This rule detects the delivery of a malicious DLL (Dynamic Link Library) file via HTTP download. It specifically looks for HTTP responses (flow:to_client) containing a URI with ".dll" (case-insensitive) and the "MZ" magic bytes at the beginning of the file data, indicating an executable file. This combination suggests a DLL being downloaded to a client system, which could be part of a malware delivery chain.
This rule detects when a file containing both ".plist" in its HTTP URI and "LaunchDaemon" in its content is delivered via HTTP. This combination suggests the download of a macOS LaunchDaemon property list file, which could be used for persistence or privilege escalation on macOS systems.
This rule detects the download of a potential trojanized installer file over HTTP. It looks for HTTP responses to clients that contain 'setup', 'install', or 'installer' in the URI, have a file size greater than 500KB, and contain the 'MZ' header, indicating a Windows executable. This combination suggests a user is downloading an executable that could be malicious.
This rule detects the download of archive files (ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR.GZ) over HTTP that contain an executable file signature ('MZ' header). This combination suggests a potential user execution scenario where a malicious executable might be delivered within an archive.
This rule detects attempts to download typosquatted NPM packages from registry.npmjs.org. It specifically looks for HTTP requests to the NPM registry where the URI contains common typos of popular packages like 'lodash', 'requests', 'express', 'mongoose', and 'momentjs'. This indicates a potential supply chain attack where developers might accidentally download malicious packages due to a typo.
Detects curl.exe being used to fetch content from Telegram channels and saving it to the AppData\Local\Temp directory, indicative of Gamaredon Dead Drop Resolver (DDR) resolution.
Detects suspicious file downloads from the internet where common DLLs (wininet.dll, urlmon.dll, msxml3.dll) are initiating the file creation of executable, DLL, PowerShell, or batch files. The rule specifically looks for scenarios where 5 or more such files are created by the same initiating process on a device, indicating potential malicious activity like ingress tool transfer.
This rule detects an abnormal volume of large file downloads or exports from cloud applications, excluding SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. It identifies instances where a single account downloads or exports more than 3 files with an average size greater than 10 MB within an hour from a specific application and IP address. This behavior could indicate data exfiltration or unauthorized data access.
Detects the execution of mshta.exe with command-line arguments indicating an attempt to download a .7z file over HTTP or HTTPS. This behavior is often associated with malware delivery and execution.
This rule detects a drive-by download attempt initiated via a malicious advertisement. It specifically looks for HTTP responses to clients where the HTTP referer header contains common advertisement-related keywords (ad., ads., advert) and the response body contains the 'MZ' magic bytes, indicating an executable file download. This combination suggests a user was redirected from an advertisement to a site that then attempted to download an executable.
This rule detects the download of common Remote Access Tools (RATs) such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, UltraViewer, RustDesk, and Zoho Assist. It specifically looks for these keywords in the HTTP URI during client-to-server HTTP traffic. The rule is categorized as 'trojan-activity' and is intended to alert when a user might be downloading these tools, potentially after social engineering or phone contact, as suggested by the rule's message.
This rule detects the download of a COM scriptlet (.sct file) over HTTP that contains XML and the keyword 'scriptlet'. This behavior is characteristic of the 'Squiblydoo' technique, which abuses legitimate Windows binaries like Regsvr32 to execute arbitrary code, often for defense evasion.
This rule detects HTTP traffic where the User-Agent header contains the string 'CertUtil' (case-insensitive). This pattern is often associated with adversaries using the Windows built-in utility CertUtil to download malicious payloads, a common technique for defense evasion.
This rule detects HTTP downloads where the file is disguised as an image (e.g., .jpg, .png) but its content starts with 'MZ', indicating it's a Windows executable. This is a common technique used by adversaries to bypass security measures that might block executable downloads but allow image files.
This rule detects attempts to download a payload that contains an MSBuild inline task. It specifically looks for HTTP traffic (flow:to_client,established) containing the case-insensitive strings "<UsingTask" and "TaskFactory" within the file data. This pattern is indicative of an attacker attempting to leverage MSBuild's inline task functionality to execute arbitrary code, often as part of a larger attack chain for code execution or persistence.
This rule detects the download of files with names indicative of 'Potato' privilege escalation tools. It specifically looks for HTTP URI patterns containing 'potato' preceded by terms like 'sweet', 'juicy', 'rogue', 'bad', or 'print', case-insensitively. The detection is triggered on HTTP traffic flowing from the server to the client.
This rule detects a high volume of document downloads from SharePoint, specifically looking for repeated access to the `/_layouts/download.aspx` URI. A threshold of 30 downloads within 60 seconds from a single source IP address triggers the alert. This behavior could indicate an attempt to exfiltrate a large amount of data from SharePoint.
Bitsadmin Tool Transfer Download
Suricata
This rule detects the use of the 'bitsadmin' tool in HTTP user agent strings during a file transfer download. Bitsadmin is a legitimate Windows command-line tool used to create, manage, and monitor download and upload jobs, but it is frequently abused by adversaries for command and control, data transfer, and persistence.
This rule detects HTTP downloads of common script file types (PowerShell, VBScript, JavaScript, HTML Application, Batch, Command) from any source to the internal network. This activity is often associated with initial access or execution techniques where adversaries download malicious scripts to a compromised host.
This rule detects the delivery of a kernel driver enumeration tool via HTTP. Specifically, it looks for the string "EnumDeviceDrivers" (case-insensitive) within HTTP response data flowing to a client. This string is indicative of tools or malware attempting to enumerate loaded kernel drivers, which is a common reconnaissance technique used by attackers.
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.
