Snip3 is a family of related remote access trojans. Although the malware in this family contain numerous small variations, they all exhibit similar behaviors and techniques.
The following query looks for network connections using any protocols associated with recent RevengeRAT, AsyncRAT, and other malware campaigns targeting the aviation industry.
This activity is often followed by connections to copy-and-paste sites such as pastebin.com, stikked.ch, academia.edu, and archive.org. Many of these connections will occur on non-standard ports.

The analytic detects potential reverse shell activity by identifying connections involving ports commonly associated with remote access tools, shell listeners, or tunneling utilities. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs and monitors destination ports against a list of non-standard, high-risk port values often used in post-exploitation scenarios. Adversaries frequently configure tools like netcat, Meterpreter, or other backdoors to listen or connect over uncommon ports such as 4444, 2222, or 51820 to bypass standard monitoring and firewall rules. If confirmed malicious, this activity may represent command and control (C2) tunneling, lateral movement, or unauthorized remote access.

This analytic detects file transfers flagged as malware that occurred over non-standard ports (other than 80 and 443) from Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs. Adversaries may attempt to bypass protocol-based detection or use alternate ports to blend in with other traffic. This analytic identifies these non-conventional flows and surfaces potential evasion techniques. If confirmed malicious, this indicates potential malware delivery or other nefarious activity.

Detects programs that connect to known malware callback ports based on threat intelligence reports. This rule specifically targets Linux systems and filters out connections to common local IP ranges to reduce false positives.

This rule detects the usage of the PowerShell cmdlet `Test-NetConnection` to probe network connectivity to a specified computer name and port, specifically looking for connections to ports other than the commonly used 80 or 443. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to establish or test communication channels over non-standard ports, potentially to bypass network defenses or obscure command and control activities.

Detects programs that connect to known malware callback ports based on statistical analysis from two different sandbox system databases. This rule identifies outbound network connections to a specific list of destination ports that have been historically associated with malware command and control (C2) communications. It filters out connections to local IP ranges and common system directories to reduce false positives.

This rule detects outbound network connections to destination ports 8080 or 8888 that are not within common local IP ranges or initiated by programs in standard system directories. This aims to identify potentially malicious command and control (C2) activity or data exfiltration using non-standard ports.

The DNS Z flag is bit within the DNS protocol header that is, per the IETF design, meant to be used reserved (unused).
Although recently it has been used in DNSSec, the value being set to anything other than 0 should be rare.
Otherwise if it is set to non 0 and DNSSec is being used, then excluding the legitimate domains is low effort and high reward.
Determine if multiple of these files were accessed in a short period of time to further enhance the possibility of seeing if this was a one off or the possibility of larger sensitive file gathering.
