Trust Control Bypass Payload Delivered via HTTP

This rule detects the delivery of a payload designed to bypass trust controls via HTTP. It specifically looks for HTTP responses (flow:to_client) containing the 'MZ' magic bytes (indicating an executable file) within the first 2 bytes of the file data, combined with URI paths that include keywords like 'bypass', 'unsigned', or 'notrust'. This combination suggests an attempt to deliver malicious or untrusted executables that aim to circumvent security mechanisms.
