7,277 detections

This rule detects DNS queries for reverse lookups, specifically those ending with '.in-addr.arpa' or '.ip6.arpa'. While legitimate, frequent or unusual reverse DNS queries from a specific device or process could indicate reconnaissance activities or attempts to map internal network infrastructure by an attacker.

This rule detects successful SSH login attempts from external IP addresses (not within common private IP ranges). It specifically looks for 'Accepted' messages in syslog from the 'sshd' process and filters out internal source IPs.

Detects anomalous lateral movement or network pivoting activity originating from an internet-facing Nginx server. The detection identifies an incoming HTTP POST request from an external IP address followed immediately by an outbound network connection from that same Nginx server to an internal RFC1918 host on the FastCGI port (9000). This behavior is consistent with the 'Velvet Ant' operation's technique of abusing proxy_pass configurations to relay traffic into isolated internal network segments via FastCGI request-chaining.

This rule detects potential beaconing or re-registration activity associated with the JDY/KV-botnet by monitoring network connections to known Tor control/relay ports (9001 and 9050). The detection identifies endpoints making high-volume, multi-destination connections to external IPs over these specific ports, a pattern indicative of botnet nodes attempting to re-establish C2 communication after infrastructure disruption or actively recruiting new nodes.

005
Detects instances where the fcgiwrap or spawn-fcgi processes, commonly used for Nginx FastCGI handling, are observed spawning system utility binaries (such as uptime, id, ps, who, or hostname) from unconventional locations like /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm, or /home. This behavior is associated with the Velvet Ant threat group for lateral movement and reconnaissance within segmented networks.

Detects the execution of GS-Netcat or GSSocket, known tools used by the Velvet Ant threat group to establish encrypted C2 tunnels and SOCKS proxies on Linux systems. The rule identifies suspicious command-line patterns, including secret keys (-s), listener configurations (-l -p), and shell redirection (-e), particularly when executed from volatile directories like /tmp/ or /dev/shm/.

Detects network connection attempts directed toward RFC 1918 private IP address spaces (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and localhost (127.0.0.0/8) that do not involve common Windows file sharing ports (TCP/445 and TCP/139). This behavior may indicate lateral movement, internal reconnaissance, or the use of non-standard protocols for internal communication.

Detects evidence of successful cache poisoning exploitation in Next.js applications by identifying specific marker files ('VULNERABILITY_CONFIRMED.marker' and 'evidence.json') created in conjunction with active 'next start' or 'next build' processes. This pattern aligns with Proof of Concept (PoC) code targeting object argument collisions.

This rule detects potential SSH brute force attacks by identifying high-frequency authentication failures from sshd logs (more than 10 failures in 5 minutes) and rapid, potentially automated connection attempts on port 22 (more than 20 connections in 1 minute) originating from the same source IP on Linux systems.

Detects instances where a Python interpreter (python.exe or python3.exe) initiates an interactive command-line shell (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, bash.exe, or sh.exe). The detection logic further narrows this behavior by looking for common reverse shell indicators such as socket connections or command execution arguments within the process command line.

Detects a high volume of successful network connections to multiple unique cloud storage services (Dropbox, Box.com, OneDrive) from a single device and user account within an hour. This could indicate data exfiltration or unauthorized access to cloud storage.

This rule detects potential ransomware activity by identifying processes that perform a high volume of file write, create, or rename operations across a large number of unique file paths within a short timeframe. It also includes a heuristic check for filenames containing 'inc' or 'lynx', often associated with specific ransomware variants.

Detects a highly relevant Antivirus alert that reports APT malware.
This event must not be ignored just because the AV has blocked the malware but investigate, how it came there in the first place.

This rule detects potentially malicious Wi-Fi network enumeration or profile creation using 'netsh' or 'nmcli', as well as the loading of 'wlanapi.dll' by non-standard, unauthorized processes. Such activities can indicate an attempt by an adversary to discover, connect to, or exfiltrate data via nearby wireless networks.

This rule detects HTTP POST requests to the MyBB admin panel (admin/index.php) that attempt to create or modify a user account with membership in the Administrator group (gid=4). The detection requires the presence of an administrator session cookie (adminsid), indicating an attempt by a lower-privileged administrative account to escalate privileges by assigning administrative roles to users.

Detects unauthorized HTTP requests to Gitea containing an 'X-WEBAUTH-USER' header set to 'admin'. This targets CVE-2026-20896, where a misconfigured reverse proxy trust setting allows external users to spoof authentication and gain administrative privileges.
