Detects a potential command and control (C2) dead-drop sequence where a non-browser process fetches raw content from Pastebin and subsequently contacts a specific C2 domain within the same process context.

Detects the Blinder Tunnel C2 loop. The loader beacons about every 63 seconds to the GitHub Contents API (profile upload, one-time license read). The newer variant can instead go through a Cloudflare Workers relay that mirrors the GitHub API paths. Both platforms are legitimate, so the signal is the client: the implant install directory, a non-System32 RuntimeBroker.exe, or any binary under AppData\Local\Microsoft\, none of which are real GitHub clients. Known implant hosts and the known relay alert on a single hit. The lookalike-path arm needs 10 or more connections per hour (a 63-second loop produces 100+), which suppresses incidental noise. Depends on RemoteUrl being populated for TLS connections.

Detects suspicious processes such as PowerShell, Python, or scripting hosts performing network communication with major AI/LLM provider APIs, followed immediately by child process execution or related activity. This pattern is indicative of LLM-assisted automation for malicious activities, potentially using AI to generate code, scripts, or orchestrate command and control actions.

Detects two-stage communication pattern used by the Lorem Ipsum Loader. The first stage involves a GET request to a specific host acting as a dead-drop resolver to retrieve configuration. The second stage involves a POST request to an external destination containing a JPEG file header, characteristic of image-based C2 traffic.

Detects network activity associated with the 'VPN-for-X' browser extension, specifically targeting communication with external services used for proxy configuration fetching and dead-drop proxy list retrieval. This includes TLS SNI checks for GitHub, Blogspot, and Telegram, as well as specific URI requests for proxy configurations and server lists.
