Detects the creation of temporary files by the ScreenConnect remote monitoring and management (RMM) tool in a specific user document directory. This behavior is associated with ScreenConnect's feature to remotely execute binaries on a target machine, where these binaries are first dropped to the specified temporary location before execution.

Detects when the CertOC.exe utility is used to download a file from an IP address-based URL. This behavior is suspicious as CertOC.exe is a legitimate Windows binary that can be abused for ingress tool transfer, and downloading from an IP address directly often bypasses DNS-based security controls and can indicate malicious activity.

This rule detects the use of 'curl.exe' to download files from an IP address directly specified in the command line. It specifically looks for curl.exe execution, a command line containing an IP address pattern, the 'http' protocol, and common download flags such as '-O', '--remote-name', or '--output'. This activity is often associated with adversaries transferring tools or malware onto a compromised system.

This YARA rule detects the NoodRAT backdoor by identifying specific byte sequences (patterns) associated with its core functionalities. These functionalities include changing the system name, decrypting configuration data, encrypting and sending data, and receiving and decrypting data. The rule specifically targets Linux ELF executables, indicated by the magic byte `0x464C457F` at offset 0.

This YARA rule detects the Daolpu infostealer by identifying specific byte patterns related to its core functionalities. These functionalities include network communication, searching for sensitive files on the system, parsing Firefox configuration files, and collecting browser passwords and cookies. The rule requires all these distinct patterns to be present within a file to trigger a detection, aiming to reduce false positives.

This rule detects suspicious DNS queries that are characteristic of Cobalt Strike beacons. Specifically, it looks for DNS queries starting with 'aaa.stage.' or 'post.1', or containing '.stage.123456.'. These patterns are known indicators of Cobalt Strike's DNS command and control (C2) communication.

Detects suspicious and malformed user agent strings in proxy logs that may indicate malicious activity, including the use of specific malware or tools like Cobalt Strike, APT28 malware, Racoon Stealer, and Erbium stealer. The rule identifies various anomalies such as incorrect formatting, typos, and specific user agent strings known to be associated with adversary tools.

This rule detects suspicious DNS queries where the Z flag bit in the DNS protocol header is set to a non-zero value. The Z flag is reserved (unused) per IETF design, though it has recently been used in DNSSec. A non-zero Z flag value should be rare outside of legitimate DNSSec usage. The rule includes exclusions for common TLDs, query types (NS, MX), responses, and NetBIOS related traffic to reduce false positives. The rule's intent is to identify potential command and control (C2) or data exfiltration attempts leveraging DNS anomalies.

This rule detects suspicious user agent strings commonly associated with various Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups and malware families. It specifically targets patterns found in proxy logs, indicating potential command and control (C2) communications or other malicious web activity. The rule includes a broad list of user agent strings linked to specific APTs like Backspace, GrizzlySteppe, Comment Crew, Naikon, Sofacy (Xtunnel, Zebrocy), Derusbi, Winnti, APT17, Bronze Butler (Daserf), TSCookie, Delphi downloader, VPNFilter, FELIXROOT, RMS, Cmstar, KerrDown, APT33 (PowerTon), Hidden Cobra, Strong Pity, Mustang Panda, BackdoorDiplomacy, SideWalk, LitePower (WRITE), ZINC, PlugX, and RedCurl.

This rule detects the execution of well-known DNS exfiltration and tunneling tools, specifically 'iodine.exe' and 'dnscat2'. These tools are commonly used by adversaries to establish covert communication channels over DNS, allowing for data exfiltration and command and control activities that might bypass traditional network defenses.

Detects the usage of specific LDAP attributes ('primaryInternationalISDNNumber', 'otherFacsimileTelephoneNumber', 'primaryTelexNumber') that are known to be used by the LDAPFragger tool for data exchange via LDAP. These attributes are generally not commonly used in enterprise environments, making their appearance suspicious and indicative of potential Command and Control activity.
