This rule detects the execution of specific commands associated with the installation of the Triple Cross eBPF rootkit. It looks for commands executed via 'sudo' that contain specific 'tc' (traffic control) parameters, including 'qdisc' and 'filter', along with a network interface like 'enp0s3'. These command line arguments are characteristic of the 'deployer.sh' script used by the Triple Cross rootkit to establish persistence and hide its presence using eBPF.

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.

Detects cases where ngrok, a legitimate reverse proxy tool, is used to forward traffic to the local Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) port. This activity can indicate malicious behavior, as adversaries often use tools like ngrok for command and control, bypassing firewalls, or establishing persistent remote access to compromised systems.

This rule detects the execution of 'plink.exe' with command-line arguments indicative of RDP tunneling. Specifically, it looks for 'plink.exe' combined with ':127.0.0.1:3389' or ':3389' along with '-P 443' or '-P 22'. This activity suggests an adversary is using Plink to establish a tunnel, potentially to exfiltrate data or maintain covert access to a remote desktop session.

This rule detects the potential use of an SSH utility to establish Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over a reverse SSH Tunnel. Attackers commonly use this technique to enable routing of network packets that would otherwise not reach their intended destination, bypassing network segmentation or firewalls. The detection logic looks for command-line arguments containing the RDP port ':3389' in conjunction with common SSH tunneling switches such as '-L', '-P', '-R', '-pw', or '-ssh'.
