Firewall Rule Update Via Netsh.EXE
This rule detects the execution of the 'netsh.exe' utility specifically when it is used to modify existing Windows Advanced Firewall rules. The detection logic looks for 'netsh.exe' being executed with the 'advfirewall' and 'set' options in the command line, indicating an attempt to change properties of an already defined firewall rule. This activity could be indicative of an adversary attempting to bypass network controls to facilitate C2 communications, lateral movement, or data exfiltration.
