This rule detects direct access to raw content hosted on various paste services. Adversaries often use these services to host malicious code (e.g., encrypted or encoded payloads) that is downloaded in subsequent stages of an attack, leveraging the services for command and control or defense evasion.

Detects HTTP requests with an empty user agent string in proxy logs. This can indicate an uncommon or potentially malicious request method, as legitimate browsers and many applications typically send a user agent. PowerShell's `(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString` is one example of a tool that might generate such a request.

Detects instances where the svchost.exe process, specifically hosting the RDP terminal services, initiates outbound network connections to target systems on standard HTTP (TCP port 80) or HTTPS (TCP port 443) ports. This behavior is indicative of RDP tunneling, where RDP traffic is encapsulated within web protocols to bypass network restrictions or evade detection.

This rule detects suspicious network requests to the Telegram API (api.telegram.org) that do not include a standard 'Telegram' or 'Bot' user-agent string. This behavior is often indicative of malware or custom tools attempting to use Telegram's API for command and control or data exfiltration without revealing their identity as a legitimate Telegram client or bot.

This rule detects HTTP requests where the User-Agent header contains ' WindowsPowerShell/'. This pattern is indicative of PowerShell making web requests, potentially for downloading files, interacting with web services, or command and control activities. This can be a legitimate administrative activity but is also frequently abused by adversaries.

This rule detects suspicious Windows file path strings (e.g., 'C:/Users', 'C:/Windows', 'C:/Program Files') within the URI query component of web requests. The presence of such strings in a URI could indicate an attempt to exfiltrate data from a Windows system or communicate with a webshell that is attempting to access local files or directories. The rule looks for both standard and URL-encoded variations of these paths.

Detects a specific URL pattern containing a specific extension and parameters pointing to an IP address. This pattern was seen being used by RomCOM potentially exploiting CVE-2023-36884. The rule looks for GET requests where the URI contains a file extension like .zip, .asp, .htm, .url, .xml, .chm, .mht, .vbs, or .search-ms, followed by '?d=' and an IPv4 address.
