This rule detects HTTP traffic where the URI contains both "firmware" and "update" (case-insensitive) and the HTTP host is an IP address. This combination suggests a firmware update request originating from or destined for an unverified source, potentially indicating a malicious or unauthorized firmware update attempt.
This rule detects TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) traffic on UDP port 69, specifically looking for a content pattern that indicates a firmware push. The pattern '|00 02|' at the beginning of the UDP payload suggests a TFTP write request (opcode 2), which is commonly used for uploading files, including firmware, to network devices. The rule is designed to alert on such activity directed towards the local network ($HOME_NET).
KQL Query
'The query looks for source code files being modified immediately after a build process is started. The purpose of this is to look for malicious code injection during the build process.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Solorigate supply chain attack. Please note that these attacks are currently known as the Nobelium campaign.
Microsoft detects the 2020 SolarWinds supply chain attack implant and its other components as part of a campaign by the Nobelium activity group. Nobelium is the threat actor behind the attack against SolarWinds, which was previously referred to as Solorigate.
Nobelium silently added malicious code to legitimate software updates for Orion, which is IT monitoring software provided by SolarWinds. In this way, malicious dynamic link libraries (DLLs) were distributed to SolarWinds customers.
The following query locates malicious Nobelium-associated DLLs that have been loaded into memory on affected systems.
More Nobelium-related queries can be found listed under the See also section of this document.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, ShadowHammer supply chain attack
Operation ShadowHammer was an attack against ASUS computer hardware, using the company's own update infrastructure to deliver malware to the company's products. The campaign ran from June to November, 2018. ASUS has since responded with updates that protect their Live Update system, and diagnostic tools to check affected systems.
The following query checks for activity associated with the ShadowHammer implant or container over the past 30 days.
