Detects remote attempts to stop sensitive security, database, and system services using the SMB SVCCTL (Service Control Manager) interface. This is often associated with adversary attempts to disable defensive tools or prepare for destructive operations.
This rule detects suspicious SMB traffic targeting raw disk volumes (e.g., PhysicalDrive, C:) or sensitive Windows files such as NTDS.dit and SYSTEM hive files. This behavior is indicative of credential dumping attempts, often performed using tools like secretsdump.py or Invoke-NinjaCopy, which bypass standard file system access controls to exfiltrate critical system credentials.
This rule detects the use of the 'msiexec.exe' utility to fetch and potentially execute an '.msi' installer package directly from a remote source via HTTP. This behavior is a known technique for bypassing application control by abusing a signed system binary to download and install malicious packages.
Detects remote system shutdown attempts initiated via the MSRPC winreg named pipe over SMB. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to shut down or reboot a target system remotely to interrupt availability, often as a prelude to or consequence of destructive actions.
This rule detects rapid, successive TCP connection attempts directed to port 3389 (RDP) from a single external source IP within a short timeframe. This behavior is indicative of a brute force attack or automated credential guessing activity targeting remote desktop services.
This rule detects outgoing TCP traffic that initiates a SOCKS5 handshake (indicated by the byte sequence |05 01 00|) on destination ports other than standard web ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443). This behavior is characteristic of TOR client traffic attempting to establish an anonymous connection to an external TOR relay or node via non-standard network ports.
Detects high-frequency ICMP Echo Requests (Type 8) directed from internal networks to external destinations with oversized payloads (greater than 200 bytes). This pattern is indicative of ICMP tunneling, which is often used by adversaries for covert command-and-control (C2) communications or data exfiltration, bypassing standard filtering or monitoring.
Detects HTTP traffic containing a specific session cookie pattern characteristic of PowerShell Empire C2 agent communication, utilizing regex to identify base64-encoded session identifiers.
Detects outbound FTP STOR (Store) commands directed to external networks. This indicates that a host inside the local network is attempting to upload data to an external server. The rule uses a threshold to filter out isolated commands, triggering when 3 or more STOR commands are detected within 120 seconds, which is characteristic of data exfiltration or staging behavior.
This rule detects potential DNS exfiltration attempts by identifying DNS queries containing high-entropy subdomains of 51 characters or more, encoded in Base64. Adversaries may use long, encoded subdomains to tunnel data out of a network through the DNS protocol, bypassing traditional security controls.
Detects high-frequency DNS query patterns characterized by long, potentially encoded, subdomain labels (exceeding 40 characters) that are indicative of DNS-based command and control (C2) beaconing activity.
Detects outbound HTTP POST requests to external networks that match a known Emotet C2 traffic pattern. The rule specifically looks for HTTP POST requests using an 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' Content-Type and a URI structure consisting of randomized alphanumeric segments (4-20 characters long). This structure is characteristic of Emotet's communication with its command-and-control infrastructure.
Detects the use of the HTTP CONNECT method on non-standard ports (8888, 9999, 4444). The CONNECT method is frequently used by HTTP proxies to establish TCP tunnels; unauthorized use of this method on uncommon ports is a common indicator of protocol tunneling used to bypass network egress filtering or for command and control (C2) communication.
This rule monitors incoming HTTP requests for classic SQL injection patterns, such as UNION SELECT, SLEEP, BENCHMARK, and various SQL commands like DROP or ALTER. These signatures are commonly associated with attempts to gain unauthorized access to database contents, exfiltrate data, or compromise the database integrity via web applications.
This rule detects multiple Network Level Authentication (NLA) negotiation attempts targeting port 3389 from a single source within a 60-second window, which is indicative of an RDP brute-force attack.
Detects incoming HTTP traffic attempting to exploit the Apache Struts2 vulnerability CVE-2017-5638. The rule monitors the Content-Type HTTP header for OGNL (Object-Graph Navigation Language) expressions containing known exploitation markers like ClassLoader, getRuntime, or .exec(), which indicate an attempt to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Detects common SQL injection attack patterns within HTTP URI or POST body traffic, such as UNION SELECT, tautologies (e.g., OR 1=1), schema enumeration, and database functions like benchmark or sleep.
This rule detects potential command and control (C2) activity leveraging DNS tunneling. It identifies high-frequency DNS queries that contain unusually long subdomain labels (51 characters or more), which is a common technique used to encode data or commands within DNS protocol traffic to bypass network security controls.
Detects HTTP beaconing activity indicative of Cobalt Strike Malleable C2 communication. The rule monitors for specific URI patterns ('/updates', '/pixel', '/submit.php') in combination with a default User-Agent string commonly used by Cobalt Strike malleable profiles.
Detects multiple SSH authentication attempts from a single source IP address within a short timeframe, which is indicative of a brute force or password guessing attack against SSH services.
Detects outbound HTTPS traffic on high ports where the TLS SNI header consists of a 8-20 character random alphanumeric string. This pattern is indicative of default configurations for Metasploit Meterpreter Reverse HTTPS payloads attempting to establish a Command and Control connection.
