This rule detects suspicious DNS queries specifically targeting 'api.telegram.org'. This domain is used by Telegram Bot API, which can be leveraged by various types of malware (e.g., RATs, ransomware) for command and control (C2) or data exfiltration. Monitoring these queries helps identify systems potentially communicating with malicious Telegram bots.

This rule detects PowerShell scripts that add a Name Resolution Policy Table (NRPT) rule. An NRPT rule can be used to bypass the default DNS server and force DNS queries for specific namespaces to a different, specified DNS server. This technique can be used by adversaries to redirect traffic, potentially for command and control, data exfiltration, or to evade network filtering.
