Source Code Payload Delivered for Compile After Delivery
This rule detects the delivery of source code files (C, C++, C#, Java, Go, Rust) over HTTP to a client, specifically looking for content that includes 'main(' within the file data. This pattern suggests that a source code payload intended for compilation after delivery is being transferred, which could be indicative of malicious activity such as a staged attack where the attacker compiles and executes code on the victim's machine.
