5,879 detections

Detects when a Network Attached Storage (NAS) or Internet of Things (IoT) device establishes multiple or high-volume outbound SSH/SFTP connections to an external IP address. This behavior can indicate that the device has been compromised and is being used as an 'Operational Relay Box' (ORB) to proxy malicious traffic, mask C2 communications, or exfiltrate data.

The query, as constructed, is primarily focused on detecting large outbound traffic volumes to external destinations on a per source-destination pair basis within daily aggregations. Adjust the threshold and aggregation criteria based on your specific security requirements and typical network behavior patterns.

This rule detects when popular Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools initiate network connections to public IP addresses. This behavior can be indicative of legitimate administrative tasks, but also of malicious activity where adversaries use these tools for remote access and control within a compromised environment. The rule specifically filters out connections to private IP ranges to reduce false positives related to internal network communication.

This rule detects outbound network connections to command and control (C2) domains and identifies files by name or hash associated with malicious PDF editor campaigns (e.g., ConvertMate, PDFClick, PDFSkills). These campaigns use malicious PDF editors for C2 communication, to download additional payloads, and for initial execution.

Detects outbound network traffic to legitimate cloud storage domains (filen.io, icedrive.net, koofr.net) known to be abused by APT28 for Command and Control (C2) and data exfiltration as part of Operation Phantom Net Voxel.

Detects UserAccountBroker.exe being spawned by explorer.exe, which is an unusual parent-child relationship. The rule is enriched by looking for subsequent outbound network connections from the UserAccountBroker.exe process, a behavior observed in ValleyRAT infections.

This alert generates a log when a device onboarded is seen connecting to a known malicious domain within the ThreatIntelIndicators table. The TimeGenerated field should not be changed as the table refreshes every ~10 days.

Detects the suspicious spawning of UserAccountBroker.exe by explorer.exe, which is then observed making an outbound network connection. This behavior is characteristic of a watchdog mechanism used by the ValleyRAT malware to maintain persistence and C2 communication.

This rule detects large volumes of outbound network traffic originating from Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters to external destinations over non-standard ports. It specifically looks for traffic allowed by Palo Alto firewalls, excluding common ports like 80 and 443, and flags transfers exceeding a defined data threshold (e.g., 100MB). This behavior can indicate data exfiltration attempts where adversaries use alternative protocols to bypass standard monitoring.

Detects Microsoft Office applications establishing outbound network connections to non-private, non-Microsoft IP addresses. This behavior can be indicative of exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-21509, where an embedded OLE object or malicious macro attempts to download a payload or beacon out.

Detects the use of curl.exe to upload files to the temp.sh service while simultaneously passing the resulting temp.sh URL within the User-Agent string to a C2 server. This specific exfiltration and beaconing TTP was observed in the Notepad++ supply chain attack.

Detects a behavioral sequence where an AI agent runtime (e.g., Node.js, Python) spawns a shell to execute a web request utility like curl or wget. This pattern is a strong indicator of automated data exfiltration, often resulting from a successful prompt injection attack that instructs the agent to steal and send data to an attacker-controlled server.

This rule identifies network activity that could be indicative of command and control (C2) communication or reconnaissance. It specifically looks for two patterns: DNS queries to 'api.ipify.org', which is a service used to determine the public IP address, or outbound network connections on port 7712 to external IP addresses (excluding common private IP ranges). Both of these activities, especially when combined, can be associated with malicious software like the MonsterV2 C2 framework, which might use such methods for initial reconnaissance or C2 communication.

Detects when an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) worker node initiates an outbound connection to a public IP address over a non-standard or unexpected port. This could indicate data exfiltration using custom tools or protocols.
