Plain HTTP POST Exfiltrated Data
The analytic detects potential data exfiltration using plain HTTP POST requests. It monitors network traffic logs, specifically the `stream_http` data source, for POST methods containing suspicious form data such as "wermgr.exe", "svchost.exe", "name=\"proclist\"", "ipconfig", "name=\"sysinfo\"", or "net view". This activity is commonly associated with malware like Trickbot, trojans, keyloggers, or APT adversaries, which use plain text HTTP POST requests to communicate with remote C2 servers. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized data exfiltration, compromising sensitive information and potentially leading to further network infiltration.
