This rule detects process command lines that indicate an attempt to execute a one-line install command from a GitHub raw content URL, often associated with untrusted or malicious projects. It specifically looks for common command-line tools used for downloading and executing scripts (like iex, Invoke-WebRequest, curl, wget, msiexec, Start-Process) in conjunction with keywords suggesting fake software or plugins (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, AutoTune, Kontakt, plugin, installer).
