Detects the use of the built-in Windows utility bitsadmin.exe to download files. This utility is often abused by adversaries for ingress tool transfer, as it can bypass certain network restrictions and is a living-off-the-land binary (LOLBIN). The rule specifically looks for the execution of bitsadmin.exe with command-line arguments indicative of file transfer operations, such as '/transfer', '/create', '/addfile', and the presence of 'http' to signify a URL download.

This rule detects an unusual process creation event where 'rundll32.exe' spawns 'explorer.exe' as a child process. This behavior is uncommon and has been observed in malware such as Gamarue, which uses this method to launch 'explorer.exe' in an atypical manner. The rule specifically filters out legitimate instances where 'rundll32.exe' might launch 'explorer.exe' via 'shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL', aiming to reduce false positives.

An adversary may place a network interface into promiscuous mode to passively access data in transit over the network, or use span ports to capture a larger amount of data.
