Detects core NetScaler service processes (nsppe, httpd, aslearning) initiating outbound network connections to external, non-private IP addresses. This behavior is indicative of post-exploitation C2 beaconing activity on a compromised NetScaler appliance.

This rule detects potential DNS tunneling or beaconing activity by monitoring DNS queries for patterns commonly associated with command and control traffic. It flags anomalous DNS behavior including excessively long query strings, usage of TXT or NULL record types, frequent NXDOMAIN responses, or high volumes of such queries from a single host, which are indicative of data exfiltration or C2 communication via the DNS protocol.

Detects repeated crashes or restarts of the Citrix NetScaler packet engine (nsppe) correlated with a concurrent spike in inbound DTLS traffic. This pattern is indicative of potential memory-overflow exploitation attempts (consistent with CVE-2026-88772) targeting the VPN virtual server functionality, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

Detects HTTP proxy traffic containing specific header or cookie patterns associated with the Evilginx2 or BigBear adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing frameworks. These frameworks use these artifacts to proxy connections and facilitate the theft of session tokens for MFA bypass.

Detects DNS lookups and outbound network connections to known command and control (C2) and staging domains associated with the STAC4924 campaign. The rule performs strict matching on domain names to ensure that subdomains are identified while avoiding false positives from partial string matches within URLs.

405
Detects network connection attempts by known AI agent or development-related runtime processes (python, node, etc.) to external endpoints that are not contained within a defined allowlist of LLM and infrastructure providers. This is intended to identify potential data exfiltration or unauthorized command and control communication originating from LLM-powered applications.

406
Detects anomalous web request patterns against Citrix NetScaler ADC or Gateway devices, characterized by excessively long URLs or request contexts combined with high-frequency parameter variation from a single source. This behavior is indicative of potential fuzzing or exploit attempts targeting web application vulnerabilities, specifically input validation flaws in edge infrastructure.

Detects DNS resolution attempts for newly registered or suspicious top-level domains (e.g., .xyz, .top, .live) that mimic corporate Identity Provider (IdP) or Single Sign-On (SSO) login portals. This behavior is characteristic of Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing kits like EvilProxy or Tycoon2FA, intended to capture user session tokens. Note: This rule monitors for initial domain contact and should be correlated with subsequent authentication logs to identify potential session hijacking.

This rule detects a high frequency of SMB (port 445) connection attempts from a single internal source host to a large number of distinct internal destination hosts within a short timespan. This activity is indicative of internal network scanning, host discovery, or automated lateral movement attempts using SMB.

Broad triage/hunting rule to surface all requests to the j_security_check authentication endpoint on Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, in support of investigating CVE-2026-76504 (unauthenticated admin auth-bypass zero-day). Cisco advises reviewing serviceproxy-access.log and vmanage-server.log for requests to this endpoint from unknown or unauthorized source IPs. This rule matches ANY request to the endpoint and is NOT itself evidence of compromise -- every match requires manual review of source IP legitimacy against known/authorized administrative addresses.

2010
Detects anomalous lateral movement behavior where a successful NetScaler VPN or gateway session is followed immediately by internal remote service logons (RDP, SSH, WinRM) or network connections from the same source IP. This pattern is indicative of potential exploitation of Citrix NetScaler vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2026-88771, CVE-2026-88772) or credential abuse to move laterally into the internal environment.

Detects unauthorized access, reading, or downloading of sensitive NetScaler system files, including configuration files (ns.conf), licensing files, and cryptographic material (private keys/certificates). This activity often indicates post-exploitation reconnaissance, staging, or data theft attempts following initial access.

This rule performs a point-in-time IOC hunt within CommonSecurityLog data to detect indicators associated with NeedyMantis. It monitors for specific C2 infrastructure domains ('tripswithengine.com') and a hardcoded user-agent string ('Firefox/21.0') in proxy, firewall, or network logs, which are characteristic of this threat actor's activity.

The following analytic detects file transfers flagged as malware that occurred over non-standard ports (other than 80 and 443). Adversaries may attempt to bypass protocol-based detection or use alternate ports to blend in with other traffic. This analytic identifies these non-conventional flows and surfaces potential evasion techniques. If confirmed malicious this indicate potential malware delivery or other nefarious activity.
