ZiChatBot Uses Separate Zulip Topics for Profiling and Tasking
Detects a single host making Zulip REST API POST requests to multiple distinct topics, specifically looking for patterns associated with system profiling and command/tasking as observed in ZiChatBot. The rule identifies activity where a source IP uses the Zulip API to send messages to at least two different topics, with the raw request content indicating either 'channel/stream' and 'topic/subject' or keywords like 'system info', 'shellcode', 'task', or 'command'.
