This rule detects exploitation attempts against the Log4j RCE vulnerability, also known as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228). It looks for various JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) lookup patterns, including LDAP, RMI, LDAPS, DNS, NIS, NDS, CORBA, and IIOP, as well as obfuscated forms of these patterns, which are commonly used to trigger the vulnerability. The rule specifically filters out known vulnerability scanning traffic from Nessus to reduce false positives.

This rule detects attempts to execute common Windows operating system commands via HTTP GET requests, which is a common characteristic of web shell activity. The rule specifically looks for URL-encoded versions of commands like 'whoami', 'net user', 'cmd /c', 'powershell', 'tasklist', 'wmic', 'ssh', 'python', 'ipconfig', 'wget', 'curl', 'certutil', 'copy \\', 'dsquery', and 'nltest'. These commands are often used by attackers to gain information about the compromised system, escalate privileges, or establish further persistence after deploying a web shell.
