File Transfer or Remote Access Protocol on Non-Standard Port

This rule detects the use of common file transfer and remote access protocols (SSH, FTP, SMB, TELNET, FTPS, SMB.v3) communicating over non-standard ports. Adversaries often use non-standard ports to bypass firewall rules, evade detection, or obscure their command and control (C2) traffic. The rule specifically excludes the standard ports for these protocols to focus on anomalous behavior.
