Search Engine Filetype Dorking for Sensitive Files
This rule detects attempts to use search engine filetype dorking techniques to discover sensitive files. It specifically looks for HTTP requests containing the string "filetype:" in the URI, which is a common operator used in search engines to filter results by file extension. This activity is often associated with reconnaissance efforts by attackers to find publicly exposed documents, spreadsheets, or other files that might contain sensitive information.
