This rule identifies instances of PowerShell executing with an encoded command followed immediately (within 300 seconds) by an outbound network connection to a non-standard port or non-internal IP address. This behavior is indicative of a remote access tool or reverse shell establishing command and control (C2) communication.

Detects when 'Cursor.exe' (a legitimate application) spawns common command-line utilities (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, pwsh.exe, curl.exe, wget.exe, certutil.exe, bitsadmin.exe) with command-line arguments indicative of downloading files from the internet (e.g., containing 'http://', 'https://', 'ftp://', '-o', '-OutFile', 'iwr', 'DownloadString', 'DownloadFile'). This could indicate malicious activity where 'Cursor.exe' is being abused to facilitate ingress tool transfer or execute malicious payloads.

This rule detects a high volume of outbound network connections (20 or more within an hour) from a single device and process to non-RFC1918 IP addresses on ports commonly associated with Remote Access Trojans (RATs) or Command and Control (C2) communication. The ports monitored include 443, 8443, 8080, 80, 4444, 5555, 6666, and 7777. This pattern can indicate a compromised host attempting to establish C2 with an external adversary.

Detects outbound network connections initiated by ConfigurationRemotingServer.exe to non-internal IP addresses. This process name is often associated with Windows administrative or configuration tools, and unexpected external network communication could indicate unauthorized activity, potential persistence, or command and control (C2) behavior.

Detects the use of a masquerading binary named 'uptime' for persistence or malicious activity on Linux systems. This rule monitors for unauthorized 'uptime' process activity such as network connections, spawning of shell/interpreter processes, creation of systemd service unit files, and manipulation via systemctl, as well as execution from non-standard directories.

Detects the use of Gsocket or gs-netcat utilities for outbound network connections on non-standard ports, as well as the execution of masqueraded 'uptime' binaries making network connections. It also monitors for DNS resolutions associated with Gsocket relay infrastructure to identify potential command and control or unauthorized tunneling attempts.

This rule detects web browser processes (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Electron) making network requests to 'raw.githubusercontent.com' that contain keywords indicative of sensitive data, such as 'credential', 'secret', 'password', 'token', 'api_key', or '.env'. This behavior may indicate an adversary attempting to download configuration files or sensitive credentials hosted on GitHub.

Detects network connection attempts or successes from critical Windows processes (System, svchost.exe, lsass.exe) targeting the localhost interface (127.0.0.1 or ::1) on non-standard ports (above 1024, excluding SMB ports 445/139). This behavior is often indicative of local process injection, credential dumping activity, or unauthorized inter-process communication used by malware to bypass network security controls.

Detects the execution of a Nuitka-compiled Python RAT (chost.exe) associated with the PostCSS typosquatting campaign. The rule identifies this malicious binary when spawned by wscript.exe, powershell.exe, or node.exe from a location outside of C:\Windows\, followed by network communication to known campaign-associated C2 infrastructure.

This rule detects instances where Microsoft Excel (excel.exe) initiates an external network connection within 60 seconds of process startup. This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious macros or embedded objects designed to reach out to attacker-controlled infrastructure for downloading secondary payloads or establishing command-and-control (C2) communication.

Detects network communication with the Rokarolla trojan's command and control (C2) server ('beralisvc.info') and subsequent injection of base64-encoded HTML phishing overlays into legitimate banking application UIs. The rule identifies C2 contact via network events and the presence of specific HTML content indicators ('html_base64', 'PCFEt0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+', 'com.imaginbank.app') in HTTP responses, suggesting an overlay attack.

This rule detects network connections on TCP ports 7000, 7001, 8770, and 5353 (commonly associated with Apple services like AirPlay, AirPrint, and Bonjour) initiated by processes other than standard Apple binaries such as iTunes, AppleMobileDeviceService, Bonjour, or mDNSResponder. This behavior may indicate an attempt to blend into expected network traffic by masquerading as legitimate Apple service communication.

This rule detects processes making a high volume of successful network connections to GitHub's raw content (raw.github.com). This behavior can be indicative of an adversary downloading tools, scripts, or other malicious content from GitHub, potentially as part of a command and control (C2) channel or for staging purposes. The rule counts connections per hour per initiating process filename and flags if the count exceeds 5.

Detects a non-cloud client process issuing API-style requests associated with object listing, content upload, or content download to a cloud storage service. The rule specifically targets processes with names matching patterns like 'bird', 'rok', 'game', or 'update' followed by '.exe', and command lines containing API-related keywords ('files/list', 'files/upload', 'files/download', 'oauth', 'bearer', 'api') in conjunction with cloud storage service names ('dropbox', 'pcloud', 'cloud'). This behavior is indicative of malware using legitimate cloud services for command and control or data exfiltration.
