High Volume Network Connections to Remote IP
This rule identifies an anomalous surge in network connection attempts to a particular remote IP address. It establishes a baseline of average daily connection counts to each remote IP over the past week. It then compares the current hourly connection count to this baseline, triggering an alert if the current count is more than five times the baseline and surpasses a total of 500 connections within that hour. This could indicate various malicious activities such as data exfiltration, command and control communication, or a denial-of-service attack originating from the monitored environment.
