High Idle Network Connections to Remote IP
This rule detects instances where a single remote IP address exhibits a high number of idle network events (more than 200 idle events) and a high total number of network events (more than 500 total events) within a one-minute interval. This pattern can be indicative of Command and Control (C2) communication, where an adversary establishes a connection and then waits for commands, or data exfiltration, where data is sent in bursts with idle periods in between. It highlights unusual network communication patterns that might suggest malicious activity.
