools initiating outbound connections over port 3389, which is commonly used for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This activity can indicate possible lateral movement within a network. The rule filters out legitimate RDP clients and other known third-party tools to reduce false positives. An initial baseline of legitimate RDP tooling is required for effective use.

Detects Dllhost.EXE initiating an outbound network connection to a non-local IP address. Dllhost.exe is a legitimate Windows process that hosts DLL-based COM+ applications. While legitimate network communication from Dllhost.exe can occur, especially for applications it hosts, unexpected connections to external IP addresses (excluding known Microsoft ranges and local networks) can indicate malicious activity. Adversaries may abuse Dllhost.exe for proxy execution or to establish command and control.

This rule detects instances where the 'winlogon.exe' process initiates outbound network connections to public IP addresses. Winlogon.exe is a critical Windows component responsible for user logon/logoff and the secure attention sequence. Typically, winlogon.exe should not be making outbound network connections to public IPs. Such activity could indicate compromise, potentially by malware like BlackLotus, which has been observed to leverage winlogon.exe for malicious purposes, including command and control or data exfiltration.

This rule detects outbound network connections from a Linux system to known Monero crypto mining pools. The detection is based on a predefined list of destination hostnames associated with various Monero mining operations. This activity is indicative of resource hijacking, where a system's computational resources are illicitly used for cryptocurrency mining.

This rule detects outbound network connections initiated by the `cmstp.exe` process. `cmstp.exe` is the Microsoft Connection Manager Profile Installer, and it is uncommon for this legitimate binary to initiate outbound network connections. Such activity could indicate an adversary is abusing `cmstp.exe` to proxy execution of malicious code, potentially for defense evasion or UAC bypass, by loading malicious INF files or scriptlets from remote servers.

This rule detects outbound network connections to destination ports 8080 or 8888 that are not within common local IP ranges or initiated by programs in standard system directories. This aims to identify potentially malicious command and control (C2) activity or data exfiltration using non-standard ports.

This rule detects outbound network connections initiated by the Windows Script Host interpreters, wscript.exe or cscript.exe, to non-local IP addresses. This behavior is often indicative of adversaries using scripts to download additional malicious payloads or establish command and control. The rule filters out connections to common private and loopback IP ranges to reduce false positives.
