This rule detects attempts to access sensitive configuration or backup files on an IIS web server. It looks for requests where the URI stem contains keywords like '.env', 'config', or 'backup', which are commonly associated with files that may contain sensitive information.
Detects repeated 'git clone' or 'git fetch' commands executed on a system within a short timeframe. This activity could indicate an adversary attempting to exfiltrate data from a code repository or staging environment, or rapidly pull down multiple repositories.
This rule detects when a single process account creates 5 or more files containing 'database', 'db', or '.sql' in their filenames within a one-hour window. This could indicate an attempt to stage, exfiltrate, or manipulate database files.
Detects when a single account initiates a high volume of Office file (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) copy or move operations within a one-hour window. This could indicate data exfiltration or staging activities.
This rule detects potential data exfiltration attempts over non-standard network ports. It identifies devices that establish more than 5 network sessions to external (non-private IP) destinations on ports other than common ones like 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 21 (FTP), 22 (SSH), 25 (SMTP), 110 (POP3), 143 (IMAP), 993 (IMAPS), and 995 (POP3S) within a one-hour window. This behavior can indicate an adversary attempting to bypass network monitoring by using less common ports for data transfer.
Detects non-browser processes making DNS queries to the Telegram Bot API. This activity is indicative of malware using Telegram for Command and Control (C2) communications or data exfiltration, such as Amnesia RAT.
Detects the creation or modification of Power Automate flows that connect to external services commonly used for data exfiltration or command and control, such as webhooks, Gmail, Dropbox, Google Drive, Slack, RSS feeds, custom connectors, or generic HTTP requests/webhooks. This could indicate an adversary attempting to establish persistence or exfiltrate data from the Power Platform environment.
Detects unusually large HTTP POST requests which may indicate data exfiltration activity over web protocols. The rule specifically looks for HTTP POST methods and is designed for Suricata, a network intrusion detection system.
This rule detects a high volume of DNS TXT queries originating from the home network to any destination on port 53. This behavior is indicative of potential DNS exfiltration, where data is encoded and transmitted via DNS TXT records. The rule triggers an alert if 30 or more TXT queries are observed from a single source within a 60-second window.
This rule detects potential data exfiltration to Google Drive by monitoring HTTP POST requests to 'www.googleapis.com' with a data size greater than 5000 bytes. This pattern is indicative of large data uploads to Google's API services, which could be used for exfiltration.
Detects suspicious attempts to dump serialized GitHub Actions secrets (JSON) into a text file named 'format-results.txt' for subsequent artifact exfiltration, a technique used by IronWorm. The rule looks for shell commands that use 'echo' to write to 'format-results.txt' and contain references to 'VARIABLE_STORE' or 'secrets', indicating an attempt to exfiltrate sensitive CI/CD environment variables.
This rule detects unusual network beaconing activity from processes. It identifies processes that make more than 50 network connections within a 15-minute window to distinct remote IP addresses and ports, excluding common legitimate processes like svchost.exe, chrome.exe, msedge.exe, and explorer.exe. The rule then enriches this information with the last seen time of the process.
Detects network connections over common exfiltration ports (80, 443, 53) to external IP addresses originating from executables running out of uncommon, temporary, or public directories. This behavior frequently indicates custom or unrecognized malware binaries conducting data exfiltration or establishing Command and Control (C2) communication.
This rule detects high-volume data exfiltration attempts over common HTTPS ports (443 or 8443). It identifies network connections where more than 1MB of data is sent in a single connection, then aggregates these connections over one-hour intervals per device and remote IP. Finally, it flags any device that has sent a total of 50MB or more within that hour to a specific remote IP, indicating potential data exfiltration to a command and control server.
This rule detects an abnormal volume of large file downloads or exports from cloud applications, excluding SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. It identifies instances where a single account downloads or exports more than 3 files with an average size greater than 10 MB within an hour from a specific application and IP address. This behavior could indicate data exfiltration or unauthorized data access.
Detects unusually large HTTP POST requests which may indicate data exfiltration activity over web protocols. The rule specifically looks for HTTP POST methods and is designed for Suricata, a network intrusion detection system.
This rule detects unusually long DNS queries (40 characters or more) which can be indicative of DNS tunneling. DNS tunneling is a technique used by adversaries for command and control (C2) communication or data exfiltration, where data is encoded within DNS queries and responses to bypass network security controls.
This rule detects potential data exfiltration to Dropbox cloud storage. It specifically looks for HTTP POST requests to 'api.dropboxapi.com' with a data size greater than 5000 bytes, indicating a significant upload.
This rule detects large HTTP POST requests originating from the internal network ($HOME_NET) to any external destination. It specifically looks for HTTP POST methods and a data size greater than 10,000 bytes. A detection filter is applied to track by source IP, triggering an alert if 20 such large POST requests are observed within a 60-second window. This behavior is indicative of potential data exfiltration over command and control (C2) channels, as large amounts of data are being sent out of the network.
This rule detects potential data exfiltration attempts characterized by a high volume of small HTTP POST requests from a single source IP address within a short timeframe. Specifically, it looks for 50 or more HTTP POST requests within 60 seconds, where each request has a body size between 101 and 1999 bytes. This pattern is indicative of 'chunked exfiltration' (ATT&CK T1030), where an attacker breaks down data into smaller pieces to evade detection.
This rule detects HTTP PUT requests to onedrive.live.com with a body size greater than 5000 bytes. This behavior is indicative of data exfiltration to OneDrive cloud storage, aligning with MITRE ATT&CK technique T1567.
