This rule detects instances where the 'winlogon.exe' process initiates outbound network connections to public IP addresses. Winlogon.exe is a critical Windows component responsible for user logon/logoff and the secure attention sequence. Typically, winlogon.exe should not be making outbound network connections to public IPs. Such activity could indicate compromise, potentially by malware like BlackLotus, which has been observed to leverage winlogon.exe for malicious purposes, including command and control or data exfiltration.

This rule detects the execution of the 'split' command, which is commonly used to break large files into smaller, more manageable pieces. Adversaries may use this technique to circumvent data transfer size limits during exfiltration or to prepare data for transfer through channels with size restrictions. The detection focuses on the command line execution of the 'split' utility.

This rule detects suspicious Windows file path strings (e.g., 'C:/Users', 'C:/Windows', 'C:/Program Files') within the URI query component of web requests. The presence of such strings in a URI could indicate an attempt to exfiltrate data from a Windows system or communicate with a webshell that is attempting to access local files or directories. The rule looks for both standard and URL-encoded variations of these paths.

This rule identifies activities related to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Packet Mirroring. Packet Mirroring allows capturing full network traffic, which can be abused by adversaries to intercept and collect sensitive data from unencrypted internal network communications. The rule specifically looks for various API calls related to the creation, modification, deletion, or listing of Packet Mirroring configurations.

Detects 'svchost.exe' spawning 'rundll32.exe' with command arguments indicating the use of 'davclnt.dll,DavSetCookie' and a remote IP address. This activity is suspicious as it can be an indicator of data exfiltration, execution of code hosted on a WebDAV server, or exploitation related to CVE-2023-23397, particularly for NTLM hash theft.

This rule detects various keywords associated with data transfer and staging activities on Cisco devices. These activities could indicate an adversary attempting to move data onto the device for further exfiltration or to move data off the device. The keywords include common protocols and commands like 'tftp', 'rcp', 'puts', 'copy', 'configure replace', and 'archive tar', which are often used for file transfers and configuration management on network devices.

This rule detects the installation of a TAP (Tunnel Adapter) driver, specifically looking for 'tap0901' in the service's ImagePath. TAP drivers are commonly used by VPN software like OpenVPN to create virtual network interfaces, which can be leveraged for tunneling and data exfiltration. The detection aims to identify potential preparation for data exfiltration using tunneling techniques.

Adversaries may steal data by exfiltrating it over an un-encrypted network protocol other than that of the existing command and control channel. The data may also be sent to an alternate network location from the main command and control server. This rule detects suspicious outbound SMTP connections by looking for connections to common SMTP ports (25, 587, 465, 2525) from processes that are not common mail client applications like Thunderbird or Outlook, or Microsoft Exchange Server processes.
